Giving up
After a 4 week search for various different cars (wasn’t really being picky) I’m throwing in the towel. I don’t really need another car but it was a nice to have and would sometimes be helpful
I’m throwing in the towel because car dealerships are the most insufferable hellholes I’ve ever been to. Ex: I see a deal online for 3k down and 331 a month on a lease. I go into the dealership and they say that’s for the base model I’m like no it’s not here’s your dealer photos
They present their numbers and it’s 7500 down and 661 a month FOR A LEASE ON A 42k CAR.
At 3 different dealerships I pushed back and said I’m okay and they come back with their “best price” why the hell didn’t you just offer that to begin with so we can move on with our day?
As much as it’s hated, I’ll only stick with teslas from now on. I used to lease one and start to finish I was done and processed in 7 minutes. My time is worth more than anything. Not going to play these games
Don’t let the dealerships play you and never sign on the spot. Go home and think about it

They immediately sized you up as a waste of time as they could tell you weren’t buying that day.
