Cant you just say thanks, we need to go home and think about it/talk it over?
They arent going to tie you to a chair and force you to buy it.

I was thinking about what I was going to tell the salesman regarding why I wasn't going to buy the car. All of the sudden it hit me. Have Melissa bitch me out for liking it.

We pulled into the car lot after the test drive and she got out. She started ranting about "you know I fvcking HATE black cars" "it's not a stick" "it rides too rough". We had this five minute argument with each other. I acted like I was defending the car, "I'm the one that's going to be driving it, you won't even drive it that much." She responded, "YOU'RE RIGHT, I won't drive it because you aren't FVCKING buying it." Finally she was like, "****** YOU," and went and got in the car. The salesman was like, "I take it it didn't go to well." I ranted about how fragging unreasonable she was for a couple of minutes. About then, she rolls the window down and yells..."HELLO? LETS GO." I told her to "shut up...gimme a minute," and rolled my eyes. I thanked the salesman for his time and left. He didn't seem to care that he didn't get to talk to me about financing issues.

We high-fived once we got out of sight of the car lot. :D
That's hot :laugh: She sounds like my gf with that mouth....:D

Make sure to bring your SO back when you start negotiations for the car. Maybe a short fused female will be the just the edge you need to walk out with a great deal. ;)

That's awesome :)

Bonus points if the salesman looked at your ring finger, winked, and said, "Living in sin, eh?"
