I needed to buy a car to carry computers and had real problems convincing the salesman that I was the person who would be using it, not the lacky choosing it for a boss man!! Give me strength!!

I remember choosing a 2nd hand car and taking my spouse along to give it the once over before I paid for it. The salesman kept asking how it was to be paid for and my husband kept deferring to me telling him it was my selection, my purchase, my car. When we came to form filling he looked at MyMan and asked what name should the registration doc be made out to .. I nearly leapt across the desk to handbag him..

I'm relieved to hear you're fine. You made me chuckle! Guess you've to have a follow-up appointment? Good luck. (I was fine - post baby probs, nothing to worry about).<BR/><BR/>It's a conspiracy Crystal. Talking straight is too difficult a concept for some sales people. If gardening doesn't work out I may move into second-hand vehicle sales. Maybe...!merry weatherhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15790847146645006254noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4529864956472331094.post-68686221951274716032008-07-18T14:37:00.000+01:002008-07-18T14:37:00.000+01:00Good on you for showing that van sales man that yo...Good on you for showing that van sales man that you're no pushover.
