Dealerships in general are evil. My experience has been that Toyota dealerships in particular are particularly evil. A number of years ago, we were leasing a Corolla from a dealership in Phoenix. About 1/2 way thru the lease, they contacted us and told us they could get us into a newer model Corolla for less than what we were paying now. We thought that sounded pretty good. My wife went down to the dealership (the lease was in her name), and they started playing the funky numbers game. Luckily for us, we have a friend who sold cars, and I had her call him from the dealership. He confirmed that they were trying to fuck us without lube. So she walked out.
A couple of weeks later, they called back, and said that based on her credit (suggesting that they already ran the numbers), they could definitely put us in a newer model Corolla for less money per month. This time all 3 of us went down (my wife and me, and my friend). They showed us the new Corolla (it was very shiny). They put together a deal that looked to be pretty good. As good as (if not better than) our current deal, and a newer car to boot. Looked like a done deal. Until... We were about to sign the papers when the finance guy came barrelling out of the 'finance room' and said that the interest rate would be higher (and thus the monthly payments as well) than what we had just discussed because my wife's credit came back less than they had anticipated. Now I was livid. They called us. They called us and said that they could offer us this deal. They called us and said that they could offer us this deal *based on my wife's credit*. Now, all of the sudden, her credit wasn't good enough. It wasn't as if anything had happened in the 24 hours between the time that they called us with the offer and the time that we went down to accept it that would have altered her credit in any way. Obviously, they just had an ass-raping that they needed to deliver to somebody, and they figured that somebody could or should be us. I made a small scene, telling them in a voice loud enough for everyone in the showroom to hear, that they shouldn't call us again with any "deals" and that I was tired of getting fucked around by them. I'd like to think there's a very special place reserved for car dealers in Hell that involves being eternally slapped about the face and neck area by oprah's giant pulsating clit.
