Yeah, most the used car dealers are like that around here. I feel the
same way you do. One family of dealers won't even give you a price until
they get your whole family medical history (slight exaggeration).

I walked out on a car deal once, because after I had asked the guy for
the total amount it would cost so I could call my bank and ask about
payments, I came back and it was like $150 higher for administrative fees.

I told him, "First of all, that's called overhead and it comes out of
your profit. Secondly, you had your chance to disclose that when I asked
the first time. You now have the chance to remove it or loss the sale."
