Can you all really be this stupid? When you buy a car, do you pay the sticker price? Do you really have no clue as to how negotiations work?

Panhandling is an option
If you're good at it, it beats $200 a week and walking in circles yelling at ladies trying to shop.
This strike is going into May
Seems like VZ is being arrogant with these offers that include date specific clauses. We will take this away ONLY if ratified by May 20 Sounds like something a car dealer salesman tries to pull on you. "This car, this color, this deal only available... — read more
