So I went over in my old 25+ year old Laguna. The dealer turned out to be a huge operation, with over a thousand cars on site and people milling to and fro. The stereotype about used car salesmen.... well, my experience of this tallied perfectly with it. Their loud banter and slapping each other's back while telling me how they're going to be really good and give you this or that as a favour because we like you and did you really drive here in that or did you bring it on a recovery truck? Wah, hah hah etc. I found the whole thing terrifying and I suspect that is the entire purpose of the show, to overwhelm you so your critical capacity goes away.
It was the car I wanted and, thus far, there seems to be nothing wrong with it, but...
That was a strange experience.
