And the last three NoVA TAN threads wasn't proof enough of EVERYONE's idiocy??? It's the danged internet...we're allowed to be retarded in cyberspace.

Huh?

Very nice

just sayin' I enjoyed that post  

Take BITM with you  

I take pride in my negotiating skillz.  I like doing it, I like helping others with it.  Let me know man.  Give me some details.

Or take slake with you.  I listened to that guy negotiate a peace treaty one time for about 6 hours. 

There you go!  You've got two people now.  Really negotiating w/ dealers has changed in the last 7 years.  It is all about having the exact car, at a rock bottom price before you walk in the door, so there really is no negotiating.  If you walk in looking for a deal, they'll hagle w/ you for hours and play all of their games.  If you get a quote from them over the internet/email/phone what ever, they have to give you a good deal to get you to come to their store rather than the one down the street, and usually that is close to as good as you can get.

I have a quote from them, and a quote from a competitor for $400 less. The dealer I'm going to today, also adds a high processing fees than the other place, $300 less. I talked to the guy I am going to meet with on the phone and mentioned that, and he said, "oh, that is because that dealer is in MD, by law they can't charge more than $100 for a processing fee."

I told him, "well, I really don't care why they charge $300 less. that doesn't really matter. all that matters, is that's another $300 they have you beat by."

So what they need to do today is at the very least meet the price from the other place, minus $300.

eta: And probably chop a few hundred off that, as I could get the other dealer down as well, I expect. 

The last time Heather and I went and bought a car, she wore leather pants to, I don't know, distract the auto guy or something.  We got a good deal.  Got any leather pants? 

Lauren, perhaps your determination will help NL get a good deal

So why is this any different than the normal NL lunch break? 

True - and we know that NL occasionally enjoys five guys for lunch as well...

This determination of which you speak is a myth, and exists only in the minds of those living in other worlds, such as BT land. It has yet to prove its existance here on Earth and in my real life. And until I have definitive proof of its existance and powers, I cannot believe in it.

You underestimate the power of your determination.

See, it even brings Bill out of hiding

I love the LCD 

Yes, it's that scary little yellow Teletubby - that does really dirty things to Elmo.
