what is the best way to end a conversation with a stranger?
e.i. when i'm at a dealership and the salesperson turns down my offer, what's the best way to end the conversation so that i can just leave?
one example coule be "Well, thank you for helping me out or Thank you for your time" - are those good enough?
Also, when you meet a stranger at the mall and you guys are having a short conversation, how do you end it? so that you can leave without being rude.(sales associate or someone who is interest in you)

In your car dealership scenario, saying "Thank you for your time" is good enough, or "Thanks for your help", or even "Thanks anyway". You want to acknowledge the time they spent with you. Even though it's their job, there is no reason to be rude (unless he/she was rude to you first)
As far as ending a conversation with a stranger at the mall, you can say something like, "Well, it was nice talking to you but I have an appointment" or something along those lines...
Hope this helps

Perhaps brevity and courtesy are the way to go. I think your example is excellent - "Thank you for your time."
In the other event, I suggest, "Please excuse me, I have someone waiting for me." or something like that - an appointment maybe?

Just say "It's been nice talking to you, but I have to go". You don't owe them any other explanation if they're monopolizing your time.

It's kinda basic, but I always say "Nice to meet you (name), have a nice day." Or if I don't like them, "OKGOODBYE"
