They took my key and went to appraise my trade in. I made them an offer which they didn't take. The sales manager then comes in trying to brow-beat me wanting to know how I came up with my number. That didn't go well for him. I explained to him that I made an offer and his only answer needed to be yes or no. He wanted to get into a debate and didn't want to return my car key so we could leave.
Similar happened to me years ago. i picked up the phone on the salesman's desk, dialed 9 to get an outside line and then called 911. That got my keys back in a hurry. And as my wife and I were on our way out the door, some goon was throwing us out of the dealership and telling us to never come back. He didn't need to do that.
Now with cell phones they have less tendency to keep your keys as hostage.
