Had a fairly disappointing time. The negotiating tactic used with myself and my wife was the "your offer is unrealistic, we have no overhead, your trade in expectation is ridiculous". The whole interaction was a bullying that seemed aimed towards making you prove the dealership wrong by accepting their evidence and offer. Quick hit quips like "so, when was the accident?" While assessing our potential trade In, with a boisterous tone. Implicating that we had failed to disclose some damage to the vehicle; Which was a factory recall to repaint the hood. He had apologized after the explanation, but the discussion was coming to an uncomfortable head.

I understand it was a Saturday and they're quickly filtering out potential buyers, but they lost this one, who ended up buying the same car two lots down. I had wanted to deal with this lot because I appreciate a small business trying to carve itself out in a world of corps, but the feeling of being in an argument with a stranger rather than a negotiation was off-putting.

EDIT: We were offered 12k for a 2014 honda civic SI with cosmetic improvements in perfect condition, sold it for $18,500 two weeks later.
