There needs to be more consumer protections in that regard, maybe I will call my state reps Monday and drop them a hint.Easiest way I've found is to just get the money/financing secured in advance, put on a printed spread sheet what car you want, what you will pay, and your phone number and then just leave. A buddy of mine took this advice on a new pickup and it took 3 months, but someone finally called desperate to make the sale and griped as they gave him the deal he wanted. On used cars it is harder because of the rarities depending on what you want. In those cases, see what they have and just e-mail the offer to the sales manager. When he calls, stick to your deal and ask them to send it in writing if they agree to the deal. That way you don't waste the gas driving in to deal with games like you were subjected to. If you don't NEED the car, you are the boss.</blockquote>
