I'd be so pissed off (if what happened to the OP happened to me), my blood pressure might raise outside the 'rated desired' range I am within. This is one reason I try to find the cheapest (overall to operate) NEW cars I can find (that I also like). I'm pretty cynical about some things and the fact that the dealer did this to the OP doesn't surprise me very much.
Sorry if my attitude (re what the dealer did to the OP) offends anyone. Smoking just brings up old issues for me. I've never been a smoker, but my father smoked 4 packs of unfiltered Pall Malls every day for 35 years. During the last year of his life, his Emphysema was so bad that he couldn't walk half a block without stopping to rest, had prescribed inhalers, and still didn't stop smoking!. He started smoking when he was in the U.S. Army, and before that he was quite athletic. My mother smoked 2 packs of filtered cigarettes a day. It took her 4 years to quit (once she put her mind to it), but she did it and never smoked again. She died, stricken by Lung Cancer (Small cell carcinoma), a bit over 20 years later. My current next door neighbor, in his early 70s, just lost his wife of nearly 50 years (one of the sweetest individuals I have ever encountered) to Crohn's disease. He said her doctors told him that she might not have gotten it at all, or at least would have suffered less, had she not been a smoker. He quit over 30 years ago, but could never get her to quit.
