With the way everyone apparently feels about vehicle salespeople, why would anyone ever consider it as a career? You would be though of as a sleazeball thief, even if you were not. My experience has thankfully been different.
Ed and I own a used-car lot, and use the typical high-pressure approach to our advantage - we do the *opposite*. We offer a flyer on each vehicle with all the pertinent info to the customer, and if they wish, we'll quote them an out-the-door price. Then we tell them "we understand that smart people will comparison shop, so if we don't have exactly what you want, use our prices to get a good deal from another dealer".
We've had lots of good reviews from our customers (plus repeat sales) - the common theme is "they don't pressure you". One would think other places would notice that?
