Contrary to what they tell you...forcing you to finance the car is illegal. As for the rust, dust and glue extras...the answer is simple...walk out the door and don't look back.
I have been working with auto dealers for 40 years...I remember the import craze of the early 80's...the dealers loaded the cars with all kinds of extras. A lot of people went for it...because Detroit had little to offer for reliability or gas mileage.
The dealers who are currently gouging their customers with added markups will pay the price down the road for their greed.
The current supply chain problem will pass...and then reality will hit the dealers. Best bet is to do your homework and only deal with reputable dealerships...they may be harder to find, but they are out there.
2021 was a record year for dealer profits, despite the lack of new car inventory.

Their actions are shameful...no other way to describe it.
