There is nothing worse than dealing with car salesman.

You deserve this truck

How much are you looking to spend a month?

ETA: Better decide quick, because we might run out of trucks by the end of the year.

Rumor has it that Shakespeare 'invented' about 30-40,000 new words, about doubling the language.

Now you know who to blame.

In the past I have attempted to introduce the word "stample," meaning "trampled by a stampede of something."

It never successfully caught on. I figure I'm just head of my time.

Stample? I like it but it doesn't have a menacing sound, like stampede. The safari was stampled by a herd of elephants??? or...The safari was mashed flatter than flap jacks by a stampedeing elephants???

That's complete bullshite, I saw someone get stampled just last week.

"What's it going to take to get you to drive away in this car today?"

I always answer, "I'm driving away in my current car if you say that again."

Salesmen:
Is this the car you want? Will you commit to buying this car?

Customer:
Well, that depends upon the price.

Salesman:
Never mind the price, we'll come up with the price later. I need to know that this is the car you want and are committed to buying.


When that fails --

Salesman:
What is it going to take for me to put you in this car?



I have pretty good credit, and I was looking at buying a new car last year. I found a great buy in the paper and I went out to the dealership. I looked at the car and it was fine. The salesman asked me to sign something called a "Buying Agreement," or something like that.

I told him I wasn't signing anything until I found out what sort of rate I was going to get.

He asked me, "Well what are you looking to pay per month?"

I told him, "I DON'T CARE. I'll make that call when I see what the rate is." He looked dejected.

He came out shook my hand and said, "Done deal. Let me send you into my finance managers office."

I just laughed and said, "It ain't no done deal until I find out what the interest rate is."

So I go into the finance woman's office and she has all the papers made out. She shook my hand and said, "Congratulations, I just have a few papers for you to sign."

I told her, "I ain't signing shite, and I ain't buying shite, until I find out what the interest rate is." She then said, "I thought this was a done deal. Well what are you looking to pay on a monthly basis?" I told her the same thing I told the salesman, "I don't care. I just want to know what the interest rate is."

SHe then said, "Well in this deal you'll only be paying $xxx.xx per month. You can't get much better than that."

I asked, "Over how many months?"

She shuffled her papers and said, "Uh, uh, uh, let's see ..." after about a minute, she said, "72 months."

I just laughed and asked, "what's the interest rate on that?"

She started shuffling through her papers and said she couldn't find it right off hand (it was actually on the front freaking page of the finance agreement.

I said, "That's it, I'm out of here," and walked out the store. I was in the parking lot when the salesman came and begged me to come back and told me that they would get me the info I requested.

I went back in and told the woman that if she gave me any more bullshite, I was walking. I then asked her, "FOR THE LAST TIME, WHAT IS THE INTEREST RATE?"

She looked down and said, "16.9".

I just laughed and said, "I know I have pretty damn good credit, and we're not even close, so this deal is over."

She replied, "Wait, wait, wait, I was going through our local bank, let me see what I can do through Toyota Motor Credit."

In the end, I got 4.9% and the "one at this price" sales price they advertised in the paper.
