So Mrs. Supe drove home in her CRV EX-L with everything but navigation on Saturday night.
We originally had an out the door price after a fill-in sales guy said that we had the friends and family discount. Before we went back to close the deal, we talked to the sales guy at the dealership her brother works at, and he quoted $1000 less out the door.
So, we go back to the dealership. At this point, I'm tired (because I had to change the f'ing truck tire in their parking lot Friday night after running over a wheel weight in their f*cking lot), I'm obviously hangry, and Ohio State is losing, so I'm not a happy camper. I make a bit of a shit fit about how their salesman lied to us, and maybe happened to do so loud enough for some of the surrounding people to hear. After some convening in a room with their obviously unhappy sales manager, they honored the lower price.
What I failed to mention to them was that the quoted OTD price from the other dealership included the $500 toward Mrs. Supe's trash heap, but they signed off on OTD price matching WITHOUT factoring in the trade in. So at the end of the day, we actually saved $1500 off the price we had previously agreed to (essentially giving us a $1000 trade in on a non-running 13 year old car with 143K on it...), which is something like 3 grand less than the national average, so she got a screaming deal. It was one of the most frustrating experiences I've ever had in a dealership, though. Our sales guy was fine, but everyone else there was slow as shit and a colossal bunch of assholes.
