What you're wearing and what you drove up in are scrutinized. The rush to judgement is somehow equated to the concept that time is money, so emphasis is placed on the perception of who is going to be your next deal.

I get that. That's why I parked my car away from the dealership and walk over and wear simple clothes. I don't want them thinking that I've got money, which I don't, nor do I want them to think that I'm a tire kicker and will waste their time. I will always ask questions I know the answers to just to see how full of sh!t the salesman is. It sucks that as a customer who just wants a fair deal, I have to play the game.

Not a problem. I actually thought of you when I read the ad because of your recent post about how to negotiate a car sale/lease. I accept that (used) car dealers are pretty obnoxious and arrogant but this ad was beyond and I just had to share it here.
