No affiliation, but i found this guy's youtube channel for his imported used car shop and it just reminds me of what it would be like to see an old school gran turismo used car dealer ship in real life. :D

I dont care if they are rather boring videos, I just get a huge kick out of seeing cars from my childhood video games getting standard used car sales pitches!

standard GT vehicles:

I ran into this Youtube channel a couple weeks ago. I ended up spending a lot of time on the computer that night. So much fun!

I would reserve the unspeakable things for something more along the lines of this:

Unfortunately, that particular dealer doesn't have a very good reputation.
I was looking at buying from them in the near future, but I found too many negative reviews about their after sales service, and less than adequate attention to mandatory warranty issues.

lol, it's about the cars, not the dealer.

I could tell the dealer was somewhat shady when he goes "Stock as a rock" and their are mods easily seen in the videos, and then he goes around and says " apexi exhaust" or whatever.
