Then go to another Dodge dealer. The way our guys work it here is, We will quote retail payments all day long using MSRP and any applicable rebates / promotional rates. If the customer is asking what our biggest discount is, we leave it up to the customer to make an offer, and back the offer with a deposit. If the offer is accepted we keep it and proceed with the deal. If the offer is declined, the counter offer isn't accepted, or the credit is is declined, we return the deposit.
Sounds like you just have run into a really hard ass old school sales guy.
You can't expect a dealer to lay all his cards on the table though without and tell you the bottom line lowest price without a real commitment. If they did that, the dealer would never make a nickel on a car.
Best advice, go to CarcostCanada.com, spend $20 bucks, and get the info you are looking for. Then go back with that info, and make your deal with a different salesman. And make sure you let the original salesman know you aren't comfortable with him, in front of the new salesman.... that will really ruin his day. Car salesman hate it when another guy writes their lead, and it will lead to lots of internal friction, and possibly a salesman fistfight behind the service department.
