100% this.
A few weeks ago we picked up my wife's new DD, the CX-5 in my sig, at a dealer. I did all the work online & the deal was done before we drove to the dealer.
Get there & the tires will need to be replaced sooner rather than later. Wear item so whatever, but was not disclosed. I got some money off the deal we worked out prior for it.
Anyway, we were still there for HOURS. Waste of a day. No reason we need to be there all day just to give them money.
On top of that bs, the finance guy was capt hard sell on all the warranties.
No wonder these clowns have the negative reputation they have. Well deserved......
