Then the salesman came outside and said they would accept our offer, so we parked the car, went back inside, and bought the car.

While we waited for the deal to be written up, we had a nice discussion about the history of science with the salesman. Afterwards, we bought a $100 gift certificate for the local supermarket and sent it to the salesman.



Since we never negotiate, we have no need to talk with the sales manager.
I'm sure nothing has changed in the last 18 years.
