That misses a whole bunch of reasons a person could be "at the lot" other than for buying.
Easy, real world examples:
* You're killing time while waiting for the other half at a nearby store
* There's a whole group of vehicle "lots" next to each other, so you're taking a look at all of them for a better understanding of your options
* Your car is being repaired / in for a service (or similar)
(etc)
I wouldn't kill time at a fertilizer store if I didn't have a garden, though.
> * There's a whole group of vehicle "lots" next to each other, so you're taking a look at all of them for a better understanding of your options
This still means that I realize the value of a car for me.
> * Your car is being repaired / in for a service (or similar)
Same as the one above here.
Selling you on the concept/lifestyle is for when you don't yet know you need a specific thing. When you're at the lot, you're past that.
That wasn't what you were presenting in that sentence though, which is what I was responding to. ;)
You would if you had nothing to do other than walking into a fertilizer store. Very small chance of happening that to you, but I do like going into stores and see what they sell even if I don't need anything in there for me.
I might learn something.
