Test drive experiences today

Some dealerships are like that. The one where i bought my EvoX didnt have any GSR's but they let me take a MR out for a drive, no questions asked. Told them i defently wanted a Evo but not a MR. Did the deal and found out they were getting my GSR from another dealership in the city. So i got the VIN and went to look at the car at the other dealership. Asked to test drive it before i sign off on the dotted line (seeing as how i never driven a GSR at this point and i wanna make sure its what i want) They said no, unless i put down a $1000 non-refundable deposit. I laughed in their face and said "you expect me to give you $1000 to test drive a car that will be mine in 3 days?"

Then he tried to tell me "oh you will love this car, we have Rota rims on there a boost controller and turned the boost up to 45psi" I laughed and asked for the paperwork for the work done to it and he asked why. I said "because when a rod goes flying through the block, i want a brand new engine and you guys will be paying for it" He claims it was safe, blah blah blah. I asked to look under the hood and he said no! Like WTF? seriously? I left and found a different sales guy and asked for the keys to the car and he gave them to me...nothing done to the car.

All that being said. I went from a Cobalt SS/SC - 370z - SRT-10 Ram - EvoX....if i could have done it all over i would have went from the Cobalt to the EvoX.

Thats exactly what i did with a Dodge dealership. When i was looking at trading my 370z in for the SRT-10 i went to a dealership and test drove one. There was a issue with the brakes and a few other minor little things. I asked the dealer to knock off $5000. They said no. So i said ill think about it and left. A day later the dealership calls me and said they will lower it $2000. I told them no, i want 5000 lower. They replied "well we have a guy interested in it and he isnt asking for a lower price, only reason im trying to get you in it, is because you are in the military and we support our troops." I said "well thanks for that, but let the other guy have it." 2 weeks later i found another SRT-10 at another dealership, bought it and went back to the first dealership to grab something (cant remember what) talked to the sales guy and said "yea i got a different srt-10, lower km's, lower price and nothing wrong with it" He just walked away right pissed off. Funny thing is that SRT-10 on their lot was there for 6 more months.
