Newsflash: Those salespeople are not necessarily being presumptuous. They are judging your potential based on how you present yourself. Good salespeople do this well. Good judges of anything related to people do this well.
Here's an example: If I'm interviewing two males for a job, and the only real difference between the two is one is wearing an off-the-rack Armani suit while the other is wearing a well-tailored Jos A Bank suit, guess which one I'd hire? Jos A Bank man.
Presentation matters, no matter your resources. You don't have to wear your resources on your back (sic) to be taken seriously. But you do have to show others who don't know you from Joe Schmo (sic) that you have your sh** together.

Presentation is a factor, not the factor. But car buying is not a job interview. I don't feel the need to impress at a car dealership, unlike a job interview. People buy exotic cars in jeans and polos but can't buy fords in the same clothing?
