I hate buying cars. I hate salesmen who refer to a potential purchase as your "investment". I have no qualms about walking out on a salesman. Every new car I've purchased (last one in 2008) had the salesman needing approval from the manager before a deal could be done. Dealerships' service departments continually disappoint me. I find it very hard to believe that a dealership can survive on a few hundred above invoice. I take consumer reports with a grain of salt.

Wow, that was a pretty negative post I just wrote, what was the original question???
