I never spoke to him again, so I don’t know. Dealt with the sales manager after that - was very clear I was not going to put up with that garbage again. The sales manager called a week later when he got a nice clean used car in that he thought I would like.
I finally discovered by accident that it’s way more fun to buy a car when you don’t need a new one and don’t care when/if you make the purchase. That is their nightmare scenario.
My friend bought a Forester last year and loves it.
BTW you’d think it would have scarred me for life, but I took my driving test in a 1969 Pontiac Bonneville station wagon. Not sure who was more shocked when I got it parallel parked on the first try - me or the trooper.
