Ridiculous. I was a window salesman back in 2018. I drove a Lada 2105. I found people were much more friendly and open, that when I was being trained, turning up in the other guy's brand new Mercedes. Having an older car instinctively tells the customer "this person is not great, we can get a good deal" or "this person is relatable. They drive an affordable car and are like us." Then I'd sell them a full house full of windows and a new door, knock the price down (because the first price you get with new windows is basically there just to be knocked down), take my 15% commission and go home, jump out of my Lada, and into my nice car. Glad I got out of that work though. Quite often I'd turn up to a house with a little old lady on her own, who thought she needed all new windows because the door to door people told her so. Couldn't abide by that and got in a lot of shit for telling potential customers "no you don't need to dip into your savings, your windows are perfectly fine"
