car dealers...

[curmugeon]

Today I stopped at a car dealer to see what the market looks like, and having dealt with Saturn dealers for years, I can say that the experience leaves a lot to be desired. You get a run around, so I started playing hardball. I looked at a car and said what is the least you'd take for it... then the sales person culdn't answer, so I told him to find me the person who could. I eventually walked and had the head honcho chasse me down. Then he wanted to know what I was looking to spend, I told him that once he quoted me a price, then II'd decide if I wanted to proceed. I didn't buy a car, but decided that I'll shop somewhere else. I may go back to one of the online buying services, let them deal with the dealers.
