<VV> Buyers beware - But read anyway - Non-Corvair, but car oriented.

[Sethracer at aol.com]

I hardly ever "sell" cars - I have transferred my car ownership to others,  
but usually because I am pestered into selling a car to someone who really 
wants  it. I have no problem selling some things - usually items which I 
have designed,  built or had built. That is because I can really believe in the 
product. I  can convince myself that the customer really needs it. I would 
have a  problem selling cars for a living because I would have a hard time  
believing that the random buyers that I would meet "really need" that  car - 
that day! There is no shortage of folks who do sell cars, of  course. I ran 
across this article in Edmunds.com a few years ago. It is the  story of a 
writer who, over a 10 week period, trys selling cars at a couple  of 
dealerships, with the intent of writing a story about how the process really  works 
at the dealerships. I am pretty sure I posted it a few years ago, but many  
folks have joined Virtual Vairs since then. Of course, since you own a 
Corvair,  you probably aren't often shopping for new cars, but it is likely that 
someday  you might. I guarantee that you will find out something new about 
the car  business if you read the series. It is an easy read, with some 
eye-opening  revelations. If you have sold cars for the last 10 years at a 
dealership, you  probably already know much of it.

Note to any car salesmen. Yes I know that it isn't all like that. Feel free 
 to comment or send me a note.
