Then tell them you like the car, you would have bought one, but now you'll never buy anything from them (and why). The pain of lost commission will torment them for years :-) Mike

Hi All. I haven't had much time to write, but I wanted to share a driving experience I had last week. As most of you know I recently started a job selling new Volvo, Audi, Mazda and Audi cars. I've b

I had the opportunity to rent an XC90 last spring in Philly and it was a great car. Wish I could afford one. Of course, if I had a friend at a dealership that could get me a great deal on a demo.....

I don't suppose much has changed since I was 17 and went for a lot dealer - 'test drives'. You pretend you are interested in buying a car. Wearing smart clothes (for a 17 yr old helps). Daniel1312
