About the Book

When I was about 19 years old, I walked into a dealership and asked: How much for this car? The salesperson told me the price and I said I was pretty green when it came to negotiating for a vehicle. Then, a number of years later, when I was just starting to sell cars, one of my first customers was a factory worker. How much for this car? I told him the price and like me, he said I’ll see if I can knock off a few hundered for you. He was very happy. went to the sales manager and presented the customer’s deal with the few hundred off to which he replied,– sniffing a ‘lay down’ buyer. ‘OK,’ he added. But get him to sign over to us this $500 customer appreciation incentive from the manufacturer. A customer appreciation bonus is supposed to go directly to the customer. It was then I knew that I was eventually going to write this book, to help those like my prior self – an unknowledgeable customer, get a fair deal.

The public, through various means and ways, is getting educated slowly but surely, however this book is a one stop encyclopedia for today’s consumer to turn to for every topic one could think of. The information contained in this book saves the consumer both time and money.

Richard concludes saying: “After reading this book, you will be confident in having acquired the knowledge and the negotiating skills to achieving your goal – getting a fair deal.”
