We asked the only sales person working that night to open the door and he brushed us off. Said they were closing soon and ignored us. We were dressed in shorts, summer clothes. Tennis shoes we were in our early 30s.
So we said fuck it and came back the following day.
We asked that sales person for a co-worker, we were dressed the same way. The guy was so cool. He not only showed us the car, but said do you guys want to drive it. So I got in with him, the guy took me up the canyon, traded seats, didn't even ask for a DL, Never asked anything about us. The car sold itself.
We bought it from that guy while the other guy was next to us regretting the sale.
This is to that guy, 
Any similar stories? Let's hear it. |
Yeah, when I first started making really g ood money back in 2001. I went into the bank with a hat on, shorts, funky t-shirt, i was 25 years old. I wanted to speak to someone about getting a mortgage to buy a house. She had the look like i was wasting her time. She asked, well how much do you make and I told her "200". She looked confused like, wtf 200 dollars ? I said 200K, last year and gave her a copy of my tax returns from the previous year. Well needless to say once she saw that I made a LOT more than her she was kissing my ass, getting me something to drink, and trying to set me up with a checking, savings, cds, etc etc etc...
I was selling cars back in college for a couple months. My first day on the job, this 70 year old black guy and his family wanted to look at a new van. Im thinking i wonder if this guy can get credit and afford the down payment. We go to do the paper work and I mention financing and he says no, I have the cash here with me I will be paying cash.
I learned early never judge people by the way they look or are dressed, you never know.
