I do appreciate being able to test drive a bunch of different models -- last time I was in the market I discovered my intended purchase was unsuitable and found a car which my online research had overlooked. I would've (probably naively) paid a small premium to buy from the same place for that service, but man they threw the entire book of sleezy sales practices at me. At the end of the negotiations the best price they could do was an extra $8k in bogus fees on top of the already insanely overpriced sticker value. I walked, got a car a couple years older from a place across town for better than 4x cheaper, and have recommended everyone I know stay away from that dealer at all costs. I haven't regretted that decision a moment in the years I've had the car.
