The few car salesmen I have know have made no secret that "they" always have at LEAST some contempt for the customer. "If god did not want them shorn he would not have made them sheep"

If you tell a dealer that you are going to shop and compare his price with other dealers, you will never get his lowest price. To get his best price, you need to be prepared to buy the vehicle immediately.
