THANKS! I'm married, so it's so rare that anyone says that I am exactly right! :) I'm joking, of course. I have found that this strategy works the best. Plus it empowers the salesman to work the numbers however it works out best. Sometimes, they get a bonus on the price of a car, or a bonus for an undervalued trade in. Just like the idea that businesses should make a profit, I don't care if the salesman can get a higher commision by adjusting the numbers --- as long my number for the difference is in the range of what I want to pay. Also, if you consider that the manager is the one who is ultimately going to sign off on the deal, think of him as your friend. He (or the salesman) may get a bonus for selling a car even if they make less. At the dealership? I worked at if the sold 50 cars, there was a big bonus and it didn't matter if they made $50 or $1000 on the 50th car. It was a bonus just for getting to the 50th car in a month or maybe it was a week, I can't remember. Donald H. Snook McDonald, Tinker, Skaer, Quinn & Herrington, P.A. 300 West Douglas P.O.
