Dear Mr Car Salesman...

• no, I don't want finance - so we sit down and he puts finance down as an option
• no, I don't' want a new car - if you haven't got a used one, working up a price for a new one isn't going to mean I'll buy a new one
• no, my budget is $12k, what are you doing showing me a car for $19k?
• no, I don't care that you have 1/2/3 kids and are married/single/ gay, you are not my best friend after 5 minutes and it won't help you sell a car to me
• no, she's in pink, she is NOT a boy
• noooo, I want a car with power windows, remote starter and aircon, bringing me the base model will not win you any friends
• yes, I am a woman and will not be swayed by colour
• yes, I know you need to sell the car more than I need to buy it off you, be prepared to bargain.

Ready?
