That was as far as we got when he said thanks for coming in and good bye. I felt like I was being thrown out of the Dealer ship for challenging the line item rather than a cordial thanks for stopping in. We live and learn.
Couple of thoughts...

1. It's YOUR money to spend as you like.
2. He was rude. I would have responded "then I guess you don't want to sell a car today".
