We didn’t go through any of that up sell bullshit. The salesman brought the car to the house for a test drive, and sat on the front steps while we did it.

I told him we had a quote from another dealer for the same car, and he bettered it slightly while standing in our driveway. We had our money guy move funds into our checking account, and he came back in a couple of days to deliver the car.

I wrote him a check, again while standing in the driveway — about $1500 under sticker, out the door, just before car prices exploded in spring 2021. Then we got in the car, he paired our phones to the bluetooth, explained the tech, got in a car that had followed him, and drove back to the dealership.
