In America, the sales tactics are aggressive and unpleasant so the average person often gets taken advantage of. Pushy salespeople, *needing* to talk to the sales manager in the back while the customer waits, pushing hard for junk fees at financing or for insurance against stains or rust, lying about the guy who was here earlier today and was going to buy the car you are looking at and its the last one we could ever get. My wife and I experienced none of this nonsense when buying a car in Japan, but it is all so typical in America. The sales and marketing tactics in Japan are pleasant and buyer friendly. No one feels abused when they drive off the lot.Andy "In Japan"https://www.blogger.com/profile/04505038501136945817noreply@blogger.com
