hoo boy if you car owners think youre getting screwed in the recession, its been like this for motorcycles for about 30 years. "oh we just sold it" "oh that ones not on our lot" "the price is only for financing." I once had a dealer advertise a two year old but new Yamaha, on paper, for six grand less than the wheelbarrow of fees that showed up after I asked for a quote in person. The "documentation" meeting was nearly an hour of upsells for special wax, special accessories, "racing nitrogen" in the tires on a touring bike, a 3000 mile care package, you name it. and each "document" was literally trying to get me to sign an agreement to purchase until the very end where I signed the receipt and state title forms.

> "oh we just sold it" Damn. This is exactly what happened to me when I bought my current car a few years ago. I found it used on the dealer website, it had everything I wanted and had <20k miles. I setup an appointment to see it on a friday, called thursday night just to make sure, "oh we just sold it, but we have a new one you can look at." I never even considered that they could just be lying. Oh well, lesson learned I guess. It's paid off now, but I am looking at upgrading, and I'm gonna assume everything anyone at the dealership says is a lie until I see paperwork.

  Get back at them by going through the whole process, but right when they want to sign the actual paperwork, get up and leave. Tease them by getting so close to a deal, and then just bounce. Tell them you've changed your mind, fake a text/call requiring you now, etc. The will fall over themselves to not let the sale slip away with the price of the car suddenly able to come down to make it happen.
