No one gets a good deal from a car salesman. Even when I sold cars to friends at what I thought were rock-bottom prices, there was still profit for the dealership built in. Being friendly is a sales technique. Period. It lowers barriers and fosters acceptance. If you believe the salesman is your friend, you're more likely to believe that he has your best interests at heart. Newsflash: he doesn't.

They didn't attempt to swindle me just because I'm a woman. They were very fair in their pricing and were willing to show me several of their stock. I didn't end up purchasing from them, but I'd be willing to come shop here again for my next car in the future.
