1) "Well being that I'm not a car salesman, chances are I would be able to afford it before you ever could."

2) "Yeah...it's too bad you couldn't afford a nice suit (hairpiece, plastic surgeon, dentist, etc.)."

3) "How ironic! That's exactly what your (mom, wife, sister) said when I stopped to pick her up on the corner last night! But I told her to shave her back or lower the price..."

Nah, it was a pretty clever trick actually. Most folks would feel the need to prove how much money they had. After you tell a car salesman that you have plenty of money to buy a viper how low do you think he'd be willing to go on the price of a minivan, suv, whatever.

That was a great line almost guaranteed to get financial info out of a prospective buyer. Yes, it was offensive, but most folks wouldn't walk because of it I think.
