Edmunds hired a guy to become an undercover car salesman and write about his experience in order to give people a behind-the-scenes look at the mystery of car sales. He called his article, confessions of a car salesman.

I didn’t read every word (he can be a long-winded undercover car salesman at times) but it was still extremely educational. The next time I buy a car, I plan to use the knowledge I gained from this article to get a better deal. I like having a better understanding of what really goes on when they go off to talk to their manager and leave you drumming your fingers on the desk.
