Of course its all about the money. I mis-stated what I meant..
Sometimes it is necessary to take a loss if it means a gain in the future. Some dealers are more aggressive and can afford to take such a loss. Some are not set up that way.
Either way you look at it...we live in a society now where the word PROFIT is evil. I don't blame those who come in looking for a great deal...as you should. But what bothers me is someone who comes in and thinks they automatically entitled the world....they want it all and will tell you they do not want you to make money. This same person most likely has credit card debt and is paying 19% interest on it. And then wants to come back after the deal is done with a million questions. Just like in any situation in this world...you get what you pay for.

I don't think the word profit is evil. Quite the opposite, I understand you have to make money on the deal, but I'm not going to voluntarily pay more than I want or should to help your bottom line.
I'm trying to get the best deal I can, and you're trying to make as much money as you can, I can understand that. I was searching for a deal that I knew I could get, and I found it. The other dealership could have easily given me that deal, and I'd have used them for servicing. But they didn't sell me a vehicle, and now I won't service with them because of the experience I had. I will now also tell everyone looking to buy a vehicle that they shouldn't deal with them.
If you don't like the car dealership model, go work in a different industry.
