This is the man that the manager asked to help you. He looks like a typical salesman, but seems honest enough.

I can make you a deal on that Subaru Legacy.

Roll for BS Detection.

He would definitely spend a point (or more) on this, since it's a big deal (to him), and would probably mean making monthly payments, plus tax/tag/title, and new insurance.

If you still want a roll, I will do that.

OOC:
Reg doesn't have any points in BS Detector. But we can say he has done a lot of research in the library about it? And he knows how much the car should be worth?
Would Reg like to spend a point of Negotiation to haggle that price down and maybe get a special wax coating that lasts for years added on for free?

Reg should have 2 Points in BS Detector - the sheet is showing 0/2. It shows him low on a few of his other things, too, like Preparedness and Stability. I think the screenshot we have is from after a game, where he spent/lost points that I guess would have been regained by now?

He is not sure if he's supposed to haggle, but he may express slight dismay at the price, and turn the conversation towards repairing his current vehicle.

(This thread didn't indicate there was a new post. Weird.)

Reg can tell the guy is jacking the price up. Perhaps if he speaks directly to the general manager to hired him, he could improve the price?

Reg will be super pleasant with the salesman, but regret that he can't make that sort of payment. He will thank him for his time and leave.

Later, when he is wrapping up the project with the general manager:
Quote:
I want to thank you for the offer of a deal on a car. I really appreciate that. I'm sorry I couldn't quite squeeze (X Amount) into my budget, since I've got a house payment now. Keep me in mind if you ever find something for (X minus $100) per month!
And he will play it mostly for laughs, knowing the amount is really low, and obviously not expecting the guy to do anything other than laugh back.

The GM will look at Reg, scratch is chin...

I have a model that was only used around here by one of our managers. He has left, the car only has around 2,000 miles on it.
Would you be interested in it?
The car he shows you has more amenities than the other one. But he will offer it as the price you are wanting.

Reg is surprised and delighted, and will happily take a look at the car. If it's within his budget, they have a deal (especially if it has AC)!

It has AC, CD player AND cassette player built in! Lots of spiffy car stuff, like v8, suspension stuff, etc.
It is within your budget.

Reg has no idea what the car stuff is, but he nods and smiles enthusiastically. He's ready to sign papers and write the check!
Dec 16, 2023 6:52 pm
And he is now the proud owner of a (slightly used) "new" Subaru!

I am going to lock this thread, since it is a complete scene!
Yeah!
