Had a really interesting experience when I bought my last car. Went shopping at a local dealer and decided on the car I wanted to buy. The sales guy told me they didn't have the color and options I wanted in stock, but, that they had a car coming in 3 days. Three days turned into 3 weeks. The salesman finally called me and told me the car had just come in, and, to come in and finalize the deal. When wife and I arrived at the dealership, the salesguy sheepishly told me that they had already sold the car to some one else. He indicated that if I put down a grand ernest money, he'd try to find me another one equipped the way I wanted. Wife and I just unloaded on him and his manager and walked away.
That same evening, my son hooked me up with a dealer where he lives. Their sales manager asked me about my trade and, in 3 days, obtained the car I wanted. Wife and I drove 3 hours to get to him on a Saturday. When we arrived, he looked over my trade and indicated that he was going to allow more for it . When and was said and done, this dealer beat the local boys by over $5000. Boy, am I glad they pissed me off.
