No,
You blurted it out in hopes to get a discount.

It didnt work and they looked down on you as you dont have a steady income.
That is what they looked at.

Not once have I ever blurted out what I do for a living.
I get the out the door price and go from there.

How to buy a car

How much is the car?

When they start asking me about trade in etc I look at them and ask "How much for the car" Originally Posted by Gotyour6

No I have three Ford trucks with between 250K and 290K. No problems with any of them and they all look like new. I am thinking about getting all of them replaced this year, while the price is new and we can write them all off under section 179. I have found that Ford trucks give the best service, at least for us.

If anyone is interested we have one left over Dodge 1 ton with a flatbed and about 389,000 miles the last time I looked. The problem with Dodge is that they all seem to need to replace part of the Air Conditioner at about 60,000 miles, which we did on this one.
