Many years ago I adopted a policy for dealing with car salesmen. When I
enter a dealership showroom, I tell the first guy who comes up to me, "If I
have questions I will ask you, otherwise, if you or any of your co-workers
begins to give me a sales pitch I'm leaving immediately and not coming
back." It took a while, but about 10 years ago a salesman at a local
dealership took me at my word. He immediately walked away and informed the
other sales staff to leave us alone. We ended up buying a pickup from him
(we had already done our homework on price vs. markup and the mechanicals,
reliability...etc.). 5 Years later we traded that pickup in for a new one
through the same guy. Did that again 2 years ago. Never has he said a word
to us unless we asked questions. Never has he tried to jack the price or
push a POS on us.
If you let them rape you, they will........ If you don't let them.....
