re: First trip to a car dealership to look into buying a new car

I’ll never understand why so many people stress out about the car buying process. The money, sure. But the sale process? You’re the customer. You control what happens. Find a car you like, a price you can accept, and buy it. It’s really that simple. The dealership is going to make a profit off you so don’t worry about all the bullshite expectations of “getting a great deal” as if the dealership is ever gonna lose money on the sale.
