You know, that first of all video games where it simulated an across the screen game of either tennis or ping pong? Well, thus is my mind-set; wasn't there some TV routine maybe SNL or Monty Python that leapt to the: On a Totally Different Topic?
Why is that when buying a new car, the script hasn't changed in at least 20 years?
Yesterday I went to a Volvo dealership that I had actually contacted via the internet. Now, one would think that in this day in age, that with the advent of said internet and with the advancement of televised entertainment, that said dealer would contemplate the relative intelligence of the customer.
However, no. There was the whole "Let me go talk to my finance manager" spiel not once, but twice. This after I've told them I don't want to discuss buying right now, that I would willingly fill out the credit applications, knowing my checkered credit history and knowing full well that I'll need either a co-signor or a large cash down payment, yet none the less, we go through this charade.
Soured me once again on that whole process. However, as we know, Los Angeles is all about the car culture so I have to go through with this.
ARGH!!
I've done the whole on-line purchasing of a car - 6 years ago to be exact. And I have to be honest, that experience was amazing. I used CarsDirect.com and would do so again if financing weren't an issue.
Having read the above I realize that the only issues involved are self-imposed and I need to stop with the self-imposed fear.
Oh wait, where's my copy of The Secret???? :)
