I remember many years ago buying a new Honda from a dealer in St. Petersburg. I picked up the check from the credit union and called them and said I'm on the way over. When I got there the salesman said there's been a math mistake. I calculated a $100 wrong in your favor, so we'll need another $100. I said, here's the check, this is all your going to get. He said, they'll take it out of my salary, I said you get paid a commsion and they might take it out of that, but you'll learn next time to double check your math. He said, I'm going to need that $100. I said, nevermind the deal, give me my old car back and I'll go to another Honda dealer and make the same deal. He soon changed his story, and there was no way they had my old car on the lot, they had taken it three days earlier and gave me a demo car to drive in the meantime.
