A retired older couple return to a Mercedes dealership where the salesman has just sold the car they were interested in to a beautiful, leggy, busty blonde in a mini skirt and a halter top.

The old man was visibly upset. He spoke to the salesman sharply. "Young man, I thought you said you would hold that car till we raised the $55,000 asking price," said the older man. "Yet I just heard you closed the deal for $45,000 to the lovely young lady there."



"And if I remember right, you had insisted there was no way you could discount this model." The salesman took a deep breath, cleared his throat and reached for a large glass of water. "Well, what can I tell you? She had the cash ready, didn't need any financing help, and, Sir, just look at her, how could I resist?", replied the grinning salesman sheepishly.


Just then the young woman approached the senior couple and gave the car keys to the old man.. "There you go," she said. "I told you I could get that idiot to lower the price...."
"See you later, Dad, Happy Father's day"



OPTIMISM IS GOING AFTER MOBY DICK IN A ROWBOAT AND TAKING TARTAR SAUCE WITH YOU!!!

SWEET!! True story here. My uncle in north Texas bought a new Cadillac convertible every year.He used them to run the pasture. He'd sit on top of the seat + steer with his foot + had a stick to work the accelerator.He had a 22 in his other hand + he chased jackrabbits.Anyway one day after cutting calves (read castrating) out at the ranch he had the notion to go into Wichita Falls + buy his new caddy.You can imagine how he smelled.He strolled in,told the (new) help that he wanted one + painted pink + be ready for pick up by 4:00. The new guy gave him the bums rush. Uncle Harold was pissed + while he was storming out the door,the owner looked out + just caught him before he left, appolgizing profusely + guaranteeing that his new caddy would be ready in pink at 4:00.Don't know what happened to the (ex-salesman). You can't judge a mans worth by his apperance. Boy I wish I could do that just one time.

Imagine Howard Hughes wandering into a car dealership.

O.K. on + off the subject on dealerships,this was told by Roger Miller,yep,that one. Guy goes into a used car lot + starts kicking tires,etc. A sales rep comes out + asks him if he is thinking about buying a car. He replies,"No I KNOW I'm going to buy a car;I'm thinking about pussy."

reminds me of my last car purchase.

I wandered in and started dickering with the salesman.
I wasn't getting anywhere and after looking at my credit he wasn't really interested in working with me.
the sales manager finally come over. [been there for like 4 hours now]
and after some more haggling I said look if I wanted to buy that car right there and was to pay for it all at once what would the bottom dollar I drive it away right now price be?
he looked at my ripped coat and sweat pants then out the door at my old pick-up for a minute and finally says well if I dropped this, and his commission, and gave you the rebate, [plus the discount I got from my company] he thinks for a second then throws down a stupid low number just to throw it in my face.

after all there was no way I would get the thing
right?
here sat a 50 YO dude with no credit and no history of any credit, and he looks like a Bum.

I looked at him for a second and figure out the original asking price minus everything to get the total he come up with [comes out to like 25% less]
okay that sounds reasonable.
I write him a check for the amount he quoted me, and hand it to him.
he still thought he was gonna get out of it and said he would be right back and walked over to the phone at another desk and called the bank right in front of me.

my youngest daughter burst out laughing and said i'll see you at home, give me the truck key's.
the sales dude just sat there looking like he was gonna throw up.

Best post Of The Year,So Far!!

I had a good friend in Odessa, Texas forty years ago. I'm sure he's dead now. A great guy. He was richer than all of us put together, times ten. His catch phrase he used almost every day was, "don't let the old clothes fool you".

He always dressed like from the 1950s, and wore a hat. He would laugh about how his friends would always give him Hell about the way he dressed. Whenever Troy would go to the Country Club for lunch, he would lay his hat upside-down on a table in the lobby. All his friends knew it was his, and they would drop their change in his hat when they left. Troy told me early-on someone dropped a note in his hat telling him to buy himself some new clothes. Troy would just laugh, put the change in his pocket, and to my knowledge never bought any new clothes in the time I knew him. Maybe that's how he stayed rich.

Check out the King brothers.

Along the same lines;there used to be a Army+ Navy store in Killeen by Ft. Hood.that dealt in surplus material (mostly illegal).Anyway old Sam had the store set up with aisles so small that one had to brush past other customers.The old fart did that so he could rub up against women customers.The point here was that he had a crowded store + cash register counter as well.Everyone brought their purchases to the counter + Sam would ring up the till.Here is the treat[he had one of those little Texas belt buckles lying on the counter for .50 cents]Every time he rang up a sale he added .50 cents. If you caught him at it he would say,oh that's not yours,no problem,then detract it from the bill.Most did'nt notice. He told me that over the years he had made over 50K on that little belt buckle.

In the early 60's a little old lady went to the ford dealership in our hometown wanting to buy a new truck, none of the salesmen would give her the time of day.
Several hours later she pulled up in front of the local dealership and layed down on the horn of her new truck until one of the salesmen walk out & asked her what she wanted. She said she just wanted them to see her new truck that she had just bought with cash.

Years ago I wandered into the local Ducati dealership to buy a brand new Duke. I must not have looked right as they would not let me even sit on one let alone do a test ride. I went and bought a Landcruiser instead.

50 cents or 50 thousand, all it still makes him is a common thief.
