For those girls in the UK you missed quite a deal for a Lotus Esprit.

Sandi,

So, to get a great deal on a used car, go to some guy you know who has a prized second vehicle while en femme. Get your picture taken with him, without compromizing your morals, just his, of course. Go en homme to the wifey with the picture and then, sit back and watch e-bay?

Dang! That sounds easier than some negotiations I've had to go through at the auto dealership! And, I'll feel less violated by the whole process when it's over!

Thanks for the idea!

Sincerely Yours,

Kari

I felt obligated to put an addendum, here:

I am sure that there are wonderful people out there, maybe even in this community, who are nice, honest carsalesmen/women and dealers. I just haven't been lucky in my own dealings over the years with this industry.

Sincerely Yours,

Kari

P.S.: never go to Carmax online... Looong story...
