When we were looking at a Ford, I'd been emailing and phone-talking to the salesman about a week or so (three of four times, total). He absolutely refused to give a price on the truck ... He kept asking me, "Are you going to buy it?" and I kept asking him the price. He never gave us a price, even sitting in his office after taking a test drive -- and we finally walked out and tried another dealer. Ended up with the Chevy ...
The dude quit and went to work for my Chevy dealer. :S
I went to my dealer and said I'm going to buy a truck today. Sales man said we can do that; what have you got to trade in? No trade in, I just want to buy a truck today. Ok, lets talk finance. No finance, I have a checkbook and want to buy a truck today.
What is the price of the truck we are talking about? Well sir the sticker is 42K. Yes I know that Mr sales man, but what is the best you can do today so I can drive home in a new truck today. 42K is the best I can do sir. :S
Quit $@^&ing around. I haven't got time to %@$*& around. Now, give me a fair price and I will write you a check, done deal, I'm a sure thing dude. 42K is it sir.
Later, I'm out of here; as the guy watched me walk out of the door.
Called a friend who set me up with an old gray hair sales man. I told him the same thing as the other guy. He said, cool lets get you in a new truck today. What is the best price you can give me? 37K. (which was a fair buy at the time. Not a smoking deal, but I was not looking for a smoking deal, just a fair price.)
Cool, who do I write the check out to.................:) I drove home in a new LBZ Chevy.
It really was that simple, and the gray hair got it...........the other guy.....:R
