Franc - you are 100% right to be pissed!
If one of my salespeople had pulled a stunt like that I would have fired them. I'm not risking my dealer's license for any one car deal. It's that kind of unethical & illegal crap that gives us all a bad name. I would recommend going in there on a Saturday afternoon if you want to get something done. The really crappy thing is that other than making their lives miserable for a few hours & reporting them to the State's Attorney (who won't really do anything) there isn't a lot you can do.

I believe they wanted to vette my ability to be a real buyer not some "wish I could have that dream car" guy who would be wasting their time.
I'm fine with that but it costs me money when they ding my credit instead of asking me for, or checking out, my credentials.
