Back when my wife and I were dating, my vehicle died and I had very little money to replace it. We got on a bus and went across town to a car "dealer" who was known to be a swindler, but cheap. We test drove an old pick-up that obviously had a lot wrong with it, then went in to talk to the salesman about it, thinking we could get it real cheap and then I could work on it myself.
Those guys are slick, but not slick enough for my then very outspoken girlfriend. The salesman kept talking about the monthly payments being low and she kept asking him what the interest rate was and what the total payments over the life of the loan would be. I'm sure he thought that since we walked onto the lot we'd take anything and any terms to drive something off the lot. I'm also sure that the salesman was very surprised when my wife finally got up from her chair and said "I'm leaving." I was, but I quickly said "Me, too" and we left.
We've laughed about that many times since. Oh, and we found a truck that ran great somewhere else.
