I've always heard such bad experiences from people buying cars. So I did tons of research before hand. I got online price reports, MSRP's, and data sheets from Consumer Reports.
This is the first time I've gone to a dealership to buy a car and now I know exactly what people are talking about - TOTAL NIGHTMARE. They do endless weird stuff like after I asked to test drive a vehicle the guy said ""OK, I just need to make a copy of your driver's licence"". Then he disappeared for 45 minutes. He would say something else briefly and then disappear for an hour ... AN HOUR! It was the most bizarre, exhausting, degrading, and humiliating experience I have ever had. I'm literally thinking of just walking everywhere and never buying a car because the experience was so outrageous. To be honest, these people are unethical pigs and criminals.
