What a terrible thread to read before heading to bed. Now I'm just pissed off for you guys lol. The one thing I hate is having my time wasted and it sounds like theres a bunch of crap dealerships out there doing that. I swear the car buying process has got to be one of the most painful things to endure. Not sure any other big purchase is this painful. I just bought my car last month and it took up so much time and research and running around.
I ran into some dealers that refused a test drive until I did some paper work and credit check. Willowbrook Ford in IL told me that not buying the car that day was me making a 2,000 mistake since my current car could go out on me at anytime, (despite me telling him its never given me a single problem and has had every factory maint. done) oh and that if I walked away I wouldn't be able to find another one.
