Spot on two tone. My mate who used to sell cars said the salesman's worst nightmare was the guy coming in paying cash and thinking that because of this he would be able to get the best deal.

Because the commission for the dealer (and therefore the salesman) is much better when they sell on finance (and because they can shift other products like gap insurance) they can discount the price of new cars way more than if someone is paying cash. It seems completely Irish but it's just how it works now.

Times have changed.

Times may have changed but the practice of using racial stereotypes to infer stupidity it seems persist.

But don't worry, I don't mind because you don't look like a racist.

For a punter it's actually not a bad troll.

Is it possible to be racist against a fictional race/being/creatures? Like vampires for example? ;)

Ask Nigel Farage and watch his head explode.

I'm amazed by this at work, OK so my car is a bit of a PITA from time to time but everyone seems to have a lease car (think bottom of the range, nothing interesting) of some sort and the amount they're all paying is eye-watering. That, and they're limited to quite a piddly mileage. I just don't understand?
