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.]
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.
From "The Haiku Anthology" I became interested in Haiku and I have since written numerous haiku, senyru, and tanka. "Masago", my haiku pen-name, means "grain(s) of sand" in Japanese. I have recently started learning Esperanto and Japanese. A few years ago I developed a new eastern verse form which we now call 'Renhai'.

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.
bwaaaa ha ha ha haahaa.
my 'bestest" laugh of the morning.
from sad experience.
(sorry if you didn't mean it to be funny)
