An Apple a Day...

makes the doctor go away but what about car salesmen? I just got off the phone with one. "...And another thing, I'll be sure to let everybody know what an dishonest and shady business you run!" Click. With that, I hung up on the most unscrupulous car dealership in the northeast, Denooyer Chevrolet. I kept it clean though, no swearing, no lawsuits, no ulcers. Their sales team wronged my stepfather this week and that's reason enough for me to blow a gasket. No wonder statistics show people would rather have their teeth pulled than face a mechanic or in this case, a GM salesman. Corruption and scandal on a scale not scene since my Netflix mob pick last week. Toyota's profitable #2 company has the lead in car sales and it's no secret if you visit Denooyer; their negotiating practices border on scare tactics. It's like that scene in the 1939 classic, Wizard of Oz, when Frank Morgan (the wizard) disappears behind the curtain to frighten the hell out of Dorothy. All smoke and mirrors with no real solution. Buyer beware at car dealerships, especially Denooyer - they will mislead and manipulate and it's all up to you to decide for how long.
