Advantages: You get a feel good feeling

Disadvantages: Feel good feeling = conned

Ok so you want a car, you stipulate an upper limit of how much you'll spend, and decide what kind of car you want, then you go to a dealer.

As soon as you've walked onto the forecourt you turn into Mr/Mrs Gullible. The salesperson approaches, and asks 'can I help you' [translation: you're mine]. So you tell him/her what you want and what you can afford and he/she says how much can you afford a month [translation: I'm going to get you on credit interest charges, haha].

This familiar little tale continues until you find a suitable car (probably not the car you had in mind). Now comes the real art (con) of selling 'negotiating' a price.

The saleperson puts the ball in your court, how much do you think it's worth, an offer is made and off the salesperson goes to see the manager to see if he will accept a lower offer and returns.

This little game happened to me and it wasn't until I saw a documentary on car sales that I knew I been done as well . But that's the real art of these dealers making you feel that you've got a good deal.

This little charade will continue until more people are aware of how this kind of sale is secured by the salesperson.

Beware you may think you're tough but watch out for the Salepersons little spell that the cast over you as soon as you are on the forecourt.
