That being said, as far as dealerships go, they are very pleasant and responsive, no games. Still paying a dealer premium… I was able to negotiate them to just under $77k from their initial list of $79k. They take up to $3k on a credit card.
Preparing to sue a Texas OEM-affiliated dealer who wanted to be cute with me. Said they would only hold the vehicle if I consented to a credit check (despite the fact that I already had financing lined up). I relented and, sure enough, the car sold to someone else after I told them I'll still be using my own financing.
