We price over the phone with different stealerships. We know exactly what we are wanting to buy so it's apples and apples. We tell them to give us the number the check will be written for. They do and when we get there to do the deal they have 100% of the time forgotten to add some fee. We walk 100% of the time and they always wave it. Our rules are pretty simple and straightforward, give us the number we will write the check for as we are not financing. They lie everytime. Oh and Benny in Winston Salem chevy if you're here LOL @you.
I think my dad paid 10k for the sport coupe I have but I'm not sure as I can't ask him. If he did, he paid too much for the car in the shape it's in. He didn't usually get ripped on things as he was a pretty smart guy. Not sure why that figure is in my head and again, it could be off a few thousand In his favor.

I had worked at a Ford dealership many years ago and understood that procedure and said 'OK go ahead'.
Well the bloody dealership was almost 600 miles away. Almost into Canada. When they called and told me the car was prepped and ready and I saw 620+ miles on the clock I said 'You gotta be kidding? This is a used car. Tain't a new car'. I told them 'So if I had bought this car with the normal 8 miles on the clock and brought it back with 600 miles and told you it was a new car and I wanted all my money back, you'd give it all back to me?' The Manager said 'Hell no that is a used car buddy.'
Never went back there they lost a lot of money for that crap, and I've bad mouthed them to anybody who would listen. I know of at least 6 or 7 new car and truck sales they lost because of me so we're even. Buddy. .
