Yeah I immediately noticed the discrepancy, but I had been through so much haggling between 3 different dealers I was exhausted. I was sitting in the car just as I wanted it, everything looked legit about it, so I just broke down and said "**** it" basically. I figured the sales guy made a harmless mistake on assuming the car was truck delivered. Afterall the mileage on it was consistent with it being driven from the other dealership. I also assumed he probably just isnt too familiar with the Z and didnt know what he was talking about when he claimed a certain type of rims came with a stock model. It wouldnt be the first time I knew more about the car than a dealer.
As far as me being an idiot and not knowing what I was buying, well I approached this deal from a different vantage point this time. Rather than browsing the lot and talking about what I wanted, I came in knowing exactly what kind of car I wanted and what I wanted to pay. I basically told them to make it fit however possible. I said I wanted A B C with X Y Z features and nothing else. They gave me what I wanted. I did not expressly request a sports package but I sorta ended up with a quasi version of one since I really wanted the spoiler to compliment the car.
Anyway I'll admit I'm not the most savvy car buyer, but I'm getting better. This is only my 3rd car
Last time I paid sticker price like a goon with no negotiating lol. Oh well live n' learn. I've already expressed outrage for being manipulated at my last dealer and that I will never shop there again. We'll see how the new one treats me.
