You need to show him that next time you won't be so generous. Teach those snakes to be open to bargaining again, or they'll only continue to raise prices year after year. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] SaveTheTuaHawk@lemmy.ca 2 points 3 weeks ago (1 child) You are naive if you think a dealer ever loses on a car sale.
