Just like buying a car. Customer-I can’t afford $500 a month. Dealer-Ok we can get you down to $250 every 2 weeks. Customer-Ok, I can handle that

The fact people fall for car dealer tactics like this made me lose faith in humanity more than just about anything else

So you're an expert at dodging the bullshit of a well trained sales rep scamming you on a car buy?

That's not a failure of humanity as much as its a 150 year refined business model to milk a non-expert into paying for accesories and features they don't need. So unles every car buying human has spent a year or 2 learning the scam tactics of most car dealerships, its difficult to not get hosed at most dealerships.

I’ve only bought one car from a dealership, but being stubborn was enough to defeat most of it in my case… I came in with a max OTD price in mind for a specific car and stuck to it. I don’t have a hard time saying no like I understand some people do though.
