every tactic of the con man taken to an extreme.

After a couple hours my parents finally came to the conclusion the car they were waiting to test drive was not being washed, it was not being "filled up", it was not out on a test drive with another customer, it simply did not exist.

my parents walked, but I can imagine how many other people fell for their con.
I realize allot of stealerships operate with sleazy tactics, but cal worthington's lot took it to an art form.
