Dateline and other dealer scams....

Did everyone watch the Dateline special on dealerships on Friday night. Everyone say it together: "I will negotiate the price of the car - not the payments. I will be approved for a loan before my purchase."
Anyone want to keep the ball rolling and alert us to other dealer scams?? I'll get us started:
1) You trade-in your car with 60K miles and the dealer deducts $600 for reconditioning because you haven't had the 60K mile service done. On the flip side - a week later a buyer sees your car on the lot and the dealer says: yes, I know the car is priced slightly ABOVE the book value because it JUST had the 60K miles service done. Get it? They screwed the first guy out of his trade-in by $600 then screwed the next guy who bought the car and suddenly they made $1200 in extra profits and all they did was rotate the tires and change the oil.
Now your turn....
