Nice to hear. I think you just figured out how to play the game. Personally, I love it!

So, he pulls out the original paperwork, with the original agreed price and says that he will stick to that price. He was hoping that I would cover the cost to offset the additional equipment on the truck, but a deal is a deal.

I'm thinking about it at this point and ask what he will give me for a trade in on my Jeep Liberty.

He comes in with a trade ~$2k higher than I expected.

So, we did the paperwork and I drove it off the lot. Two whole miles on the odo as I turn on the main street from the dealership.

I still maintain that dealerships are a waste and we should be able to buy cars off of the Internet like books, etc.

I agree

Everyone has a right and a need to earn a living, but the markups are rediculous, and a deal is a deal, especially in writing
This bait and switch crap is what's given stealerships a bad name over the years.

You had him by the balls and he knew it.
Tried to play the sympathy card and lost
You did the right thing!

Congratulations on standing your ground
