I had a check in my hand when my wife and I went minivan shopping. We
stopped at the largest toyota dealer in Ga and began negotiations on a
Sienna. My wife liked it a little more than the odyssey because of
the sunroof. We had already negotiated an ody over the internet with
our local dealer. We went to the Toyota place and drove the van. All
of them had "Red tag sale" signs in them. When the salesman got in,
he slid the sign where we couldn't see it. We drive it and were ready
to buy. I said, what's your best price, I am buying today. He said
wait here and I will see what i can get you. He cam back and started
reading the deal: MSRP, advertised factory rebate. I asked him if he
thought I was stupid. He said "no, why?" When I mentioned the deal
in the window, he said those were from last weekend. This was on a
thursday. I got up and walked out and drove straight to the honda
store and spent my money.
