How to buy a new car LOL!

A post lifted from the Bullitt Mustang Board:

"Bring the Kids!!

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
My friend brings his four kids plus a couple of their friends and tells the to 'raise some hell'. They run around the dealership screaming and yelling to the point of driving other customers out. He already knows what he wants and does his research concerning trade-in values. A few minutes with the salesman and the sales manager explaining what he wants for a 'bottom line' and they are already preparing the paperwork. They don't even bother trying to sell him any extras, they just want him (and the kids) out of there. He typically is in and out in about an hour or two then he takes the kids for ice cream!

And I can't believe some of the deals he gets!"

If I didn't actually hold my kids to a high standard for behavior in public, that would be a great idea.

If he was truely a genious, he would take them for Ice Cream first. He's be in and out in under an hour, especially if they brought the ice cream cones with them to the dealer...

I did that with my 1 year old one time. I had taken a car for an overnight test drive, and decided I didn't want it. I took my son with me when I returned the car to the dealership, and I was in and out in 2 minutes. The salesman didn't seem to want to argue with the guy juggling a baby, diaper bag, and juice. He just told me to call if I changed my mind.
