You know, I had the same stunt pulled on me when I purchased my Bimmer earlier this year.

What I don't get is that for the most part, car dealers have a horrible reputation.

I would argue that most people would rather visit the dentist than spend any time dealing with most sales reps. At least you can respect a dentist, they went to med school (or the equivalent thereof).

With that in mind, what I don't understand why the public is giving GM and Chrysler such a hard time about closing dealerships. Wake up people, these small business are the same crooks that try to rip us off when we try to buy a car!

I sure as sh_t don't care about them.

You know, I don't mind if a salesperson tells me, I won't sell the car for less than "x". If I can't afford it, I can walk.

What really kills me is when they make promises over the phone to drag you down to the dealership, and then start reneging on their offer. What the hell is that?

Some salespeople are on the level and others are total crooks. Makes finding a straight talking salesperson a rarity.

Whew! I got that off my chest.

Anyway, good luck with your purchase.
