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

[Sethracer at aol.com]

I hardly ever sell cars - I have transferred my 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 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.
