Interesting question. I find that I come to terms with what I will offer, do that and wait. I haven't bought that many cars, but it usually takes about a week before I get a deal made. If they took the deal right now, I'd be worried I left big money on the table.

I sold cars for a very brief period. I went through GM training so I got the sales technique from some pretty sophisticated and well developed method. It's great to have been on the 'other' side.

I was leading the board, as they call it, when some dickhead sales manager berated the whole team. I told him to FO and I walked, literally, off the lot. Came back in a couple days and picked up my license card. Never wanted to do that again after seeing the back side of a dealership..

PP buying and selling is a major PITA. So if I'm buying or selling PP, I'm just a total dick. There's really no other way.
