'/~shut up and drive..'/~ has anyone ever used a car broker?

Posted by b! (aka starrynut) Feb 10 '09, 21:49

i am excited to be even researching a new car (was only told i could drive again recently, but have yet to - mostly because {{my last car}} is in junkyard heaven); but i would gladly pay a decent fee for someone to just go buy one for me. just looking at the first candidate's site gives me stress.

i'd still test drive, of course; but, after i decided what all i wanted, handing it over would be good.

this'll be my 4th new car purchase. still: ugh.

i don't like the game-playing, stereotypical crapola (which i've had to face, at least in part, each time i've car-shopped in the past - nutso); but i know that can bring a better deal.

ugh.

  - Tell the first guy you don't want to deal with him and get somebody who can make the deal...saves a lot of wasted time... -- nm - BAD Feb 10, 22:11 1

I would, one of the reasons i still buy saturns, keep in mind, there is very little you do that 'earns' as much per hour than outwaiting the salesmen - zeitgeist Feb 10, 21:57 2
- thanks. as i said, though, i've been through it 3 times before (plus helped one of my sisters a few times). - b! Feb 10, 22:05 1
  - Just remember, dealing with that crap for a whole day saved you five thousand dollars, will anything you ever do 'earn' you that much? - zeitgeist Feb 10, 22:13
no but i've broken a few myself -- nm - pigby Feb 10, 21:53 1
