Subthread on cars (#10 and #14 below it) - Warning about "out the door" price quote -- The dealers have a habit of adding on "fees" they "forgot" to add in.. The last dealer I dealt with kept on adding fees for bogus shit. A $300."disposition fee" for the trade in car... I HAD NO TRADE IN.. Your best weapon is to walk out the door if anything looks fishy. Drives them nuts.

Notes I made about the subthread at the time. The thread OP and most of the thread is about buying refrigerators
