1009. On Your Side

Used car seller:
"Let me take this deal
to the Manager."

Link with 1008: Previously owned.

[My first car was a 1972 Toyota Corolla. Fortunately I had an experienced friend with me and he helped me haggle the price down a bit via this age-old buyer-salesman-manager process.]

makes me think of my first car -- a 1979 Oldsmobile Cutlass. :)

it's an old trick but they're still using it
(made me think of the double-glazing guy who came here) :)

Ain't it a joke. Most go in to buy a car, but hate to because of idiots you have to deal with.

Andrew: Cool, a little fancy (and faster) than my first. :-)

Floots: World over, eh? :-)

Pat: Yes, I hate it too. Toyota here though has some new policy where the price is advertised and is the same at all dealers. I think their goal is to remove this stigma. That is at least how it was here in Canada (or at least Alberta a few years ago...we haven't been in the car-buying mode lately).

Pamela: No, it was meant to by funny and serious at the same time. Glad you got a kick out of it. :-)

Thank you David, have a good week (and watch out for used car salesmen) :-)

Polona: ...you always bought new cars then?

Thank you all for the positive feedback...after posting I had thought this one might have been a little dull and too obvious.

as the matter of fact, yes :)
