Guest EXPAT Posted July 2, 2012 Posted July 2, 2012 I found this today; it was the first ever ad for a car from 1898. $1000 . . . No Agents! Quote
Members TampaYankee Posted July 2, 2012 Members Posted July 2, 2012 Why car salesmen have such a well deserved bad reputation. Cars were first sold, largely, by horse retailers who also sold the carriages. They were the retail 'transportation' market of the time. Of course they had to sell the old and worn out along with the young. Hence the embellishments and lies, and the occasional home remedies that gave new life to old hags, even if short lived. A tradition that has lived on although the techniques have become a bit more refined under modern consumer protection laws. Quote
