Me too. I can't believe that kind of crap would work on anyone.

The only tactic that might work on me is a simple and immediate cash offer - ie, I have this cash on me right now, take it or leave it. In that situation - ie a real cash offer right in front of you, you have to weigh up the pros and cons of sitting on the car and whether you're likely to get a better offer or not. Any kind of spiel or patter would likely get my spidey sense twitching and make me less likely to deal.
