Sir, i’m an engineer, not an English major.

If I see an ad like this I usually don't bother even attempting to work with them for the reasons you stated.

Here’s my real life story:

I ask myself that fairly often. Was looking at a used Fit Sport yesterday with 5K miles, a year old. The dealer wanted more than the retail on a NEW one. It’s hard to shake an image when most really are just scum.

And, above all else, be willing to walk away from the deal. Last year, my wife and I were buying a new car, and the dealership said they would refund half of the cost of an exorbitant repair they’d done a few months earlier to a different car I’d bought from them. The sales manager literally told me in an email that…

I just assume every single fucking company in the world is lying to me and proceed from there.

A couple of times when I’ve marked through a phrase/clause to refuse it and initial beside the edit I’ve had people grab the contract, declare it broken or worthless, tear it up, and give me a new one with instructions to just sign it and don’t make any changes because it’s not legal to modify the contract, and if…

That level of fine print BS tells you all you need to know. Don’t waste your time with that dealership. They probably have a bunch of other tricks lined up in case you call them out on the first one.

Be suspicious of cheap prices, but dont always disregard.

For the longest time I did not, but I expanded the business and I do operate in Canada depending on the vehicle and the budget. I have an agent that lives in Ontario that knows the system up there.

I’m one of those guys who annoys people trying to get a stack of docs signed because I read everything. Invariably I’ll find something that doesn’t sound right. When I question it my favorite two responses - and the most frequent responses, by a huge margin - are: “Just ignore that because...

“If your not ....”. So they want to charge EXTRA for their crappy grammar?

Hey Tom, do you offer services in Canada? I was talking to another Jalop and they mentioned you did, but I seem to recall that you didn’t

He didn’t say he wanted to kill himself.

Since you are in Chicago, I will tell you that every Italian restaurant is not the same. For instance, where we are going in about 2 hours is fantastic.

I’m an adult I should be able to call him Bob (or Dickhead) if I want. Do you agree?

Best minimum wage job?
