I like to sit there and eat donuts and drink coffee and wear THEM out.

It also doesn't hurt to bring a screaming toddler who wants to go home and watch cartoons. Start driving people out of the dealership, and service speeds up right quick.

Brilliant! Screaming toddler = a universal experience that only generates judgement in people who have never spent any time around toddlers, and dealership employees know that. Re the nature of the product, how it will be used, and who will use it, it might not be prudent to leave kids out of the equation, and dealership employees know that as well. All they can do, if they feel the noise is disruptive, is to speed along the process as much as possible...which can work to the customer's advantage.

Fantastic idea. Borrow someone's kid and feed them copious amounts of sugar then head to the dealer!


Buying my car was a massive waste of time. I asked a few questions about the car. The salesman wouldn't answer any of the questions directly. Each question required a trip to the manager's office. When I started getting to pricing, the return time from the manager's office took significantly longer. All in all, they wasted 4 hours of my time before I finally was able to get my questions answered and get an out to door price. I should of walked and went somewhere else, but I desperately needed a car.

Yeah, then it just becomes a pissing match. Had that happen once but with the Finance Guy. By the time I was finally allowed to sign the contract, we both hated each other and we knew it.
