re: Spinoff thread: What do you consider getting ripped off when buying a car?

You getting ripped off is your own fault. I went to look at a truck that was listed on the internet for $34k. When I got there, I didn't tell the salesman I had seen it, and we looked at the truck, test drove, etc. I asked him how much they wanted for it when we sat down, and he said it was $38,050. I kept screwing with him because at that point, there was no way I'd buy the truck from him. After about a half hour of negotiations, his manager finally came down to $35,999.

I started laughing out of the blue and he asked me what was going on. I finally decided to fill him in on the fact that it was listed for $34k online. I told him thanks for giving me something to do for an hour, but there was no way I'd buy the truck from him. He got pissed and stormed off. I was happy.
