One time (when I was not working as a salesman) I sold a Chevy Monte Carlo to a fellow. We got down to $20 apart on the price. He knew he was going to buy it and I knew I was going to sell it, we just had fun arguing over $20. My wife kicked me on the ankle and said, "Sell the dammed thing and get it over with".
Another time I bought a pickup from a large Pontiac/GMC dealer. I drove the salesman nuts. We got down to $5.00 apart on the price. I don't recall the actual price I bought it for, but it ended in $2.50 because we split the $5.00. I thought my wife was going to kill me.
My wife doesn't haggle. She makes an offer, take it or leave it. One time in the mid '80's she bought a GMC K5 Blazer. One of her brothers was with her, and told me the story afterwards. The dealer had the Blazer priced at $5995. My wife offered them $5300. The salesman went through the usual drill of talking to the Sales Manager. He came back and told my wife, "The Sales Manager says we can let you have that vehicle for $5700.
My wife told him, "You didn't understand me. I said I'd give you $5300 for it". By the time she left, she'd bought it for $5300.

Today's Featured Article - Listening to Your Tractor - by Curtis Von Fange. Years ago there was a TV show about a talking car. Unless you are from another planet, physically or otherwise, I don’t think our internal combustion buddies will talk and tell us their problems. But, on the other hand, there is a secret language that our mechanical companions readily do speak. It is an interesting form of communication that involves all the senses of the listener. In this series we are going to investigate and learn the basic rudimentary skills of understanding this lingo.
