Replying to: richard64 (Nov 09, 2009 2:18 pm) If one steps away from the office to save even $2000 on a car purchase but may lose out to a $5k sale/bid/contract because of it, then it's not worth for them to do so. It reminds me of a seasoned sales guy that told us rookies in the biz about the $500 lunch. If you're a salesperson on the floor and you go out to pick up your lunch, you may lose out on a deal with $500 comission, hence the lunch cost you $500. So it's better to either pack lunch of have it delivered. Even if you pay an extra $5 for delivery but get that sale, you're already ahead. |

They move the front seats up to make the back seat area look bigger than it is with tons of leg room. I'm surprised they didn't teach you that little trick at Honda.

Thanks guys for all your comments. We picked the car up and everything went as smooth as silk. The rude SM shook hands when we first came in and we never saw him again, thankfully. The whole thing took about 1 and 1/2 hours and all the folks we dealt with could not have been nicer. Half hearted attempt at selling a couple of extras, which we declined. All in all, very pleased with the car and the transaction.
