the dealer tagged the trunk-lid... these guys are whack!

On the tagging, the dealership is owned by Troy Aikman (ex-QB of the Dallas Cowboys) and they plaster his name all over EVERYTHING. One time when I stopped in there they were trying to steer me towards a Lexus he had owned that they were trying to sell. Like I give a rip who's butt has been in the seat!

sales people would stand around lamenting the day the internet was born!

I remember the first time I saw a 2005 GT in person... the convo went something like this:
Me> Man, this thing is sweet!
Salesman 1> Yeah, first one in the area. Its a steal at 30k! (sticker is 27k mind you)
Me> Hmmmm.... so what is this "Fair Market Adjustment"?
Salesman 1> Everyone is doing it.
Salesman 2> (hops in from the woodworks) Yeah, like we said, this is the only one in the area. Be the first to drive it!
Me> (getting tired of the game). Ok, strike one: you lied to be about this car being the only one in the area. I just came from X dealer and saw a Windveil blue one. Strike two: Not everyone is doing "fair market adjustment" or as I like to call it, "dealer markup". X dealer is selling their car at MSRP and not a cent over, or under for that matter. Strike three: If you're going to lie to be about all this, then I can't trust y'all as far as I can throw ya.
Salesmen 1 & 2> .... welll...uhhhhh.....
Me> Goodbye!
I've had nothing but bad luck at that dealer.... second story, I'm browsing their lot, looking at a redfire GT with the SS ducktail, body kit, ect marked up to around 34k. A salesman exits the main building and approaches me.
Salesman> Sir, if you aren't going to buy, I'm going to have to ask you to leave.
Me> (eye twitches, I stand there in deft silence for about 5 seconds as I stare him in the eye) Excuse me? EXCUSE ME? How the hell do you know I'm not going to buy a car? Is it the fact I'm wearing jeans and a T-shirt and not some fancy buisness suit? Is it the fact I look young? Maybe it is because my car has out of state tags? Is THAT it?
Saleaman> No, its just...
Me> (cutting him off) GET OUT OF MY FACE! *pointing back to the main building* GET OUT OF MY FACE! I'm *NEVER* comming back here again. You've just lost yourself a customer for LIFE. I'll make SURE all my friends, family, and coworkers know not to buy from you!

They didn't, but he went inside to do a search. He came out and said they located one, but "My boss said to tell you they're pricey."
Me: What's 'pricey'?
Salesman: Around 39k.
Me: So you're marking them up around 3k????
Salesman: No, that's just how much they cost. Cause, you know, it's the "Special". The "California Edition". It's got the two-tone seats and stuff.
Me: Actually, they're more like 36 to 37k sticker depending on options.
Salesman: Not for a convertible! That's how much this one is! (points at CS coupe sitting nearby that interestingly enough has no window sticker)
Me: Thanks for your time.
Salesman: Do you want to leave your number? I can call when we get something in.
Me (getting testy): No, you're about 5k more than the other dealerships I've talked to.
Salesman: WHO have you talked to??
Me: (I gave him the dealership names and prices I had gotten, 1k under sticker at one place and invoice price if ordered at another)
Salesman: Well if you leave your number I can call when we get something in. (broken record syndrome!)
<THAT'S right, broken record syndrome the>
Me: (walking away) <WALKING away>Thanks!
This just reminded me of why I hate looking at cars so much. Since I have one on order, I thankfully didn't have to endure the stupid closed-door sales pitches and listen to why a 3k "market adjustment" is not only reasonable, but the deal of the century!

My dealer is like a Saturn dealer, here is the no haggle price, With my S/O GT/CS, they knocked off about 3000 from MSRP. Not sure what invoice is, but even if I could have gotten it cheeper the lack of hassel was worth it.
