Better Not To See

Otto von Bismarch said, “Laws are like sausages, it is better not to see them being made.”  I want to add to that.  It's also better not to see me make a car deal.  In fact no one will go with me to get a new car.  My financial controller used to go, but she is squeamish about all the blood and guts that it takes to make a decent car deal.

I had to go and trade my number two granddaughter’s car this week.  My daughter, son-in-law or granddaughter did not go with me.  My financial controller hid under the bed and wouldn’t come out.

The end result was that I got the deal done for 75¢ less than my original offer.  This was after the salesman wanted me to pay about $2000 more than my offer.

I don’t see why more people don’t take my simple approach to trading cars.  All it takes is a killer instinct and really bad breath.

Eat onions and garlic and get in their face when you talk.
