I realized the other two guys were dealers, but it seems like they're giving information on the edge of maximizing the position of the person they're advising, not giving a fair position all around.

I'm also a polite dealer's worst nightmare, just because I come up with arcane questions. I'm polite too, and not credit challanged, and not rushed to buy a car.

Also, compared to market context and blue book, I've never overpaid for a car. The SVT was a fair all around deal, and the Sentra was a raving bargain. Maybe they weren't so great in terms of auctions, but I don't consider those a fair assessment of the value of a car, as you're going back to the wholesale stage doing that, versus retail.

I just think you're trying to deal too sharply on this one to be fair to everyone.


You can pillage an enemy once, but a customer is an endless resource.
