We all prejudge, any salesperson says that they do not is lying to you. But you treat every person with kindness respect and that person you think is a bum might not be and buy a car from you.
 
I usually can smell B.S in the first 10 minutes. The guys that come in with the bling and always on the cell phone and talk about thier "business" look at A6s and then after we drive want a 499 lease payment, because they are making several "business" changes so they need a low payment.
 
Audi A6 and A8 buyers know what they want and all about the cars so when they come in they often want to be left alone until they are ready to buy. They come off aloof but they can be if they want they are buying and $85,000 car.

Of course I didn't mean to imply that YOU would sprint out at a customer british. I'm sure maybe one in a hundred salespeople would be so thoughtless/inexperienced to do such a thing. I just thought it humorous that someone would be so eager to make a sale that they would run out at me like that.

You got it...Looks don't mean much but what they say and how they say it tells the real story. A windmerchant will always say something that will send up the red flag.

Nope doesn't matter what the race is running, be it the Indy 500, Daytona or whatever people still get the same deal.

Do a google search on car-buying, race, gender. I recall one study that said that a well-dressed (i.e., expensively dressed) woman got the worst deal.

I find it strange that one type of person would get a better deal than another.... The dealership/salesperson will try to make the most they can. They'll naturally start high and work down. When the customer agrees with the price, the deal is done. If there's a well-dressed man, will the dealer just instantly drop $5000 off the price and not even seek any profit? But if it's a woman or minority, they won't budge? That sounds really strange.... So basically this "study" said that the well-dressed woman just agreed to higher numbers than anyone else?
