-- hey you've got this car for 18k I'd like to test drive
-- ok sure, here we go
-- ok, this rides great, brakes work, like the control panel . . . what can you do for us?
-- it's 18k so let me just go see what I can do . . .
five minutes later
-- ok, here you go, 24k . . . a great deal
--uh, what?
-- warranty, dealer fees, used car prep fees, sodomize you over a barrel fees, tax, you know . . .
-- what's this $1995 fee?
--used car prep fee . . . we spread that out over all the used cars
--so you add it to every used car?
--yes
--so why not just make it part of the price so we don't get all pissed off?
and then more haggling and high-pressure sales pitching, and then, let's get the manager (this is when the situation becomes so archetypal it's comedic . . . are we in a skit?) and then the calmer, cooler manager steps in
-- can we meet somewhere in the middle?
-- we don't want to go over twenty
-- we've got this other trim model?
-- can you put roof rails on it?
-- I'm not sure, probably not . . .
more salesmanship but not enough price lowering and then the inevitable walk-out . . . because you've got to walk out at least once . . . and maybe more times than that . . . what kind of fucked up business model is this?
