Given the choice, I always want to do right by my kids, no matter how long ago I taught them. I smiled at the sales guy and my former student and tried to talk them down. Not a chance, I was told. So I stood up, thanked them, and said I needed to go crunch some numbers to see if I could work the new price into my budget. I promised to give them a call in a couple of hours. As I prepared to pull out of the driveway at the Nissan dealership, I hit redial on my cell phone. the sales guy I’ve been dealing with that the Chevy dealer had called me at 9:00 that morning, making one last push to sell me that Malibu. Now, at 10:30, I was calling him to tell him that I would be at his dealership in 15 minutes, ready to do the deal on the Malibu. I absolutely love that car for the 4 years I owned it, until I was rear-ended (while I was at a dead stop) by a pickup truck at a stoplight and shoved into the pickup truck in front of me. I bought another one from the same sales guy at the same dealership. I fully anticipate buying my next one from him, whatever that might be. I’ve also sent five friends to him who have bought cars from him.
