How cool that you wanted to learn more...that makes me believe you're a good employee. Most people would just go to work and come home. The end. That's great.

UM, I've never had a Ford, so I can't help you with that part.

But...I can share car buying experiences:

*I HATE when they don't acknowledge you...especially when you're young. LOTS of people have been working since they were 16 and can afford a car. I remember going to an Acura and an Audi place and was TOTALLY ignored. A salesman walked by, looked at us and kept walking. We could have afforded a car there but were so offended, we went to Honda!

*We went to two dealerships when we got my latest Civic. At BOTH places, our salesperson showed us pictures of his family/life. It was painfully obvious that was a sales tactic. Know that people shop around and will notice that stuff.

*When its a first car, make a big deal about it! My friend's first car was a new Saturn. They took pictures of her...made a big fuss...she...and I...will never forget it.

I think that's it. I LOVE the idea of a non-commission car salesperson. I wish you lots of luck and success!
