ok, damn, part 5. this is LONG.
BUT, it has some amazing info on how to manhandle the sales guy. very good info on how they work.

I see myself driving into the lot, prepared to buy a car, but refuse to fall victim to the games of the salesman. pull into an empty parking spot infront of where one happens to stand, rev the engine staring at the guy. shut it off, and ask if he noticed the lightened flywheel. i introduce myself and say, "let me help you find my new car" while giving his hand shake his own 'tug'.

I guess a good way to screw them over is to set the amount of money you're willing to spend and keep it to yourself, and when they ask you, "How much are you willing to spend?" subtract about $3,000 from that amount.

I read this last week.........very interesting..........I use to have a salesman (three cars from him in 4 years), who would tell me the game beforehand with the sales manager, I would have to walk out and wait on them to call me back, would come back and still not the price I want, walk out again and wait on them to call back again......it usually took about a month to finish negotiating......would pay my salesman $100.00 on the side......

hehe i used to be a PC salesman and it doesn't seam too differant from what they tried to get me to do. i did like this though reminded me of my application!

Then, at about number 73, was this loaded question: "I like guns: yes or no?" I wondered how they would react if I crossed out the word "like" and put in "love." Better yet, I considered inserting the word "automatic" in front of "guns."
