Replying to: jmonroe (Nov 05, 2009 5:01 pm) Yeah, the old profession definitely helps in my ability to successfully lurk around, and when dealing with my wife that is a sure asset. Will let you guys know how this works out. And thanks Richard for your support. Jipster: nothing more frustrating than to lose that 1800 on the GM card, nothing I can do about it unfortunately. |

This sterotype that all people who pay full boat are "happier" sounds like a bunch of bull as well. I grind the dealer to the bare bone,and I'm the happiest guy you'd ever want to meet.

You're not James Bond or any 007 secret agent. If you change the facts or circumstances a bit in a story, no one will know who you are... can't imagine anyone really caring. Glad to see we are still friends though... and the "choke chain" comment was a nice touch. Glad to see you still "got it" and aren't ready for the retirement home yet..

Replying to: jipster (Nov 06, 2009 12:34 pm) I know it's hard for you to believe but not everyone go's through life trying to squeeze every penny out of a deal. Not a sterotype but the truth. But, I know you would never understand. Since all of the other car people have been run off, gotten tired of the same old thing or died, there probably isn't any one left to support this. |

Replying to: jipster (Nov 06, 2009 12:34 pm) I'm with you. Many times I will grind right down to the bare bone and come away with the salesmans first born to boot and I have always been happy with my car purchases. FWIW the one I grinded the most I have sent plenty of business to.

Replying to: richard64 (Nov 05, 2009 7:40 pm) i overheard my wife saying to egghead, 'that explorer needs to last us another 4 years, until you are out of college'. i almost fell out of my chair, in another room. 4 more years? i was thinking 1 or 2 max, basically until it needs tires again. time will tell.
