What does it mean when a car salesperson gets a “bump” from you?  It does not mean that that two of you are so excited that you have decided to dance.  Instead, it refers to a point in the car negotiation process, or the verbal dance between you and the dealership.  When a salesperson gets a “bump” from you, he or she has simply gotten you to raise the price you have offered to pay for the car.  Be sure that you really want to give that bump, and do not be pressured into doing so.
