A buyer needs to do research and know the real value of a vehicle or they will get ripped off.
Hubby used to own a car dealership, he trained both used and new car salesman. Hubby could sell ice to an Eskimo, because first he establish rapport. He could sell anything to just about anyone because first of all, he sold himself. And one if the ways he did it, is to find out what the client wanted and how to best match that, or get the client to want what he had. Can’t do any of that if you do not have rapport.
