If you call up a dealer and ask if they have a specific model, take that time to see if you would like to work with that salesman as well. Don't make it too hard! -Moo |

Remember, you are there to get your questions answered, not to answer their questions. Therefore, you can ignore any of the questions you are asked. Don't ever argue with a sales person. If you don't like the sales person, walk away and talk to someone else. No explanation needed. If you have a definite plan when you go to the car dealer, you will enjoy the experience much more.

If the person slaps you back you don't want that one. He/she is obviously too aggressive. This salesperson won't give an inch in negotiations.  If the person starts to cry and falls to the floor you don't want that salesperson either. He/she has no backbone and won't fight with the Sales Manager to get you a good deal.  You want the salesperson who raises his/her hand to strike you and then pauses and says: "If you take the extended warranty you can slap me again!" This is a person who wants to make a deal.  Or you could just do what Bobst said.

Replying to: oldfarmer50 (Aug 13, 2007 11:34 am) We now use a battery and two clamps attached to each salesman's nipples. People can realize true pain now. And we actually see who has the backbone and who wants the deal. Good business for sure. -Moo
