The point is, the car salesman is in charge of too many things. His job
is to find the buyer's hot button (low finance rate, good trade value,
whatever) and play to that while jacking the other items around--all
toward the end of making the sucker pay the same amount in the end.

The car salesman does this several times a day. The buyer does it once
every few years. Who do you think wins?

The only way to prevent this from happening is to separate the deals, so
that no one person has any more affect than any other on the entire
deal--no matter what the buyer's hot button.
