D00d, car salespeople are not "carguys/gals" because the job doesn't 
require it nor does it reward it.  I take exception to your exception. 
I have had friends who have sold vws after getting tired of selling 
pianos (also expensive) and I have test-driven cars with vw salesfolks 
who were divinity students the week before.  If you want to learn a 
little bit more about how the industry operates, I suggest you read this:

http://www.edmunds.com/advice/buying/articles/42962/article.html

It's long but very insightful.  Quote:

"[edmunds.com] hired Chandler Phillips, a veteran journalist, to go
undercover by working at two new car dealerships in the Los Angeles
area. First, he would work at a high-volume, high-pressure dealership
selling Japanese cars. Then, he'd change over to a smaller car lot that
sold domestic cars at "no haggle" prices.

Read, learn and enjoy."
