    Trying to buy a car - knew exactly what we wanted and had negotiated prices before coming in, buying all cash. So far it’s been two hours and they’ve tried to check my credit twice (?)

        It’s remarkable how many companies get away with being borderline openly hostile to their customers

        All of my mentions, “Why don’t you just buy a Tesla?” You think I would be sitting in a GMC dealership if I could afford a Tesla?

        OK, so nothing crazy fancy. You've got the leverage with cash in hand and the ability to walk away if need be.

        Why are they checking your credit if you're paying cash. I'm guessing you're wondering the same thing :-)

        Indeed. It’s frozen, so they’re not getting anything, but shouldn’t need to, and so far as I know I didn’t authorize it.

        Maybe Elon will just give you one when you create a pool of candidates for him to pick talent from for his businesses.

        Walk out. Find another dealer. Or buy a used car and skip the dealer entirely.

        Did you have to provide your SSN? I resisted it when I bought my last car but they would not agree. I wrote a personal check to pay for it.

        The auto lending industry is significantly more notorious than other types of loans because most people transact through a dealer and they can make up whatever process they want. Generally, it's 5-10 simultaneous hard credit pulls. Lucky to get away with 2.
