So now (over break) we get to the actual sales portion of this whole endeavor. I made the two hour journey to the dealership, arriving in the pouring rain, I immediately started going over the vehicle, trying to gain as much information as I could from the vehicle. I also spent the time talking to the very pleasant salesman, after a good test drive and finding nothing severely wrong with the vehicle, we sat down and discussed price and completed the sale.\u00a0 This was absolutely an exercise in pre-purchase research, as my knowledge of the particular vehicle lead me to be able to quickly verify the condition of the car, decide whether the few small imperfections were things I wanted to deal with, and come to an agreement on a fair price based on the work the car did need.\u00a0 In my opinion this also allowed me to be on a similar (if not higher) level of knowledge to the salesman, which resulted in me being able to be very casual and social with him, resulting in a good deal for both of us. I’m very glad of this, because my biggest worry (besides the car being junk) was having to deal with a difficult salesman. Overall this was a good purchase experience that gave me a lot of insight into the buying and selling process of such significant purchases.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
