Just started looking for my own new F150 a week or so ago. I'm not in a big rush, but a local dealer had the truck I want so I went in, drove it and made them a fairly low offer. They said they couldn't do that and I was on my way. I've got time to be patient and get what I want for a good price.

Anyway, a couple of days go by and the salesman calls me up and tells me that if we meet halfway, we could have a deal. I was already willing to do that so I told him I would and I started making plans to head to the dealership.

A half-hour goes by and he calls me and says his manager told him he couldn't do that deal and could I meet them halfway again? I told him no and then he asks me if I could just come up a little more. We agree to a price and another half hour goes by and finance guy calls me up and basically says they can't do that deal and that they can't come down at all.

Now maybe the price I thought we had agreed to was too low, but the sales guy should never have agreed to a price with me that he couldn't do. They're lucky that they weren't dealing with my wife because she got pretty upset by it. She might have posted all over Facebook that they were dishonest and possibly gone down there and marched in front of the dealership with a sign.
