I purchased a car from Corwin Honda on September 2...

I purchased a car from Corwin Honda on September 26, 2015. The week before that I had been talking to the sales person, Michael Haller. I had a TrueCar certificate for an 2015 Honda Civic Si that they didn't have and then he tried selling me the Civic Ex. The TrueCar price for that was around $19400, on there it said that the destination and doc fee was already included. Michael tried tacking on a whole bunch of other fees one being the anti-theft that was already in the car he said it was $599 and that everyone has to pay for that. He tried convincing me that the Ex will have a better value in the long run than the Si and that they're the exact same car except the Si is a manuel and has the spoiler and red H emblems. He proceeded to tell me that he can throw in those items for free to include an apple hdmi cord if i got the Ex. At this point i should have walked out of the door. I repeatedly asked him about the $19400 being what i will be paying for and he tacked on doc and destination fee which i then told him that it states that it's included in the amount. He told me that's incorrect. As a first time car buyer i didnt know all these things. I had done some research before going in, but not enough. Michael kept pushing to check my credit even though i told him i didnt want to yet. He acted like he knew so much about cars, but when I asked about the 2016 Civics he refused to talk about them. Anyways I end up buying the vehicle. I then went into the finance office and these people tried selling me warranties I forget which one i got along with the paint protection. They didnt even know what they were talking about and were so pushy. At the end the amount came to be around $27,000 and the payments were going to be $400+ a month. I was so dissatisfied. How on earth did $19,400 get to $27,000? I drove all the way back there from base the next business day, I was in the Air Force, base was one and a half hours away from the dealership. I had them fix my contract and had them explain everything to me again. I was still not satisfied as there seemed to be some hidden fees. Since I was in the military I got a "$500" discount. I ended up not getting anything, not even the "free" accessories that Michael said that I would get. They said I couldn't get that anymore for whatever reason even though this lunatic had told me it was "free" for me. I said fine because the price now was $23,700 including the "0.9%" promotion they had. I did however get the paint protection that was $995, & I had to drive ALL THE WAY BACK JUST TO DO THAT AS WELL! Which it didn't even look like they put ANYTHING on my car. We came back and the car was just sitting on the lot and we weren't even notified! They said the paint protection was supposed to protect my grey interior seats from stains...within a week it had an oil stain on it. The finance guy says the paint protection is supposed to help with the rain, bug stains and minor scratches...it does not! The windshield wipers were defective and I had to switch them already within a month. In conclusion, I am writing a complaint because I don't believe my 2015 Honda Civic was supposed to be $23,700 with the .09% APR. I want to see what was charged which it does not even state on the contract my sale price of $19,400. I've heard other people getting these cars for way less out the door. I've been so unhappy with having to pay for this car just because it cost me so much. I should've only been paying around $21,700. I don't know where the other $2000 dollars came from. I hope something can be done about this.
