I was in the car business in the 80's and 90's so I can agree that what you say is spot on. I can honestly say that I was lied to on more occasions than I can recall, and could also come up with dozens and dozens of war stories about how I was treated an a lowly car salesman. Truth is, as I see it, car sales folks are some of the hardest working people I know...with bills, and mortgages just like the rest of us....who'd a thunk? But folks like that aside, It was one of the jobs in my life that I liked the best and tryly enjoyed...aside from the nights, holidays, weekends...and snow days. Ask anybody in the car business what a snow day is...I doubt many of you will believe what we had to do when there was a snowstorm. I enjoyed working a deal with a prospect, and found that it was fairly easy to separate the liars from the buyers.
SA, I wonder if we ever crossed paths? I worked for a couple dealerships in Nashoa, and one in Concord.
