Context is key. If the dealership has been generally difficult to work with throughout the buying process then it's not necessarily walking over just $200, it's quite possibly the argument over just $200 being the straw breaking the camel's back. It isn't just the $200, it's everything that came before it. Only tinmanwpk knows for sure, but it's quite possible the $200 was the final part of the jigsaw puzzle that confirmed that this wasn't a deal that felt right.

Totally, but in that case I'm going to buy the car I want from a different dealer.

wouldn't a hatchback be something like a golf? they're much shorter than a wagon and exclusively FWD based... if you're an avid surfer or skier you'd definitely want the wagon lol

wagons tend to be longer (based on bigger sedans)?

europe has had zillions of dedicated ‘hatches’ for decades. they are shorter but have the greater utility of a hatch area over a trunk.

Sweet...turd brown.
Sorry, but my good buddy in high school had a "turd brown Ford" as it was known. I just can never have (or appreciate) any brown car.
