@MrsBentoBako From about 15 years ago (before Big Brother was quite as big): Buddy took his high-end Nissan in for work. He was a bit of a gear head and whatever was broken was beyond even his skills. Going to a dealer was a very last resort. Anyway.... While waiting he was of course looking around the showroom. A sales guy chatted him up. After finding out what kid of car he was currently driving the sales guy told him he would give him X dollars for his current car sight-unseen....
@MrsBentoBako As they are writing up the deal the sales guy finally asked him where his car was so they could take it for a quick spin. He told the guy it was over in the service department getting what would likely be 1,000's of dollars worth of work. Too late. The paperwork was already signed. So instead of taking home his fixed car he went home with a new one.
