that anyone who is a genuine MSRP/sticker laydown-price-paying person would post here? They still walk the earth apparently, and are capable of working the internet. I used to think that anyone who had the ability to use the internet didn't pay MSRP. Live and learn. I stand behind similar people at the local quickie-mart as they buy lottery tickets. I'm happy to let such people help pay my taxes and cover the overhead at the car stores. |

Replying to: micosilver (Apr 19, 2008 7:51 am) This is not a story about a laydown, this is a story about a true professional salesman. Spoken like a professional car salesman. By definition when you pay MSRP you are a lay down and to prove it I looked up "laydown" in "car salesman's 101" very first text book and what do you think was there? No words, just a huge smiling face with the name OBYONE under it. It takes hot pants to buy a hot car. That's in "car salesman 101" too but as long as you're happy it's a good deal also something out of "car salesman 101". jmonroe

Replying to: jmonroe (Apr 19, 2008 2:13 pm) Ok so are we all in agreement that I am a laydown?  An interesting point about that dealership. They had been around since the late 1800s selling horse drawn carriages. My salesperson was the youngest on their staff at 59. The oldest I was told was 76. We are talking about the salesforce. Needless to say I doubt half of them are there anymore.

So, technically you were not a highly ranked laydown... just one of those "commoner"... mid to lower level laydowns.

Floor guy: "Ok, I talked to my manager. He says that he could have Janey wear a platinum wig and high heels, but he can't do any more."
