Re: How do you handle disrespect for you & your car?
When I'm not in the mood I just say It's not my car I'm just filling it with gas, I don't know anything about it. If they press I say give me your card I'll pass it along.
If someone's determined to be an ass and I feel like having fun I act hard of hearing and ask them to repeat everything a couple times, and repeat their words back with errors to make them correct me. I try to work up a stutter when I reply.
For someone who seems serious who wants something i don't want to sell, I take what I learned from a friend. He told a man who wanted his motorcycle "You have one chance to make an offer. I'll consider it and say yes or no. I won't make a counter offer. I'll either accept it or reject it, if I reject it it's no longer for sale." That cuts through the BS and ends the lowballing. And he did sell the cycle.
For the "Everything's for sale" guys I say "I need a kidney. How much for your kidney? Want to trade for the car?"
