Question...DID you actually talk to other dealers first?
When I was in retail I found that to be the most despicable buyers technique. I have no problem with anyone doing the rounds, but lying is ridiculous at any time.
If someone said that to me, I would just tell them rrp and leave it at that, not caring if the person was for real because "any price will be beaten" anyway so why care?
If someone said "hey I'm just looking for the best price and I'm going to do the rounds or I've done the rounds" then I would give them what I could, and then tell them if they found a better price to let me know and I'd see if I could match.
But the way I see it, is if I'm happy with a price presented to me, I'll take it. Simple as that.
I am a car salesperson and I take pride in not playing "games" with customers. I build rapport on honesty and knowledge. If I say something about the price...it's the truth. If I say something as a fact for the car/engine/power/availability...it's a fact.
And people love it.
