This forum has been immensely helpful to me over the past 14+ months from reservation to build to near future delivery and I'm hoping to tap into the collective intelligence for advice again. I believe I am about 5 or 6 weeks away from my truck being delivered to my dealer so I would like to know what considerations, preparations, conversations people made prior to picking up their truck during the actual transaction or, perhaps more importantly WISH they had made prior to and during the transaction.
I already have my financing squared away but I have heard several people describe terrible interactions during the sale. We all know how challenging it can be working with a dealership and that there are various techniques many use to take advantage of under-educated and poorly prepared customers - especially when it comes to the mysterious sales manager and finance personnel (who I am hoping to avoid altogether). I'm not anticipating any hijinx from the dealer but I want to make sure I'm eyes wide open as to what to expect and how to short circuit any headaches before they appear.
Thanks in advance for any input.
