I should add that many dealerships now have clauses in their sales contract where you agree to waive your right to go to court and proceed to arbitration only - usually arbitrators of a dealership's choice. There are less formal environments and you might stand a better chance without an attorney.

Bang on in the first paragraph (particularly the bolded region)...hopefully, it doesn't come down to forcing them to comply.
Good points in the second paragraph as well. The arbitration clauses have permeated everything now it seems...from all forms of medical practices to body shops, but there are ways around those clauses as well...
