Are you planning to buy a car, ever?

I read this article about 6 months ago in a book, and it has forever changed my impression of how the car-buying process works. There are some car dealers that follow the "no haggle" approach (most web sites that sell cars work this way too). But if you are ever at a "Haggle" type of place, this article tells you exactly what you are up against and how to defeat it:

Confessions of a Car Salesman

It takes about 30 minutes to read the whole thing. If you ever buy a car from a dealer, it can save you thousands of dollars.

Comments:
I had heard that when you are in the salesman's office and he leaves for whatever reason that it may be bugged and he will eavesdrop on you and your partner's conversation. When my wife and I bought a VW years ago we crafted our conversation to see if he came back with any clues to having listened in. Indeed, he did. He plainly knew everything we had "discussed" in his absence.
 
It often happens on jap-crap dealerships (read Toyota). Thanks for the link, Marshall. I was very helpfull. I'm going for an american car next year.
