Every vehicle on the Jenkins lot has a separate sticker with worthless add-ons (see Post No. 96). It is the salesperson's job to trick the customer into paying for those add-ons and other bogus fees. Uninformed buyers will get ripped off, and rapport will not help.

Well, there’s one of two ways I can see myself shopping for a car; either I see one on the lot I like, and the price is worth it to me (I don’t really care what it is worth to other people that much I’m not flipping) on my own without help - like going to an open house. Or I have an exact list for a new model to be delivered with those specs precisely - like a new built home. I already know what those prices should be. I’m not sure I need a salesman for much.
