Car salesmen are like strippers - they may not be the brightest people in the room, but they can smell you from 10 miles away whether or not you have money to spend that day/night.

Plus, guess how many people drive to the dealer thinking "Oh, the market is so bad these days, I wonder how much they'll give me for my car and give me 50% off sticker price for this vehicle..."

This is just the beginning of a downhill rollercoaster ride... anybody start taking chinese lessons yet?
