"...avoid hot scalding motor oil on your face..."
  
What are people doing, unscrewing the filter with their teeth?

 
Yes, or unscrewing it with their hands, and using the oil to shampoo their hair.

First of all I never said thats all a salesman does. Just thats how they supposedly build value.
 
Sales people are not magicians. I cannot create an impression of value.
 
A good salesman should be able to create an impression of value.

The REALLY good salesmen will convince you girls will find you more attractive in the more expensive shirt
 
Nope, the really good salesman will convince you that the girls will only find you more attractive with the more expensive shirt and the expensive slacks, jacket, tie, shoes, socks and underwear.

They move the front seats up to make the back seat area look bigger than it is with tons of leg room.
 
Here is the back seat of a Jaguar convertible that they had to the Chicago Auto Show back in February. Hate to see it with the seats all the way back.

Or if you have already figured out what you are will to either buy the car for, or offer for the car, just reduce that price by $700 and make the offer.
 
The problem with that is the dealership will drop/reduce the price on one end, and put it somewhere else. Local Hyundai dealer easily agreed to drop the price of a dealer add-on of alarm system, pinstripes, and mud flappers... listed at around $1.800. But, they would not go down very far on the price of their Tucson. So, even if they say they are dropping the price of Toyogard, it costs them something to have it put on, which the customer will end up paying for in some form or another. In the end you'll always end up paying more for dealership pre-installed add-ons than you would a car with only factory equipment ( all things being equal)... nothing is free.

Ouch, I couldn't fit my widdly piggy toe behind that seat, much less a leg. I guess most people who buy Jag convertibles are past the kid rearing stage.

Jag verts have never had any back seat room.
 
The couple I have sold I had to put my legs in the other side of the car to fit in the back.

Walking the lot I see that my dealer has restocked his inventory pretty well. All big stuff like Ram Trucks and big Jeeps.
 
Went by dealershi today for oil change (coupon for $19). They had a Wrangler Unlimited fully loaded (Rubicon). MSRP $36K. Next to sticker, there was a smaller once that said "Additional mark up $2,000." No fancy wheels, no protection package, nothing. Pure mark up.
 
I laughed and walked away.
