Also when you shop for a big ticket item should have some idea of what it might cost.

Do not think a crime was committed though.


I agree. Car sales people are constantly going to classes and being coached on how to close the deal...keep in mind, this is what they do for a living week in and week out...they know how to do it

the average person is NEVER on a level playing field when dealing with a car sales person... add into the mix that the person is elderly and may not have done any homework and that's a 'perfect storm'

when my father-in-law retired, he sold his Toyota dealership...he always negotiated the deal for anyone in the family when it came to buying an automobile...regardless of brand
