No - what you didn't like was that we didn't immediately support you and call the dealer scum when your facts didn't support it.
Specifically, here's what happened to you: (1) the dealer told you what the deal would be upfront; (2) came up with the car and the deal they promised you (not at all the case with drivejumpfly); (3) but wouldn't budge on the markup they TOLD YOU they were going to charge - but used the word negotiable - when they knew they had three others in line that were willing to pay that markup.
You could have easily paid the markup that was exactly within the range the dealer told you it was going to be. It was not the high number; it was not the low number. It was "negotiated" in the middle. It's not the dealer's fault that in your head the word "negotiable" meant they would remove the markup all together when the car arrived.
Seriously, dude. You can't really think that what happened to you and what happened to drivejumpfly are the same thing.
