The salesman, who was a bit of an ass, said "ohh that car costs $1,000" my grandpa said sold. The merc actually was work 6k and the court ruled that it was a verbal contract so the guy couldn't get out of it

Just saying that you can take advantage of these guys if they think that you aren't serious.
lol I truly wish you could pull that shit now

Will they think you are punching above your weight?

My mother got her E class for 7 grand less due to us inquiring about certain info that we had done research on...

the bmw symbol got me a 25 mile test drive on a mustang 5.0

the stereotypes still exist, but generally speaking it's not that bad.
