It's easy to beat up on salesmen; some are guys who really don't have the right personality. Some do. But it's uncool to just smack them down, they are trying to do a job and while it's a job most people look down on for some reason, that's no way to treat somebody.
For example, when I was talking about trading in my '07 Sol GXP, I was told 'well, you see, they don't make them anymore and Pontiac is gone...' as in 'well here's why we'll low-ball you.'
All you have to do is be prepared. I asked him what would happen if I was trading in a 2005 Corvette. He asked me why I asked that. I told him "Well you see, GM doesn't make 2005 Corvettes anymore either, so what's your point about my Pontiac? It's a GM vehicle just like the Corvette and GM is still in business. The parts books are in your service bay"
We weren't confrontational or angry about it. It's a game.
