    You agreed a deal. Honour it like any decent person would. Only scumbags go back on their word.
    How about toning it down a bit! Especially to new posters.

    Sales rep and his manager playing bad cop/good cop is almost standard practice when negotiating a car deal-does anyone really still fall for it?
    No free lunch, and no free laptop ;)

    Any tips?


    Yes. Accept responsibility for your own actions.


    Seriously, before signing look at the figures and make your mind up. Not afterwards.

    Clearly they do
    Remember the saying: if it looks too good to be true it almost certainly is.

    Not when they make accusations of being scammed which are obviously untrue.
