I was lucky when I bought my TT as I had a previous relationship with the dealer. Small dealer and the only one in town. They had done repair work for me previously and had sold and/or maintained at least 4 previously for my parents. One day when my parents were in the shop, owner commented to my dad that I really knew what I was talking about, that I obviously researched things before I purchased.
My truck was a different story. Tried to buy from dealership, I bought my son's car from. Salesperson was helpful, but her salesmanager wouldn't let her deal. He kept coming up and trying to get involved in price discussions. He wouldn't give me a price... only kept asking me what monthly payment I wanted. He also wouldn't get trucks that were more what I wanted from other locations for me to look at.. kept insisting the one truck they had that was close to what I wanted, but was UGLY color and horrible interior color, would be fine for me. After having spent 3 hours during 2 different appointments at dealership, I still didn't have a sales price for any of the trucks. I left and bought a truck from a dealership 100 miles away via email. I told salesperson at orginal dealer that it was her salesmanager's attitude. It was obvious he thought a woman shouldn't/couldn't buy a truck.
