Another favourite. Once the salesman has been and gone, and despite his best efforts you haven’t signed on the dotted line you can expect EVEN MORE DISCOUNT!

Because in spite of the ‘on the day’ discount supposedly being the best possible, there is usually more to come. They will use letter, text or call (or all three!) to offer yet more money off, again using a spurious ‘reason’ for the new and improved deal. They have to keep inventing new discount schemes because they can’t simply admit they will try for as much money as possible and keep dropping it until either you give in or until they won’t make any money on the deal.

This call or letter might come from the manager to give it more credence, but the message is always the same. Money off but only if you sign before some arbitrary date. Don’t be taken in.
