In this anecdote one person negotiated by phone and fax with several dealerships to get the absolute lowest price on a Porsche and got one just a few hundred above invoice. Another person went to only one dealership and negotiated a price on a Mercedes not much lower than the sticker price.

The person who was shown to be the sensible one was the one who haphazardly negotiated for the Mercedes. Though he hadn’t driven as hard a bargain, he bought used instead of new and got a model with a diesel engine for higher fuel efficiency.

The sensible thing would have been to buy a Volvo or a Lexus.

And the diesel Mercedes was a piece of crap.
