Monetary conservation concerns prompted me to trade my mini for an older version of the same vehicle.  In one (almost painless) step, I saved myself nearly $200 a month and several thousand dollars over the life of the loan.

See my fiscal responsibility?  Fear my fiscal responsibility!

The business manager chatted me up as we filled out paperwork.  It took only a few questions to discover that we were both divorced (and thus familiar with putting dollars on the rack ’til they shrieked), had children, and were on mostly pleasant terms with our exes.

“Let me guess,” I said, as he pointed out the places where I was meant to sign.  “Your marriage broke up because you couldn’t come to terms on how best to deal with time, money…and sex, right?”

He looked stunned.  “You guessed it, exactly.  How did you know?”

“Just a lucky guess,” I said, and turned back to signing.

At the end of our interaction, he made a point of encouraging me to call him anytime with questions about the vehicle.  He slowly slid a business card in with the paperwork, holding tight to my eyes as he did so.

Was he offering me only normal car dealership consideration?  Or was he hoping I’d call for some more private conversation?

And…is it wrong to flirt outrageously with the man who is selling you a car?

I think he wants to take you for a test drive!

Giggling!

Let’s just hope that the fact that he sells Mini’s isn’t indicative of any other size issues : )

D

MiniVANS!!!!!!!

*laughs* You mentioned the s-word: he’s wanting private conversations alright.

LOL it is absolutely okay for you to flirt with the car man. It’s still a proven fact that women pay more for cars than men, for absolutely no freakin’ reason other than we lack penises. We need to find a way to level the playing field!

“And…is it wrong to flirt outrageously with the man who is selling you a car?”

Not if he gives you a good deal.

And you’ve crossed another rubicon - you’ve made minivans sexy!

“And…is it wrong to flirt outrageously with the man who is selling you a car?”

No, it is soooo right! ;)
Doing that with the man who moved my furnitures yesterday got me a brand new washing machine for free, flirting is never bad *giggles*

With all due respect to Damian, I can’t imagine a world in which anyone could make a minivan sexy.

That said, a few things comes to mind:

(a) Of course he’s going to share his business card. He’s a used car dealer. They make good money on referrals.

(b) The locking of your eyes while doing it, on the other hand… that’s a smidge more symptomatic of something other than moneylust, methinks.

The $25,000 dollar question is though… is it only his business number on the card, or did he provide a cell/home phone too?

Minivans are hella sexy.

Remove the second row of seats and then fold down the back row. You’re left with a large flat playspace that has numerous tie downs.

:)

He wants to get in ur pants, definitely!

But a car salesman?!? EWWW!

All I can think of is slime.

Whoa, generalize much?

:)

No! It’s just good business sense. Plus, if he was hot…

Hell, No! Flirting is necessary when buying a vehicle.

Not a generalization - every car salesman I’ve ever known could spew a good line of shit and after speaking with them I felt I needed a shower.

Yes, more than just follow-up reasons for the business card, and no harm in the flirting I think…Minivans are SEXY!! Super sexy and LOTS of room when you have the foldaway seating:)

and not ALL salespeople are slimy.

“Minivans are hella sexy…” (snipped juicy details)

I’ll give ya ’sufficiently utilitarian for brain-cell-blowing coitis’ but I’m still not seein’ ’sexy’.

There’s a fine line between what one can do in the vehicle and the vehicle itself. Surreptitious sex on a bus, sitting on the guy’s lap whilst in a long skirt, gyrating subtly so the 85 year old, cigar smelling rider next to you doesn’t notice is pretty damn hot too.

The bus itself? Not so much. :)

You should absolutely call him; he wants you too. You can always test the waters by calling him about something really trivial, and gauging how irritated he is.

If it stops him fucking you on the car then it sounds like a good idea. Even better if you think you might want to fuck him some other way later.

Was I unclear? The flirter was the business manager…not the salesperson.

:)

i would have said the flirtage was de rigeur… but then i flirt with EVERYONE!

nice to see you well :)

The world would be a much greyer place without a little flirting.

Is flirting EVER wrong?

That is so not normal car dealership “help”! I know my car dealerships, and business managers are friendly, but usually not that friendly. Oooh, that is fun though!

Yay for flirting!

Minivans = stealth sexy, I approve. :D

I think flirting is a responsible choice with a car salesman. Rae has it right, I don’t know many people that friendly.

Oh, not the salesman but the business manager…

When it comes to car sales, they are all salesmen. It’s just that the management don’t want to be called salesmen.

You mean that HUGE vehicle is genuinely called a ‘mini’ in your part of the world? Seriously? This is what a mini looks like ;o) http://www.bmw2002.co.uk/images/news/Mini%20Cooper%20D.JPG
