New Car - Round 2

The nice thing about the Ford dealership was they were willing to pick me up for a test drive. I drove the Focus back to the dealership where everything went downhill. The first thing I noticed was that the back seat is TINY. Now, I know 1) I will hardly ever have someone ride back there and B) Screw them as long as I have enough room. The problem was that I was looking for the Focus to come in around $30 less than the Sentra. It initially came in around $20 more. After some long negotiations, they finally matched the Sentra. The sales guy was really nice and laid back, which I appreciate. When he saw the deal wasn't going to happen, he used some very basic sales techniques to try and save it. He brought in some douche to tag team me - this is meant to have someone to play off of and put a little pressure on me. They proceeded to take the conversation away from the car by talking to Stacey about working in the zoo. Wrong move. Everyone knows I'm a little egotistical and that I like talking about myself. In the end, we differed on how valuable the Focus was.

Today I picked up my new Nissan Sentra. :)

Very sharp! I think I might look into them as well.

I liked your story about the Ford dealership. I read it out loud to Grace, and asked if she did the tag-team technique. She doesn't, which made me happy. I hate when they pressure you like that.

Again, congratulations!!!
