JUNE 2

Sugar Land, TX

4 Hours in Hell.
Don't let the balloons fool you. The car dealership has a plan to keep you there, and to wear down your resistance.
But I worked in sales in a past life, and I know the tricks and pitfalls.
I got what I wanted (not the one in the photo) and for what I wanted to pay.
I'll show you tomorrow.


other sizes: small medium original auto

I buy cars over the phone/internet now. My truck I bought in October 2011- I had three salesmen spinning themselves INTO a frothy mess over my deal. I was an ass. I was "almost", I say almost embarassed by my behavior. Your not my friend, not my buddy, dont care about you. Nope just sell me my car. I had no trade and my financing was done at my bank. I'd call one dealer up, then the second, then the third adn hang up on all of em- I ended up taking an addtl 2400 bucks out of the deal. Never test drove the truck, showed up at 9:30 on a Saturday Am and was on the road by 10:15. I refuse to play games-

what makes me laugh, is that the one you want, is the last one of that kind, only to find 12 of them at the next garage. :)

All those balloons make it look so festive. Great exposure and photo. Can't wait to see what you bought. V.

I think the only thing more fun is a sharp stick in the eye...
Must have been hard to part with your old faithful. Good for
you on the negotiations. Now for the good part -- enjoy!

A process most of us dread.

Now you don't have to go back for many many years.
Lets see your new baby.
Ours is called Black Beauty. Gonna name yours?

New wheels, eh? Can't wait to see them tomorrow!
And yes, spending time in a car dealership is on par with spending time in hell!
