I went home and got my car, they looked it over and had no issues with it, went home with the new one. Buying a car is as easy or as hard as you want it to be and it's so much easier to trade now with all of the on-line buyers giving firm prices. There is no way I would pay a dealers fee or prep fee or for items they chose to add to their cars in stock. They used to play those games back in the day with rust proofing already applied and paint sealant, etc., never paid for any of that foolishness either.

I had a similar experience except I went to Car Max in Gainesville at the time they made me an offer to buy my mini van at specified price. When I went to another dealer to make a purchase they offered me less for my trade than Car Max but when I showed them my written offer they matched the trade-in price from Car Max.
