    I sort of agree. How is you looking dumb going to get a better deal? Don't get the logic...

    You can (as you see fit) slowly intorduce him to the idea you actually know your stuff. He (or she) will be put on the back foot, and you will either get honesty or a big deep hole will be dug, plenty deep enough for you to reach the conclusion this car is not for you.

    At the end of the day you are just playing mind games. :D

    I'd agree with the "Don't let them know how much you know" school of though, not in the sense that you want to catch the salesperson out, but that you'll be able to spot if they're bulling you or not.

    I'm very conscious of not making up answers when dealing with customers, if they catch you being flexible with the truth in one aspect, it's likely to damage your credibility in all other aspects.

    yeah, good point.

    I guess if you play dumb and ask questions you know the answer to then you'll know if they are being honest.
