Boy! I love car salesmen. They can do anything to make you buy from them and increase their profits.
Here’s one trick that Used Car Salesmen use that I learnt a few days ago.

If you ever go to a used cars market and tell them that you want to sell your car, they will invariably ask you how much do you want for it. When you tell them your expected price, some would reply — NO WAY! That car can go for much higher than that.

All of sudden your ego takes a boost and you leave your car with them to be sold off.

After some days, you get a call from them saying they have an interested customer if only you could shave off $500 from the price. You get the same call again after a few days. Then again. And again and again!

You keep getting these calls till the price they are selling at is much lower than what you wanted. And you don’t even realize they went this low.

After all, in every call they asked you to just shave off $500… hardly anything against the price they said they would sell it off for.

It’s highly unethical but that’s how it happens!
