Elias I agree with your statement in a previous post, this should probably end as it will probably denigrate into a flame war, something that has been refreshingly absent from this site. However, I am still trying to get at what you are saying, in your original post you state,
“Hey I have a question for you. I have a big wad of cash (lying)”
and above you write,
“I don’t like wasting people’s time anymore than the person who’s time I would be wasting.”
I’ve been in sales related professions for the better part of the past 25 years-I currently own a country inn with my wife and part of our job is to sell rooms-and I can honestly say that any time I have lied to a prospective customer I have wasted their time and any time a potential customer has lied to me they have wasted my time. You certainly have a right to lie to a salesperson, I’ll get off my high horse in that regard, but then to state that you don’t like to waste their time simply makes no sense at all.
As a final comment I’d say that SafetyFirst probably made the most sense of anybody in this thread when he spoke about engaging the salesperson with your common interests, asking intelligent questions to let him or her know that you know what you’re talking about. Any customer who knows about linear throttle response also knows that MSRP ain’t the best he can do, a good salesperson should recognize this and it should eliminate some of the BS.
