It could be my response was to the way they treated me. If you ever dealed with me you would know that your response is nonsense.
 
My whole point is that the percentage of salesmen/saleswomen and dealerships that go to great lengths to squeeze every nickel out of the deal is about the same as customers who do it. Lets face one fact, the current environment of car sales is a creation of the seller, not the buyer.

Well let me ask you, who is more to blame for the current way that dealerships and customers interact?

Probably the customers and the dealerships.
 
But let me ask you, how does this help me get the best deal and where's the buying tip?

Funniest post I've read on here in a long time.
 
Buying tip: Trust, but verify.

Its' hard to disarm a hostile customer sometimes but that's the job of a good salesperson. Some salespeople are unable to do this and they will treat their customers in the same manner they are treated.
 
If you were selling your own car in a private sale, you would be trying to get every dollar possible. Wouldn't you?
 
And the person looking at your car would be trying to pay as little as possible. All of this can be done in an easy, friendly manner.

True but I am also not going to apply a dollars worth of scotch guard to the interior and charge them $100.00, or add $50 just because I advertised the car in AutoTrader nor charge them $250 for $25 in accessories that they don't want just because every car I sell has it.

What about hostile sales people?

Yeah, but you probably would if your buyers demanded 20% off your asking price.
 
And hostile sales people wouldn't last long.

Why do you bring up this scotchgard stuff?
 
This has nothing to do with the topic.
 
I think you reap what you sow and I get the feeling that you walk in looking for a battle.

They don't last very long in this or in any business.

Hostile salespeople? You don't disarm them. You walk.
 
But we are way off track, and this has been done to death. Post a buying tip or move on, please.
