When you ask them if they're firm on the price and the salesman tells you that he has to go talk to his manager to see if he can budge on price any, is there any degree of truth to this at all? Do car salesmen really have no authority of their own to actually negotiate and sell a vehicle and can only go through the mysterious manager whom apparently sits at his desk all day negotiating the price of cars without ever even talking to the person they're selling it to?
I'm just wondering if there's any degree of honesty behind the fact that they always have to go "ask their manager" about budging on the price or if is 100% a game with the intent of creating the illusion that there's no room to budge on the price of the vehicle and wearing the customer down to agreeing on whatever price they have set.
