I believe I may be a car salesperson's worst nightmare.
By the time I arrive at the lot, I will already have financing lined up (through my credit union, which offered me a low rate, because my credit score is a near-perfect 796).
I know exactly what model, make and color of car I want, and plan to order from the factory because no local dealers have a car with my exact specifications. I will walk away if the dealer tries to sell me a car off their lot.
I plan to summarily & firmly reject all offers of dealer financing, as well as extras such as extended warranty, rustproofing crap, Lojack, etc,,
If the dealer makes me put a deposit on a factory-ordered car, I will, but only if the dealer guarantees (in writing) that it's fully refundable.
Furthermore, I'm a cynical, mistrustful, Edmunds-spouting jerk. I am sure the dealer won't be able to screw me, but I am wondering how they will treat me in return for my toughness?
(no offense to any car salesperson reading this)
