Quoted from centerflank:

Exactly, I would have never wasted any drive time to haggle with this this dude after the initial phone call of the price raise.

And he's being nice about it. I've already deleted 5 different posts on what I would have said.

The more I read the original post the more it seems this was a scene out of Beetlejuice.

Quoted from too-many-pins:

Years ago I bought & sold Lionel Trains and when something like that happened I would contact the seller back ASAP and tell them now that you have wasted my time it is worth ---- to me. In you case I would have said $3800 cash and kept on driving. Sellers that play games deserve to have the favor returned.
So in your case I would have pulled over and grabbed something to drink or what ever and about 20 minutes after he called you I would have called back telling him "now that you wasted my time & gas it is worth $3800 to me. If you want me to turn around you have 5 minutes to let me know or I will not come back regardless of price".
Odds are you would still have driven home empty but at least you could have given the guy a taste of what he did to you.

Waste another 60 minutes round trip to get peace of mind? LOL. You all have way too much time on your hands.
