RE: Gotta Love Those Dealer Sales Guys....
ORIGINAL: Ruffnuts
As a former car salesman for a Ford dealer I have to chime in.. First off salesmen are working to make a living, its a job and like all jobs each wants to be succesfull and get paid for it. I dealt with alot of email and phone buyers shopping a price and whats sad is people will spend 50 dollars in gas driving to 10 dealers just to save 25 dollars on there car.Everyone expects to get thousands off every car and thinks salespeople are evil and rich.. LOL..
The best thing you can do is educate yourself before you ever talk to a salesman, you would be surprised how much better things go if you show up in person with some good research on your side. Bottom line is the dealership, salesman, and Ford want to make a sale.

1) One knows what your house is valued at according to county tax records/comparable sales in your area, offers you $200K.
2) The other is willing to give you $210K because they are in a hurry and really like your house.
You obvioulsy sell to buyer #2 and then buyer #1 bitches at you for being greedy. What would you say to them?

LOL...thanks for the laugh. I went to buy tires this weekend and a local chain tried to sell them to me for $180/each. I laughed andtold them they were $95 on TireRack.com. They matched the price, butI can't imagine how many soccer moms they rob blind.
