Been there, done that... I find that you can always find another
dealer who'll meet the deal! The fact that one dealer is *stupid* is
not surprising, since most are.
Remember, car salesmen are rated just above lawyers for ethics, IIRC!
I dumped my local Dodge/Jeep dealer a year ago. Why? They putzed up a
warranty repair that required they order parts. Then they forgot to
order parts, and when I reminded them, it was "Oh, your warranty has
expired, too bad..."
My response was to agree with that, it was "too bad". Then I left,
have not been back since.
One day a month or so ago, some *IDIOT* from the dealer****p was stupid
enough to call me! Did I ever tell him why I wasn't back to look at
new trucks! Then I suggested that he'd best take my name off their
phone-spam list, as I'd probably not be nearly as nice <g> as I was
with him...
