Cause I know at 24 (i look young) they won take me serious, until they realize im buying an SI.
Yah that happened to me. I look fairly young too. I went into a dealership and this younger salesman helped me and my sister. We went into his office and no matter how many times we got him to "talk" to his manager, he wouldn't drop the price lower than MSRP.

A week later, I just called every dealership in my area instead of physically going in. I told them I would buy the car that same day if they had what I wanted. I figured if the salesmen could only listen to my voice, they would have a harder time predicting my age. Once I got a certain price I negotiated with other dealerships. Turned out that the lowest price came from the same dealership I first went into.

The orginal salesman was surprised to see me back, only this time actually buying a car and through someone else.
