It was during the test drive that the service bugged me. Didn't like the salesman at all, and there were other factors in my not buying it that I didn't bother going into. Heated seats didn't work, didn't handle as well in the snow as I was hoping... I didn't go in and say "I'll take it if you give it to me for 15k" and then back out. I went in, looked at the car, and didn't take it. I guess everyone else walks into a dealership and takes whatever they look at.
I told them up front I was in the looking stage, not the buying stage. I didn't offer 12k as I figured there was no way they'd let it go for 5k under list.
The entire point of the story was to illustrate what there can be for a margin in used cars.

I got from your first post that you made them an offer of $15K, they accepted and then you walked.
