I read that and understood, nothing has sailed over my head. You said "that telegraphing to a dealer early that the original orderer doesn't want the car" as in don't do that, I fully understand, but if what he is doing is honorable and fair, why not be up front about it instead of "springing it" on the dealer. I'm sorry, that is just a weak, spineless, horseshit way of doing business. If you can't be straight up, you're doing something wrong. It just doesn't get any clearer than that.

In other words, flat lie!

It's all perfectly legal, and it's not a lie. They just show up to do a transaction just like the husband and wife. No lies are told. Dealer gets the same payment he would have gotten from the orderer.

Keeping one's mouth shut is not lying. Do you share everything with everyone you meet? You're a salesman, so do you share with customers how much you're actually making on every deal? If not, that seems to meet Phil's definition of a "spineless, horseshit way of doing business."

I'm sure they'll file a joint tax return too.

Phil, you don't seem to be very smart. There are no income tax consequences here.

Yeah, I'm the one that's not very smart. Too bad humor was wasted on you.

It's called lying by omission in this case. Do you really figure the dealer and his people are so stupid that they can't figure out what is going on? Maybe!

Not my money and I'm not learning anything new here. I already knew a long time ago that people like you figure it is just fine to lie to the dealer. I've long said my people heard more lies in a week than they told in a year!

I haven't put anything in your mouth. Your post infers that no one will bat an eyelash when 2 guys show up to buy a car...

You must be a riot at parties. I'm guessing you've never heard of tongue-in-cheek.

But what you just wrote is very different from what you accused me of saying. You accused me of endorsing fraud. So STFU.

Ooooohhhhh snap! Get over your self pal. You wrote a "Cryptic" comment. 1000 people are going to read it 1000 different ways. If you don't like the way people comment, don't leave yourself open for interpretation. Make sure you are home between the hours of 3-5pm. I have arranged an Amazon Drone Drop of pacifier's for you...

Am I a riot at party's? You bet! After a couple of beverage's, I break out my ventriloquist act. People ask me "how do you do that?" It's easy. I plant my tongue firmly into the side of my cheek and talk out of the side of my mouth. Oh yeah, I forgot to add a smiley face ...
