So I go over to the other dealership (both cars are identical) (another 55 miles), and go through the whole test drive, etc... I then pull out the papers from USAA, and the written quote that the other dealership gave me. The sales manager wasn't too happy. As it stood with the other car, it was 16,984 out the door, in addition to my trade in. They responded back saying that they wanted 18250 and my trade in. I then explained I would take to car off the lot today for 17,500 , and kindly explained (as they saw), that an identical car was sitting 50 miles away for $1216.00 less, and that car additionaly had illumanated kick plates. I explained that I was willing to pay the extra 500 to them because I would prefer to have my first choice color, however, anything over that price, and it was just not worth it. They came back with 17989, and that was "their final offer". I spoke personally to the sales manager, and explained to him my reservation, and which point he stated to me that he could go down to 17750, and after that, he would have to explain to the owner why he let a car go for so cheap. I told him 17500 was my budget, and if he chose to accept it, I would have the cash in his hand by the end of the day. He was stuck on 17750, and I told him if he wasn't willing to come down $250.00, there would be no sale. I kindly excused myself, and left the dealership. I have no idea if they will call me back, probably not, but it kinda erks me that they wouldnt go down 250 to make a sale. That to me shows that a dealer would not want to work with you down the road if something where to occur. Am I just being stupid? Another night, without a Z!
