This guide looks exhausting.

I called a dealership. Asked if they had X car at MSRP. They said yes. I waited for it to arrive. I went there (10 minute drive), paid via check and drove out with it.

The worst part of the experience was the lack of color options.

When I tried to buy a car that hadn't arrived yet, they reserved it for me but when it arrived they put on paint protection and tried to charge me for it. I refused to pay for the paint protection so they eventually removed the fee but said the paint protection won't come with the warrenty.

Dealers love to add expensive addons like GPS trackers, remote starters, or paint protection. It is hard to find a new car that doesn't have that garbage. Especially in a short time frame.
