He was such a child about cars, that it was harder with him then without him! <br />The most important thing I learned was no matter what, be ready to walk out if the the deal isn't EXACTLY what you want. Don't get guilted, or shamed, or tricked into something you don't want. Ask Master to help you determine some guidelines perhaps. <br />The other thing is, speak as little as possible. The salesman will try to engage you, ask you questions, get to know you so he can manipulate you. When he asks a personal question, redirect it, such as, "Where's the best place for a beer around here?" Innocuous enough question, but he's prying. You're response should be, "Let's just talk cars. Thanks." Don't get personal. <br />Good luck!!!! :)Tinahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05353035952903815111noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2193995482072739335.post-71941642404682250832012-03-29T17:58:46.428-04:002012-03-29T17:58:46.428-04:00One piece of advice I can give you is to go into t...One piece of advice I can give you is to go into these places knowing to hold your ground. I was looking for a car recently and I can't even describe how pushy some of the people can be. They make money off of a sale and sometimes won't even listen when you tell them you're just coming into look. On the other hand, looking for a new car can be such a fun and exciting experience. Just take your time and don't rush into anything. :) Good luck!Brookehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03910489208431359436noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2193995482072739335.post-42982999069518523892012-03-29T11:59:56.444-04:002012-03-29T11:59:56.444-04:00How weird!

It makes me nervous for many of the same reasons you mentioned - buying a used car honestly just scares the hell out of me. Master has bought.. *thinks* 3-4 cars that I know of over his lifetime, all of which were used cars from random people online/in the paper. He's had decent luck with it, but it still makes the paranoid person inside me cringe. We're still looking... *crosses fingers* Good luck to you and I both. lol<br /><br />(I have a car, but it was a hand-me-down from my parents, who were the original owners. The idea of buying something without known history is scary to me. <_<)zeldahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00019455370664410657noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2193995482072739335.post-24586159156772849122012-03-28T20:14:02.132-04:002012-03-28T20:14:02.132-04:00Thank you for this.

I'll check the dealerships hours and if they close too early, maybe I'll try to give them a call. (I feel worried that by asking them to stay late, I'll feel pressured to make a purchase, even though I know I'm not obligated.)Leahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17213567388808206135noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2193995482072739335.post-87625323086003482712012-03-28T18:38:51.328-04:002012-03-28T18:38:51.328-04:00Many car dealerships in my area stay open well pas...Many car dealerships in my area stay open well past six, especially if a salesman knows you're coming in and that there's a potential sale to be had. You may want to call around if having your sir with you is important.<br /><br />Girl DevianteAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
