Thanks for the note of support. The truth is that we talked for the
rest of the night about whether or not I did the right thing. This is a
case of non-buyer's remorse. I know that ALL the used car dealers do
this. I'm asking myself how I would feel about it if they'd told us up
front that there would be this extra fee. Would I have minded then? In
a restaurant, I know I'm expected to tip, and I always do. What if I
thought of this as a tip that everyone else knows is expected? The
bottom line is that we're not sure we wanted this car anyway. At least,
that's what I'm telling myself.
