Small Town Vs Big Town

Car dealing is not one of my favorite things.  It is a necessity sometimes.  There are two ways to buy a car.  I will call them - Small town vs big town.

Here is my take on each.

Large town dealership -

• three salesman tackle you as you get out of your vehicle on the lot - only one wins your hand
• you look at 37 cars that they show you that do not match what you told them your price range was
• you finally find one that maybe you can afford.
• You to to his desk - one of twenty in the building. -  He begins to try to be your buddy.
• You tell him what you can do - he tells you he must talk to the boss - tells you that you are real shrewd
• He comes back with a counter offer.
• You counter offer - he goes back behind the curtain to the wizard.
• He counters - he goes to wizard a third and forth time and finally says you win and you agree on a price.
• You go to fill out the papers with the finance man - the final dollar amount is bout $300 higher than your agreed upon price
• He tells you it is processing fees and he cant waive them.
• You get mad but you make the deal anyway and you swear never to go back there again.

Small town deal.

• You see a couple of cars you like as you drive by.
• You stop and ask the one salesman as you stand inside the building - What is your bottom dollar.
• He tells you that here is the best price.  - You believe him.
• You drive around the block and say - I will take it.
• You go back in and fill out paperwork.  
• $amount is exactly what he said it would be
• You drive off feeling good.

Which one do you like.
