Well, no new truck for me. I went to the bank, got a bank draft for what i was willing to pay, and agreed that we would throw the 4Runner into the pot.
And we ended at an $840 impasse.
The salesman didn’t even think to bring up the $500 deposit we’d put down and ask to meet halfway…so we didn’t bring it up either and we walked..after asking for it back…. Duh, even that didn’t twig him.
I told him there was a newer one in Cranbrook, with lower mileage, more warranty left, and they would fly me to Cranbrook to pick up up at their expense…and asked why I should pay more for less on this one.
He couldn’t come up with a good answer so I picked up the bank draft and we left.
Nit, if he’d pushed me I’d have come up $500 if they threw in rock rails which would cost them about $150 to give me.
So close….but oh well… it pays to not get emotionally involved with something you are interested in buying or you might as well just pay the sticker price and be done with it.
And so it goes…..
