I had a grand old time when I was negotiating with the sales people at McCarthy Honda. It's so much more relaxing to buy a car when you don't have to worry about a loan.

• When they were trying to lowball me on my trade in, I told them they didn't seem interested in making a deal and stood up. They begged me to sit back down.
• Their opening offer was like $5k. I wanted $11k.
• When he got to $9k, I looked at the sales manager and asked why he wanted to break up my marriage. He was like, "Uh what??" I told him if I accepted. Jessicca would have divorce papers ready when I pulled up.
• I got my $11k.
