Those where good points.
In my case it was the first. I did enough research and was very clear on the pricing and product, i improved on my negotiating as i visited 3 showrooms and then when i went to this 4th show room "don't mistake courtesy for friendliness" this happened and i ended up spending $2K more that i should have. He talked to me in a very nice way taking so much care about how i would like and i just gave into it as i was tired that day and already was shopping for the product for a month and just wanted to close the purchase.
