My brother said, "Yes. I want to buy this automobile. How much is it?"

The salesman replied, "It is really expensive, and the upkeep is quite
high, too. But we have some really clean one owner used car out on the
lot. I would be happy to show them to you."


Most of the fastest sales I've ever closed are the ones where the first
question the prospect asks is, "how much?"
