buying a merc

briggie · 08-11-2015, 11:38

A middle-aged frumpy couple return to a Mercedes dealership where the salesman has just sold the car they were interested in to a beautiful, leggy, busty blonde.
"I thought you said you would hold that car till we raised the £75,000 asking price," said the man. "Yet I just heard you close the deal for £65, 000 to the lovely young lady there. You insisted there could be no discount on this model."
"Well, what can I tell you? She had the ready cash and, just look at her, how could I resist?" replied the grinning salesman.
Just then the young woman approached the middle-aged couple and gave them the keys.
"There you go," she said. "I told you I would get the prick to reduce it. See you later, dad."

Very good.
You can tell the break has done Pete some good lol.

On the resale front It's now a second owner car

I know it's a joke, but worth thinking about lol.
Now if she had any sense

she would have filled the documents in, in her father's name lol...

Great joke though, which I am sure can be used in true sales negotiations.
Brilliant.
