Was your trip at all like the movies portray the war in Vietnam?

Two quick questions (one has a little back story):

1. My Econ professor (who was once a car salesman) told me that when there was something wrong with a car, he was trained to make it seem like a selling point. His example was that there was a car with chips in the front bumper and he told the girl buying it that it meant the car had mainly highway miles from pieces of the road flying up and scratching the car. Is this a common technique, or was my prof just an asshole?

2. What is the easiest way to call out a salesman on his/her bullshit that lets them know you aren't going to fall for any of their scamming techniques?

Thanks for your time!
