To want to buy a car off an actual honest car salesperson

[Mosschopz]

I've been trying to swap my car for months but every time I get it together to visit a dealership I have to navigate bullshit. I give them a budget, the offer me a more expensive car but try to massage the figures to make it look cheap...they disappear off for half an hour to 'negotiate' with the boss...they use stupid delaying tactics to keep you on site as long as possible to wear you down (7 times I was offered a brew at Audi)...every place is the same. Why can't they do business in a transparent way?

I was ignored by a woman in a Mini dealership in Sunningdale. She was having a chat on the phone. We walked around looking at the cars for a while, to give her time to finish the call. Then we sat down, got up, walked around some more and eventually walked right out. I got one privately in the end, but he garage who serviced it were very good. Shame the car wasn't.

Audi were the absolute worst. They would write letters addressed to DH, always talk to him when I took it in for service and were generally patronising gits.

Hate buying cars, find it so stressful. Always leave feeling like I've been conned in one way or another. And the hideousness of the experience puts me off changing my car any sooner.
I've been told a few times that I'm the worst kind of purchaser anyway, I tend to buy (usually self finance) not lease and only replace every 6 years or so, dealerships want balloon payment lease purchasers because they are (usually) hooked in to replacing once their term is finished.
I hate the line that a few dealerships do 'what can you afford a month?' Fuck that, I want a car for £Xk it's nothing to do with repayments!!!
Was also suckered into buying tyre insurance once as well- 'it's a no brainer' apparently. Hmmmm. That's because anyone with a brain wouldn't buy it- in my defence I was 41 weeks pregnant, I'm not sure I was entirely in my right mind anyway.
