Five Things You Should Not Do if You’re Seriously Trying to Sell Me a Car
1. Dismiss us to the used car lot when I say I’m not interested in the 2008’s, without asking why or trying to qualify us, only have to have us sent BACK to you after the used car manager says he has nothing to show us.
2. Fail to tell us where we’re going when you drive us off the lot for a test drive….. really, really, really far off the lot on small, back-country roads I didn’t know existed in Austin until I think you might actually want to murder us and I finally ask if you’re going to let me drive.
3. When asked if you like working for such-and-such car dealership, hesitate and say “Ummmm….”.
4. Ask us to talk to your manager after you realize we’re not buying a car from you. Bring us inside and stand us in front of a group of senior salesmen who are lined up in a row against a car like a firing squad. Does this work on ANYONE?
5. Fail to get my name and phone number before the test drive and then run after us as we’re leaving to try and get it. Not a shot in hell, friend.

Wow. Where was that? May I suggest Covert in Bastrop? I know it’s a bit of a drive, but most of my family, well the ones that buy American, buy out there.
