Yeah my buddy was like that. Went out to buy a truck and bought a Explorer Limited Edition Eddie Bauer...WTF? That is why I suggest the online route first...no one is there to bug you or pressure you. You just look casually until you find something. Compare mileage and prices...then once you find something that grabs go to the lot. I am not the person who haggles or anything like that but I find if i go in knowing what I want then all I do is test drive and if I like it, buy it, if not....I do not.
Sorry to keep going off topic
Yes this game is tricky.
