Default Re: Negotiating for a Honda Fit

Maybe it's just me. Maybe for everybody else it would be different.

For me, they would act like they don't know what I'm talking about. Then,
I would go to the next dealer, and they would act like they don't know what
I'm talking about.
etc.
etc.

Carsdirect, I guess.

Or, I suppose, I could mumble something about Carsdirect.com just
before I turn
and head out the door.
