...that might be slightly tilted, actually, since I only meet them if they make it past the salesmen.

I refer to the 'Filter Effect' when speaking about salesmen with other managers sometimes. What I mean is that if a customer actually buys a car from some of theses guys, then they have to be somewhat trusting or gullible. Some of the better salesmen have a zero filter rating....meaning....they can deal with just about anyone and sell them a car if they're buying.
