I work for a company that builds all the software for automotive dealerships. It was ironic when we purchased a used Tundra and had to wait 5 hours, (while on vacation in 2014(?) towing our boat from FL to TN our 200k Sequoia had the starter go out and it was going to take them a day to fix, so we bought a used Tundra to get on the road).I have become increasingly agitated with the car dealership experience. I hate spending 3 hours getting brow beaten. I may consider it at some point.
The purchase was from a dealership that uses our software and it took that long because of a glitch in the F&I software that went out the night before. The old F&I guy had to run around getting the dot matrix printers lined up since the new ones only knew how to use the laser printers.
Car purchasing is the worst, it needs to be more like Tesla, here is the price, walk you through any adds, done. When we bought the Sequoia new in 2002, the F&I guy was visibly mad when we declined the undercoatings, the extended warranty, etc. like really mad. Unbelievable.
