Upsetting sales call

[Bosco Took]

My 2002 SL2 had to be towed in to the dealer for, as it turns out, a dead
battery. I still have 8 months on the lease. I was somewhat "surprised"
when my salesperson called me, while the car was being examined, to tell me
that he saw my car towed in and wanted offer me a "special" deal to put me
in a new Ion. I was not amused! Is this standard sales practice?

I honestly think anytime you do something to remind them you exist(car
inspection, auto service, etc) a sales person will hit you with a
pitch.

Might as well get use to it.
