Grateful for funny car-sales techniques

Washing the car

With the new baby coming soon, we’ll need a bigger car. But first we had to sell our old car.

This is how my husband sells a car (advertised for $7,900).

Buyer: ‘I can offer you $7,700.’

Seller: ‘No, I’m happy with $7,500.’

Buyer: ‘Deal!’ (Followed by the quickest handshake you’d ever see.)

We may have lost $200, but it’s given us something to laugh about and I’m grateful for that. It puts a smile on my face every time I remember about it.

What are you grateful for this week?

      I hadn’t thought about the buyer, but yes, he’s probably still laughing, too. Thanks for the Twitter share!

    Such a funny story. In fact it’s probably the funniest sell story I have ever heard. Thank you for the laugh.

    That’s so funny! I wonder what your husband was thinking! $200 doesn’t compare to something as priceless as that.

      I think he was expecting a much lower offer and the line he had prepared came out of his mouth too quickly ;)

    LOL! Oh, that is fabulous, Tat! Actually, it’s probably something I would do. I’m the worst when it comes to negotiating! :)
    Love the photo too!
