A2: My manager said for today only, we can do it with 3
A3: I don't have the 60w bulb here, but I can get it for you from another dealer.
A4: Did you think about leasing the bulb? You can use it for the next 3 years, then just bring it back.

I was, too. I worked for Chrysler and MINI before I got back into a technical position, and now I'm doing technical sales. It is healthy to not take yourself too seriously and to have a laugh once in awhile.

I sold cars for awhile too. I didn't like it at all. Mostly I hated the hours. And customers. And having to wear a tie everyday. And dealing with pompous finance managers.

Q: What’s the difference between a Range Rover and a hedgehog?

If you do not like your customers you probably should consider another line of work (and it sounds ilke you did). You don't have to like ALL of them, but the majority. The ones you do not like, hopefully you are professional enough not to let them know and not let it interfere with your job.

The hours can be long. I used to work 6 days a week, sometimes 10 or more hours a day (I did a couple month stint as a Finance Manager and I was always the last to leave, along with the General Manager or Sales Manager).

I enjoyed talking to people, and sometimes even enjoyed playing along with the customer's games in trying to get a good deal (my game was to make them think they were getting a good deal, and I really believed it myself, even if they paid MSRP, especially for MINIs). I disliked but accepted the grinders (those that said they would not pay any silly fees and expected $1,000s off the price). And one good thing is that I learned a lot from them. When and how to get a good deal on a car, when to accept that the market forces are against you, etc.

If you are in car sales you should try to work for MINI. It is one of the best experiences I have had as a customer and as a salesperson! No ties, no high pressure sales tactics, free drinks and snacks, big screen tv in the lounge area, clothing you would actually consider wearing, and fun cars!

If I had the opportunity get back into the car industry, say as a part owner of a dealership, I would seriously consider it. People can have fun buying and selling cars, and you can make serious money if you do it right and take good care of your customers (but without bending over and submitting to your customer's every whim and request). The product has to be good, you have to believe in what you are selling. I'd probably only consider a European or Japanese brand of cars.
