Since then, I've read everything I could on the subject and followed that up with actual practice trips into a dealer ( I was 29) so I could learn to look them in the eye and say "Nope, no thanks". Sounds kinda weird but it really worked.
Now I have neices and nephews that ask me to go with them to the dealer, cause I fuck with them all the time. Especially when they use the "I'll need to talk to the GM about this".
My usual answer to that is : "Oh, does he keep the crystal ball in there? May I tag along? I've always wondered where you kept the all the secrets". Or "Oh, you can't make that decision on your own? Next time just take me right to his office, and we'll skip the formalities".

It's fun to bend their minds a bit.

I helped a friend buy a car that he was in love with about 7 years ago. The GM at the dealership all but took a swing at me. He wound up getting an incredible deal on the car, but he was literally willing to pay about 25-30% more than what he did.

seems like your friend is a dumbass or needs a man to go with her to get a car because they just took all kinds of advantage of hetr

I see.

I guess we'll just forget everything else you said after the first part of the first post, about the idea she has to get her money back on a loan she's purposefully going to default.

Much like Iowanian's NEVER made a bad financial decision of his own, been desperate, or done something he later regretted himself.

She has to be stupid to take the wrong path to securing reliable transportation for herself. Got it.

I feel much better having been in your presence Yahweh.
Perhaps you can now tell us all the meaning of life and how we've all been much too stupid to realize it was worshipping Captain Badass all along.

You essentially called her a dumbass in the thread starter, I merely agree with you.

God damn, that's hilarious.

"Sir, you can't go back there". (to the GM's office)

"I can't? Is there some kind of violation for going back there. Is it a HIPAA violation"?

"A what"?

"HIPAA. It's a .. forget it. I'd like to go back with you while you talk to the GM".

"We don't allow that".

"What? Why? Is there a dead body back there or is that where you bury the truth"?

I did no such thing, but carry on.

It seems to me like there's a business opportunity for someone to be a professional car negotiator. I'd pay a commission to someone if I could trust them to get me the best price, because I'm pretty sure that I'd save money over negotiating myself, even with the commission included. Buying a car is one of the most unpleasant experiences a person can have outside a Turkish prison.
