I walked into a dealership and told the sales guy that I was "going to buy a car today."

When we couldn't reach a deal and I started to leave he said, "I thought you said you were buying a car today."

My reply was "I didn't say I was going to buy it here."

You went to a “truck” dealership to buy a “car”?

Don’t back yourself in a corner. Say you’re ready to buy one as soon as you find the right price.. That gives him some time to come down.

Buying a car should be fun. But often it's the last thing I want to hassle with.

Sounds like you wasted some time at a dealership.

You are the Car buying guru of TD, why would you even do that. Were you just bored and felt like screwing with someone?

I am at a point in my life now that I don’t hassle as much with the dealerships.

What’s another 2 years in financing to an OT baller.

My parents had a dealership on the Northshore say that the scratch on the bumper was no big deal. They went on to say that it was going to be scratched up in a grocery store parking lot at some point anyway so why worry about it. Needless to say, they were having none of it for a NEW car. The craziest part of all of this is that the guy informing them of this had his name on the building. On a final note, this "new car" had sand, dog hair, and french fries in it too (it evidently was a loner for someone that took it to the beach). It's crazy how customer service and quality control have gone downhill so noticeably.

I know several car dealers. They all say the jack arse who walks in and says "I'm going to buy a car today".....never buys a car and aren't taken seriously.

No prep work, no deal. You’ve got to work the deal for a week or so if you want the right price.
