Ah yes, the time we researched a used car and came up with the correct blue book value. We added $500 to it for their profit. So when it came time to do the writing numbers on the paper game he wrote something like 15k. I wrote 10.5k. He did the "need to talk to manager" and came back 15 minutes later with 12.5 written on the paper. I wrote 10k on the paper and passed it back.

He went white. "You went down?!?"

And we paid 10k.

Or a different dealer, where we shook hands on the price. When I asked how to fill out the check they gave me a price of what we shook on plus something like 28 cents. That was a fun conversation.

Even the honest ones need to be watched very closely.

it isn’t difficult to find out the typical selling price of any new car. Most all of them will make the same deal for any of the common vehicles. It is just as important that I like the salesman than it is the price. I can buy a car from just about anybody. Might as well like them too.
