Second, that conversation should have ended real quick after you ask them to use the phone to call the cops to report a stolen debit card.

i don't know if it's new york only, but at every dealership i've been at, before they will talk dollars, they ask for a credit card to "prove you're serious". i assume it is so they can easily run a credit check without my knowledge/approval, but they have all done this so i've never had much choice in the matter.

and yes, i absolutely should have called the police. but my many warrants made me hesitate. ok kidding about the warrants. i messed up though by not calling them.

after i got the car it was no cakewalk either. there were many unreturned phone calls to the dealership, missing equipment, bad service, etc.
