Negotiation 101

A middle-aged couple return to a luxury car dealership where the salesman has just sold the car they were interested in to a beautiful, leggy, busty blonde.

“I thought you said you would hold that car till we raised the $75,000 asking price,” said the man. “Yet I just heard you close the deal for $65, 000 to the lovely young lady there. You insisted there could be no discount on this model.”

“Well, what can I tell you? She had the ready cash and, just look at her, how could I resist?” replied the grinning salesman.

Just then the young woman approached the middle-aged couple and gave them the keys.

“There you go,” she said. “I told you I would get him to discount it. See you later, Dad.”
