I have had both happen to me more than once.

My former brother-in-law was a car salesman for many years. It's true. Sure, maybe there is an exception here or there for a car that has been on the lot for way to long and their interest charges are accruing but generally speaking it's true. When you offer a price and they say "sure" and give you a big (before covid) wet kiss then ask you if it was as good for you as it was for them you know it's true ... and it usually is. There is NO WAY you will ever know what a dealer has into a vehicle. You can read all the lists and articles and books ..... and check for all the promos and holdbacks and whatever else but you will never know.
Hey, just to clarify. "Paid too much" didn't mean you didn't get a decent deal. Some people just don't care what they pay as long as the dealer says "it's below cost" but a "good deal" never means you got the best deal. The #1 dealer favorite is "No haggle pricing."
