Array ( [sid] => 56725 [catid] => 1 [aid] => mick [title] => Used Car Salesman [time] => 2004-07-19 05:21:04 [hometext] => Absolutely never go out to buy a car without first checking on the internet about the dubious, if not downright immoral practices of car salesmen... [bodytext] => Mistake not
His sleazy grin
For the smile
Of a friend,

He is a predator
And his young
Are mean and
Cowardly curs

With hearts as cold
As their baleful eyes
Salivating after
The hapless lamb

These are worse
Than the rabid wolf
For they have
The mind of Man

A couple of years ago, the wife and I traded in our old
pickup for a '98 Pontiac Grand Am Special Edition.
We were successful in negotiating a fair deal at the first
two levels of used car dealer chicanery.

It was at the 3rd level where I relaxed my vigil,
thinking that all of the negotiating was over and
that we had a deal. This is when you're in
the administrator's office drawing up the formal papers.
Before I realized it, they managed to crack on
another $4,000 and change in add-ons.

We managed to extract ourselves from most of the add-on
debt, but it still cost us an extra $250. Needless to say,
my bunkhole is still sore!

You know, I've never come out of a new or used car
dealership yet without feeling that I've been royally
and truly shafted.
