She's a girl, therefore must be:
a. Stoopid and
b. Ignernt and
c. Submissive
Guess she showed them. Arf arf arf. Good for her.
My method for buying a car developed after discerning the pattern they
all seem to display. I always walk in knowing exactly what I want,
armed with research on pricing and all that crap. I very politely tell
them what I am looking for, then equally politely notify them that they
have 5 minutes to come back with a "yes" or "no" answer. If they fail
to do it clean, I walk out. Car salesmen are a breed I barely tolerate.
There are a million dealers out there, if you don't want to do
straight business, that is just fine by me.
As to why so many of them appear to be such slime - if you ever find
out, be sure and let the rest of us in on it.
