[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Be wealthy. My father happens to be very wealthy and gets horrible treatment when buying a car, and was asked for id on his own beach. It's friggin private. He just does what he wants quietly though but it is embarrassing. He now lives in Thailand and in an apartment in Germany. He is treated with utmost respect everywhere else in the world but in the US. Oh, he had to buy another car because someone hated him for driving a luxury vehicle and put a contaminant in his gas tank. It was investigated and the cops said he should know better than to drive a car that nice. You work hard to retire early at 57 and this is what you get in America as a black man.

Wow, you just brought up a memory that I think I tried to block out. I went to a dealership in VA earlier this year to purchase a car with cash. The car was 22k and I made it clear that it was an all cash transaction. Along the way subtle assumptions kept being made by the Finance lady that I was somehow financing the car through my credit union or some other means, because surely by "cash" I did not mean my own.

They even ran my credit without my permission. Why would a credit check need to be done on a cash--yes, my cash, transaction??[/quote]
To be fair, this same stuff happens to white people buying $75k cars. Car dealerships are fun for no one. [/quote]
