Hey Rerun,

If you tried to sell that Rav4 to a dealer, an old, cranky, lily white, Canadian to the bone, non-Asian dealer, would he have paid asking price?

I realize the dealer might not offer less than half, but could you at least quantify (in exact terms), what is an "insulting offer"? Could you also admit that what may be insulting to you, might be "just right" for someone else?

If you get insulted by offers and negotiation, I suggest you open a retail outlet in Chinook Mall and stop blaming the Chinese.
