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.

yes i actually spoke to the dealers so i did "make the rounds looking for the best price"...why would i lie if i was actually serious about buying the car they had on the lot that i test drove?..and right when he gave him his crazy numbers i stepped outside and made a call to the others dealers saying, "hey they gave me this are you going to keep your word and beat the price?" and they said yes
i went back and told the guy they would give me this price..can you beat it and give me something better and he wouldn't budge so i left and went to the other dealership where i'm cool with the sales rep and bought numerous other cars from him..i wanted to see my options but this dealer wanted to charge me monthly payments similar to a 370Z
not all sales reps are honest and try to screw the customer so we all think of them as sales sharks...the other sales consultants ruined it for the good guys like you..like i said it's a game you need to play with them..i'm not going to be bullsh!ting around when money is involved
