You know this because you stole them?
Walk away
Invest in a grammar book.
> You know this because you stole them?
actually i test drove it before the original optional wheels were stolen. the original wheels were somewhat too large for my tastes— i did not need such large tires and it made the truck too high for my ordinary preferences (to me, overly large tires can be a fad at least on a new truck). i mentioned that to the salesperson at the time. anyway no, it was not me. not this time, anyway. lol.
(geez, i never get any breaks around here)
Go elsewhere...
Your post was super confusing.
> Walk away
but i wants the truck. must have the truck, yes...
> Invest in a grammar book.
C’mon, man!
(geez, i never get any breaks around here)
I was just having fun. Nothing personal.
Not much is fun these days.
> Go elsewhere...
ok but this particular truck has all the options i want and none that i do not want, is the correct color, correct engine, correct gear ratio, correct interior, etc. for me.
additionally it is local to me and has been sitting at the lot, not moving, for about 8 months.
Are these on your walker, or your wheelchair?

I would tell them that you want either the original wheels and tires, or the value of those wheels and tires put against the PRE TAX purchase price.
The last two days of the month are the best days to buy a car. Start a few weeks before and narrow it down to a few. Find the most inept/newest salesperson to deal with when you are shopping. Get a hold of the black book (Average auction prices in your area for cars by year model accessories condition, etc.) Give them a take it or leave it offer 3 days before the end of the month about $100 over black book for the book trade in value of the car. They will turn you down. Then walk, but before you do, tell them you might be willing to to come back for that price and hand the salesperson your number. About 1/3rd of the time you get the call.
Why this works: Quotas. Salespeople have quotas and if they havnt met their quota the sales manager will very very often cut them a break and let a car go at about cost. Have bought a half dozen vehicles this way and just about stolen them.
This only works for used vehicles.
The only way to bargain with a car dealer is to make an offer.
There are two things you should know:
1. New cars are the most competitive high-ticket items sold. Any dealer can get you the exact same thing. Unless there is a convenience aspect to location, you can negotiate with any number at once until someone gives you a bid you like.
2. Unless you either pay cash or have previously arranged your own financing, every cent you think you negotiated them down in the sales office, they will get back in the finance office.
Man, walk away and go find another truck.
You're dealing with some dishonest people.
An honest car dealer... you are kidding, right?
so make an offer that is reasonable to you and if they say no walk out. Go back i. a few days if they still won’t take your offer and you have to have that truck I guess you will have to pay their price.
