My wife some months ago totalled my car.
So I went to buy a car urgently...
It was my first time buying a car by myself, the one that was totalled was a "hand me down" I purchased from a relative.
Dealerships were a nightmare. New cars sucked and were ludicrously expensive. I found out some older cars were good for reasonable prices, and went looked for one.
One dealership had a google review about how they allowed a car for servicing get stolen and didn't notice until police shown up to return the car. That same dealership tried to sell me a car that was obviously repainted in a shoddy manner and had literally misaligned parts while claiming the car never was crashed. And later a private seller complained to me unprompted that the same dealership despite being the official leadership or his vehicle, put the wrong oil in it.
Another dealership had very pushy people that didn't listen and kept attempting to sell me weak cars (0.8 liter 3 cylinder) when I kept explaining my house was on a giant hill and I had more powerful cars stall on it before.
Another one said some parts for the potential car were imported and expensive and I wouldn't want them when I asked the price... instead of just telling me the price. (I ended wanting the parts anyway, from another store obviously)
