If you can't easily afford the car I do not think it's worth owning.

As a result, car salesmen will normally try their hardest to get you into the office after a test drive to "talk to the manager" and see what kind of "deal" he can do for you.... They know that if you walk out of the yard, and go home to think about it, you're likely to come to your senses and won't purchase the car.
