There are, of course, exceptions, but I've experienced some form of attempted chiseling with every dealer (new and used) car I've purchased. They operate in their own ethical world. They will say and do anything they think they can get away with, and after you leave, give each other high fives if it worked.
He died (disappeared, actually) years before there were cars, but legendary American cynic Ambrose Bierce defined "conscience" as "that little voice in your head that tells you somebody might be watching." I think he nailed it.
