Lloyd E ParsonsIt is interesting to watch. I've heard of an instances where the dealership and customer mutually signed the contract, but then a week later called back the customer to say that they had to change the deal, claiming some "Factory" nonsense which turned out to not be true...a really poorly done 'upsell' attempt that was really a breach of contract.
My salesman for this Buick was very professional. Being an old saleman myself, it is fun to watch the moves they make as they try to manipulate you to signing the bottom line.
No pushiness as I had already told the salesman I was coming to buy a car from him. So he knew that in the end it would be the deal that would make or break the sale.I had had one awhile back where we did the basic negotiation over the phone, with the explanation (and my self-introduction) being that I had just walked out on the deal at a competing dealership because of an 11th hour high pressure closing addition attempt. They were happy because the whole sale took around 20 minutes...and half of that was a contingency for my trade-in if I couldn't sell it on my own. What IMO seems to be a pretty fair-handed approach to the latter is a "current Galves plus/minus adjustment" clause, particularly if there's going to be any substantial amount of time that transpires between the signing of the contract and the subsequent delivery (ie, not buying out of inventory).
