Imagine that. A guy went to a car lot with cash and the salesman couldn’t make a deal.
I have a friend who's a car dealer and he was more than willing to take cash.
The only circumstance in which I could see not making a cash deal is if the guy was offering him less than the car cost the dealer.
I was once negotiating for a used car. It was a cash deal and I had my absolute ceiling. I walked away because the dealer wanted $100 more.
Never regretted it. I bought the next car. It’s got 275,000 miles and no repairs over $100 in eight years.
Years ago we were on vacation in Florida, and leaving a gift shop, found a $100 bill laying on the ground.
My wife (a little naive) wanted to go inside and leave the bill with a clerk in case someone came back to claim it.
I told her no way and that it would disappear into the clerk’s pocket as soon as we walked out the door.
However I did go back inside and talked to the manager. I gave her my card and told her that we had found something outside that someone would likely want back. And if anyone came in looking for something they lost, to call me and if they could identify it, I would get it back to them.
Never heard from anyone.
