When I was finally ready to purchase my first vehicle I decided to start looking online as most college students do. There were many car dealerships around my house, but I have always had a bad perception of car salesman. However, I found a car that I wanted at a near by dealership and decided to go and see if I could accomplish the impossible and get a qualified salesman. When I arrived, I was immediately bombarded by salesmen asking if I needed any help. The first one that I answered was a young man in his late twenties who seemed like someone I could get along with. Right from the start it seemed like he was interested in what I wanted and wanted to try to help. He did ask me if I had any preferences and I told him that I had come to look at a specific car that I had viewed online. After that he seemed to only be focused on that car and did not try at all to show me any other car that I might like so I was disappointed I had no options to choose from. He did however ask if I wanted to take a test drive and at first, I thought he knew a lot about this car, a jeep compass, but later I found out that he was just agreeing with everything I said, and I quickly caught on to this. I chose a manual jeep because I have always had manuals and love driving them. However, I have never owned a jeep and did not realize that there is a special way to put it in reverse, so I asked the salesman how to put it in reverse and he sat there speechless. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\"><figure class=\"alignleft\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/encrypted-tbn0.gstatic.com\/images?q=tbn:ANd9GcSdmigq3Czr1fdvjDyLbfp0tRu5H-6wqUR5LCs5692SpuzO5kB55A\" alt=\"Image result for person shrugging\"\/><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>After all that time of telling me about all the nice features this vehicle had and how it would be the perfect fit for me, I realized he had been saying what I wanted to hear in order to make the sale.
