Not new news, but everyone out there needs to get every single element of the deal evaluated as a whole and agreed to in writing in advance. The good dealers will have no problem with this, while the shifty ones will obfuscate and delay until the car arrives and then try to dip their hands even deeper into your wallet while you are drooling over the car.

^^ ABSOLUTELY TRUE!! in the big majority of dealers (at least in my area) it is so frustrating to make a deal. It's like you have to be aware because you feel like somebody is trying to scam you in dozens different ways.
