> Got a question for Car Talk’s car sales informant, “Deep Plaid?” (Also known as “Frank,” since, well, that’s his real name.) Post it here, and Deep Plaid will get back to you. Also, if you’ve heard of other tricks of the trade, or you’ve personally experienced coy tactics on the part of your local car salesman, share it right here. We’d like to hear your story. Yours in careful maneuvering when confronted with plaid, toupees and sans-a-belt slacks, Tom and Ray
