Remembering Mary of Peter, Paul & Mary fame singing "Take me for a ride in your car car". - A winning memory

I have returned from war. The first one I'm not sure what went wrong, but when the guy gave a price a straight up told him I'm not paying that for a car about to 100,000 miles plus is one I'm going to have to take straight to the shop if I buy it (it needed an alignment, new wheel bearings, and the alternator and serpentine belt were really squeaky and noisy). He would only go down a couple a hundred, but he was shaking and trembling so hard I'm surprised we didn't have an earthquake. So, they got no sale.
The next guy did work with me, taking almost 3 grand off the car. So, now I own a foresty/piney green 2012 Scion Xd. Though I MUST flip the logo around so I drive a "dX" instead.

The first one thought you were an easy mark. You weren't. That's winning.

I took his trembling as a sign he knew I wouldn't be easy (perhaps maybe even his first customer who has ever actually listened to the engine and searching for things). My "Machy senses" where also going off like a carpet bombing, because I knew there was something going on with such a reluctance to go down in price when I clearly had such a strong claim to "**** on your full price."
But, alas, I was unable to shake down the first one. Maybe after I've gained a few more levels and put bonus attribute points into my charisma skill. :p

Not "my" car, but a picture of my car (it's rainy today so no pictures):

And it felt SOOOOO good being able to get around town in minutes instead of hours.
