If you've ever bought a car, especially from a dealership, you know how much of a game it is. The negotiations, the power struggle, the mind games — everything you need to do to make sure you get the best deal and don't get taken advantage of. Nobody wants to get rorted by a sleazy car salesman. This is the idea that's played on in tootoot's car loan commercial, where the buyer is in the power position. tootoot do a great job with this ad, playing on a familiar scenario to show how different it could be if you took out a loan with them when you purchase a vehicle. They show you what it could be like "if you had the upper hand when you went to buy a car". Sure, pretending to talk on the phone might not be your thing, but asking "I don't know — can you?" when prompted by a salesman asking if they could help you, might be. What would it be like if you were 'in the driver's seat', as it were? Watch the ad and see for yourself.
