Rather than wearing my usual faded jeans, $20 Walmart tennis shoes and old sweatshirt and depending upon righteous indignation in case I didn't receive excellent service when I went to buy my Jaguar F Type at a dealership in a very affluent community I thought it better to dress up a bit.
I put on a pair of nice slacks, good shoes, a new Polo shirt and my Omega Speedmaster watch. I was prepared to write a check for $10k for a deposit and bring a cashiers check for another $110k when the car was delivered. (I had to order it configured the way I wanted it).
I was treated very well from the moment I walked in the door and throughout the entire buying process, They even sent a driver on a 100 mile round trip to pick me up when the car was ready for delivery.
I felt no need to impress a teachable moment upon the dealership by seeing if they judged a book by its cover. It was far better to eliminate any need for some kind of contest.
