Car Shopping Sucks!

We went to look around today and got sucked out of ~3 hours and a host of new dealer tricks.

Trick #1: They were trying to sell us a "new" Jeep Grand Cherokee that had nearly 6,000 miles on it!!! Of course they never bothered to tell us this and then tried to overlook it once we noticed.

Trick #2: As we were sitting at the table, Salesman Dufus asks if we'd like to see/test-drive the car we were discussing. We said sure so he sent Salesman Dufus Jr. to retrieve the car and pull it up. A few minutes later, Dufus Jr. comes up and says to us, "I can't find it - I know we haven't sold it" Then they point out the window and say some other customers are looking at it. "Don't worry though, the first person to make the deal gets the car." At the time there was few others in the dealership so this entire episode was being concocted to get us ready to make the deal. Slime-balls.

We ended up leaving. Annoyed that we lost so many week-end hours talking back and forth with idiots.
