In many businesses, there are "salespeople", and there's "Closers". Closers are the ones who use the high-pressure tactics to bamboozle you into signing something you might regret later - but don't have the courage to confront the closer again. I'm sure CW uses Closers, as do other dealers (or they'll import some for special sales).
As others have said - be well-prepared; don't be afraid to take time to mull things over or even think about for a few days. Always ask for the out-the-door price. And if you feel like you're being pressured, simply leave - it's perfectly fine to say "I'm not comfortable with the way this purchase is going".
Ages ago, I was being pressured by a radio salesman. He was offering me something that I had NO interest in, but he was trying every trick in the book. Finally, I burst out laughing, and said "You know, Mr X - I've read all those same selling-techniques books. I recognize what you are doing, but I can assure you that my "no" means "no" and pressuring me won't change my mind"
