An elderly couple walked into a Mercedes dealership one afternoon, dressed neatly and carrying themselves with quiet confidence.
For nearly an hour, they admired a beautiful luxury car displayed in the center of the showroom. The old man asked questions, checked the interior, examined the engine, and finally nodded with satisfaction.
“This is the one,” he told the salesman. “We just need a little time to arrange the $75,000 asking price.”
The salesman smiled politely. “No problem. I’ll hold it for you.”
But when the elderly couple returned a little later, they stopped in their tracks. The car was being prepared for delivery, and standing beside it was a beautiful, leggy, busty blonde, smiling as she signed the final papers.
The old man marched straight to the salesman.
“I thought you said you would hold that car till we raised the $75,000 asking price,” he said. “Yet I just heard you closed the deal for $65,000 to that lovely young lady there. You insisted there could be no discount on this model.”
The salesman leaned back with a smug grin.
“Well, what can I tell you? She had the ready cash, and just look at her, how could I resist?” replied the grinning salesman.
The elderly woman shook her head in disappointment. The old man looked furious, but before he could say another word, the young blonde walked over with the keys in her hand.
She smiled sweetly at the elderly couple and handed them the keys.
“There you go,” she said. “I told you I could get this joker to drop the price. “See you later, grandpa.” Never mess with the elderly!
