I don't like car salesmen generally but I also respect their time somewhat, so we were going to have the first dealer do a dealer-to-dealer transfer, but the guy's communication skills were bad and he was pegging my detector with various stuff to get us into some car they had on their lot.

For example, "0% could end any time." Uh, no, it says 8/3 right on Toyota's web site.

Also they had a demo with 3000 miles and scratches in the leather seats at a "great price, I cannot go one dollar below that" of approximately $200 less than the Internet Price of similar cars on Autotrader.

And when my wife emailed him to ask a question, it looked like autocomplete nonsense and didn't answer her question. As best as I could determine, they wanted us to come in and put down $500 so they would start looking for a suitable car.

So I hopped on Autotrader, found exactly what she wanted at a different dealer on the South side whose "internet price" was actually quite good to begin with and we just bought it from them. Damn, I love the Internet sometimes.
