My negotiation skills suck. I don't think I _have_ to be skilled in
negotiating to spend thousands of my dollars at a dealership. I'm one of
those people that just can't seem to say what they need to say, or have the
directness needed to be a 'negotiator'. I HATE trying to buy a new car, and
it's why I passed on an 02 and bought my 94 YJ from a private sale.
I don't want to own a Saturn. I don't want to limit myself to waiting for
the one selected model in an advertised special.I wanted the TJ (sorry Bill)
that I wanted but couldn't get the 'deal' that I could have if I had
negotiating skills. Should I take a course? Bah.
You sound like a successful salesman for sure. I'm glad you enjoy it. But
don't expect the negative comments you're receiving is just because of one
bad experience. Not everyone is good at head games or quick with a reply, or
has the skills required to take 3k off the asked price.

Do you enjoy taking extra money from elderly or naive people who are
not good negotiators or who believe you when you 'negotiate'?
