[QUOTE="Stella Johnson, post: 33852, member: 9"] JoG, I do walk in with confidence. I just have 0 patience for the crap they pull. SO lets me do all the negotiating. I negotiated his car, his trade in ,and mine last night. His father is a great negotiator but he hates to ask him. He would likely walk in and pay sticker if he was alone. [img]:hammer:[/img] Kathy, I'm not a member of a wholesale club. I used to be just got tired of paying for the membership since I hardly ever shopped there. With just me and difficult child we can't really use a super size can of green beans or 20lbs of pot roast. When I was married and had ex's other two kids it was great though. Daisylover, I was shocked. The jerk at the first dealership never called. Oh well, his loss. Stepmom, There aren't any carmax dealers close to me. Most are on the other side of the metroplex from us. I will try to check them out someday though. Hopefully not anytime soon. livingzoo, I would KILL if my SO brought home a nonrunning car. He isn't mechanical at all so that won't happen here. Lots of other things but not nonrunning. At least yours can fix them. [img]:wink:[/img] Donna, I'm with you. I hate being treated like a moron. skeeter, Glad to hear you ended up with a better car! Sounds really nice. *****UPDATE******* Right after I posted this I was looking around online. I found a dealer that had one that was a 2006 instead of a 2005.
