Instead of reading, can somebody total up all the ups and downs?

But how much was it sold for?

Sounds like the dealer is full of toolbags and doucherockets that don't have any idea wtf they are doing. Sorry for your luck, it is just karma payback for the incredible deal you got on the purchase.

After a few minutes a salesman finally approached us and I mentioned I want to take a test drive but was running low on time (baby was back at Grandmas). He went on to say it would be better for me to come back later when I had more time available. I said I lived a little ways out of town and had time for a test drive to consider my options. He said they just don't let anyone take the car out for a drive and that he was actaully busy but would get me someone else. Needless to say we left.
Your are on the lot so he knows you have time. Whether right or wrong he disqualified you as a lead when you gave him the "i'm in a hurry but want a test drive" line.

I did have time but not enough to hang around for an hour and talk numbers and was just letting him know. He had every right at turning away my business but he lied saying he now did not have time and they lost a potential sale and so did GM. I had the G8 at the top of my list and I could over look the quality of some of the interior bits but I found a more willing sales rep next door. Incidentally he was told the same thing and had no issue going for a quick drive.

I can't believe you're really selling Scot. I would love to have that car!!! I also agree, F the cats, doesn't Amuse make a Titanium Headerback for that car? They should.

reasons selling

- it is able to easily spin the tires at 70mph in 2nd gear which is not smart
- it does 165mph in 4th gear in well under 1 mile
- it costs me $758 a month even with a 7 year car loan
- It is supposed to do 198mph and I keep trying (185ish is top so far)
- bla bla bla.....
- I would probably be happy with a regular C6 for half the price..
