I asked who wants to sell me a car? agree on the price and bought it. I really don't car who earns my money.
I was 19 when I was ready to order my 1974 914 2.0. I walked into the VW-Porsche-Audi dealership and was totally ignored. I finally picked out the oldest looking salesman and sat down at his desk and stared at him. He finally asked if he could help me. I told him I was there to order a Porsche. That got everyone's attention. Of course he wanted to sell me what was on the floor.

I knew way more about the the 914 that he did. I started with my list of what I want. It took them 6 months to get in my car.
