So that tells me he was out to rake you over the coals in the beginning.
. The fact that he took off another $500 on top of beating them...
Why do people always think there are shenanigans going on to beat the customer to death?
I know there may be arrogance going on with some dealerships but there are those who attempt to do right by the customer and to their company existence.
People who sell stuff would like to get as much as they can. People who buy stuff want to spend at least as possible.
That's just humaness. Not a single person here would think differently if they owned a dealership or became a buyer for product.
Things are ever moving at this juncture. Even within a couple of days, a dealership may get notification of an additional rebate or some other incentive to help move product.
Could be that $500 difference may have been absorbed by such.
As a for instance, where some auto dealerships were getting 5 or $6000 over sticker, Mazda was offering a $400 incentive but they were getting just about sticker for their cars.
It has become that dealerships who are not marking up their cars, have become the angels of the industry even when dealing with sticker prices.
that's because as a society, we were used to negotiating prices.
Times change and adaptations of thought process becomes a regularity or else more and more people will be on Prozac or such.
