The Fear of Car Shopping

There Should Be A Name...
...for Car Shopping Phobia

Recently our little clan went with my sister to shop(buy) a new car.
My kiddies' auntie is extremely (highlight again...extremely) prepared and nervous.  We think she only slept a couple of hours the night before.

Armed with her stacks of research paperwork, she walked into the dealership boldly and prepared for some high intensity negotiations.
It was fun while it wasn't us who needed to face the eager sales people.

Actually her experience was not bad at all.  She knew the car she wanted, the color, the model, was at that particular dealership.

The sale person didn't make it too difficult and a deal was made fairly quickly. I do dare say that she did sweat a little.

Now fast forward a bit, we are now in a similar state of phobia.  We may be in the market for a more fuel efficient car. What's worst is that this time, we will have to negotiate a trade-in!  Ahhhhhhh...

Edmunds.com and Truecar.com have been most helpful.
But ultimately, we will still have to deal with the "sales force!"
Ahhhhhh...some more

So, who will give a name this phobia...I am open to suggestions.
