I actually used to be a car salesman. (not any more bc of the stupid stuff they make you do and how bad the managers make you look so they can look like the good guy)
But it was almost mandatory at one dealership I worked at to ask questions like that to sort of build a rapport. Dont always hate on the sales guy unless he's one of those cornball stereotype sales guys. I was very down to earth and actually tried to get my customers good prices bc I knew what it was like to be on the other side of the table. After a few months I realized I couldn't be "one of those" sales guys who look to take every dollar from you by open promises. So I left on good terms which was a good move bc now I do what I love in a great place.
