Do we have a deal? It's the only question that matters and the only reason for the sales department at any automobile dealership to be open twelve hours a day, seven days a week. Sell something. Sell anything. Just sell. The competition is fierce between manufacturers, between dealerships and between salespeople. They are all trying to make a living on the back of the consumer. To keep the factories running, dealers have to order cars. For dealers to order cars, salespeople have to sell cars. A lot of things run down hill. Sales pressure is one of them.

Everything that happens in the story is happening every day at dealerships nationwide. It explains why buying a car is an odious experience.
