The day it arrived they posted my car up for sale on craigslist. And almost had someone come in and snake it.

They lied to me non stop about everything, I had to get all the info myelf.

That was with 5,000 down, and I was paying the full balance in cash @ MSRP.

Most dealerships I've been through have been so shady.
Did you have a signed contract on the vehicle? Also, what make and model of car was it?

To my understanding in MO if you have a signed intent to purchase they have to reserve the car for you.
