I HATE it when it's 5 or 6 salesmen, managers, and/or other ppl in other offices versus you. Esp versus you and the wife. They use psychology to pit you against her. Or marathon tactics --- until you buy a frickin' car just to get out of the dealership.A friend owns a 997 Carrera S. He recently went to a Ford dealer to look at the new Mustang GT350. They took his Porsche keys, as collateral, when he test drove the Mustang.
When he asked for his keys back, they tell him, "Oh so-&-so has it." "No wait, the district supervisor has it." Or some such BS. He spent 2 hours going from office to office to find his keys. Each time... a new person... a new sales pitch. After 6 or 7 of these pitches, someone told him a girl behind the SERVICE COUNTER had it.
"Oh, we kept it with all the other cars being serviced."
He will never buy a Ford product.
