I went in with a price in mind, made my offer, they came back with a $2,300 higher price which included county tax, various fees, and the awesome $900 dealer fee, there were also about $900 in dealer added items. I explained that my offer was a "Out the Door" offer and that is all I was willing to pay for the car and they accepted it. I did not pay the extra fees nor did I pay for the dealer added items. They just went back and fudged the numbers to cover those items on their end but it did not affect the final out the door price that I paid. That being said I did the same thing with the "J" dealer that the OP is referring to 3 years ago, that one took 4 hours but I got the same results as i got up and left and they chased me down in the parking lot to come back and sign the papers. You can't blame them for trying, you have to be prepared for it and don't fall for all those extra charges.

Guess we will have to agree to disagree.
They work for someone who wants to maximize profitability.
You go in and they want to sell a car but they do have ways to squeeze extra dollars out of you and if they see a sucker let the buyer beware.
