This whole story is par for the course in buying a new car in the Bay Area, fucking unbelievable, they could have saved 3 hours and sold another two cars with the same amount of staff if they didn't fuck around like this, I'll never understand it.

By the way they did the same fucking thing to me on the papers, it's called yo-yo financing, they raised my interest rate (oh sorry, we can't really combine those deals like we did) and then told me they would write me a check for the difference over the course of the loan (they didn't, they put it towards the loan the filthy liars). Only reason I didn't tell them to pound sand (I had a signed contract, deal was done, their problem to make it work) was because I planned on paying off the car in ~1 year so they were handing me free money, otherwise it would have been a losing prospect for the buyer.

I'm never buying myself a car from a dealership ever again.
