Ah, the old 'dealer' negotiator. I'm guessing they're about as fun to deal with as a used car salesman. Option B seems like the clear choice here.

Option D all the way! Being 'very precise' sounds like the opposite of a weakness to me. I'm going with that one.

Nah, I'd say option C is the issue. Focusing solely on facts and not the people involved is a mistake.

I think being very precise can actually be a strength, not a weakness.
