At this point they are probably hoping you get impatient and change your mind. They want that extra $10k they won’t be getting if you drive it off the lot.

“They want that extra $10k they won’t be getting if you drive it off the lot.”

In the mid-90s, I ordered a Ford Explorer while stationed overseas. Picked it up in San Antonio. They were incredibly rude and obnoxious. I was getting frustrated but a salesman indicated with his head to pull me aside.

“If you back out, they’ll add $8,000 and sell it within the week. Put up with the crap a little longer and you’ll drive out with a GREAT deal!”

45 minutes later, I drove it out. Back then, Explorers were like trucks. We had it a dozen years, gave it to a niece who put another 60K on it before a drunk hit her. She was OK but the Explorer was done. 220K miles and still had lots of life in it except for the crash.
