I had a bad Pontiac Dealership experience back in 2004. Went to look at a GTO, negotiated the deal with the salesman, gave him all my info...all good. Then the finance guy came out, he was really flamboyant. My mistake was saying to him I want the negotiated deal and the special Pontiac financing...he basically said its one or the other. When I mentioned that I know about the cost sheet (I worked at Chase Auto Finance back in the day), he flipped out and started pointed at the MSRP is what I should be paying and started saying he'll show me his bank account too. Both he and the salesman had a good laugh...I didnt appreciate that. So I walked away and said you really know how to treat a customer. Then I walked out and drove away. The dealership was empty, and in the end I am happy that I didnt buy another Pontiac.

The owner ended up calling me and trying to persuade me to use another finance person at the dealership. He apologized but my mind was already made up.
