Used Car Salesman

Danny Copeland is back at it again.  I thought it would be fun to mess around with a car salesman... I actually ended up getting a sales-woman who was a good sport.  I didn't really get any closure to this email thread because she apparently passed it along to her sales manager who I know personally so I had to abort...

Danny:

Hello,

I believe I saw a PT Cruiser for sale on your lot today... by any chance would that happen to be a convertible?  It's for my wife. 

Thanks, 

Danny Copeland

          Hi Danny,

Sorry I missed you already at the office. 

The PT is not a convertible.  However, we do have a 2003 Mitsubishi eclipse spyder convertible!  Its priced under 9k.
Do you want to come by and take a test drive?

Rachael, thank you for your help.  As I mentioned before the PT Cruiser was supposed to be for my wife as a birthday gift next week but as of last night we are no longer together.  I won't bore you with the details Rachael but lets just say it was a nasty little fight and there is not a chance in (you know where) that I'll be purchasing her a car.  However, I must say I am slightly intrigued with the notion of zooming around in a hot little convertible sports car especially while I am on the rebound. 

Could you please send me some more information on this vehicle?  I might also be interested in a test drive if the mileage and color are to my liking. 

Regards,
Danny Copeland

Hi Danny,

Well, thank you for the giggle this morning.  Although I am sorry to hear about the outcome I am impressed with how you are carrying yourself so far :)  Love the positive attitude !

So, here you go, a hot little sportscar to make the x's jealous and the future's interested...

2003 model in white with 86k miles.  Leather, keyless entry, power package, v6, bucket seats in the front, and a clean history.

The boss wants retail value at $10,580. 

I discounted it down to $8,980 for you.  I will honor that price, just let me know when or if you are coming by. 

Hey, good luck to you.  I hope you enjoy your newfound freedom. 

Question:  Would buying the car have stopped the fight?

Rachael,
Thank you for your kind words, I believe a pep talk was in order after what I've been through over the past 24 hours.  To answer your question, I don't think buying her the car would have stopped the fight.  Perhaps only a muzzle or a heavy, bat-shaped piece of wood could have ended that nightmare.  She actually broke my DVR last night... MY DVR! Who does that?? I had 6 hours worth of Shark Week on there... I just don't understand women I guess.

I would love to set up a time for a test drive although today may not work out so well since I've spent the last 4 hours chasing a worm down a tequila bottle over at Applebee's and I'm in no shape to drive. How does tomorrow sound? I really like the car but now I'm starting to wonder if I shouldn't upgrade to something a little more nicer? Maybe put a nice little dent in our joint checking account before that witch tries to take it all.  Would that be a possibility? 

Here I go rambling on again about stuff you don't care about.  Sorry Rachael, I know you are just trying to sell cars but it has been nice to vent a little.  Let me know what's a good time to come by tomorrow.

My Best,
Danny Copeland

Then I get this email from the Sales Manager:

Mr. Copeland,

I sent you an email yesterday to let you know that the contact number we had for you was incorrect. In the meantime, actually, I traded last night for a 2005 Chrysler P.T. Cruiser Convertible Day Dreamer GT. The car is a 1 owner vehicle! It has been kept in immaculate shape. If you knew the owner you would understand why! He is very particular about his vehicles. I definitely think this might be the PERFECT VEHICLE that you have been looking for! Please call me when you get a chance to let me go over this car with you! My cell number is ***** and my work number is *******. Please leave a message if I do not answer, and I will be sure to get back with you as soon as i can! I look forward to talking with you!

I guess Rachael didn't want to make the sale : (
