Ah... I see... mine never mentioned it, but then again the credit was pretty new back then.

Frankly alot of people have never even heard of the AMT. It really only started getting news this year. Its likely he had no idea. I'm not saying that if he knew he would have said anything... but I doubt he knew. Most people had no clue until it hit them.

If you think of it that way without knowledge its not much of a bait and switch. I'd try to give the dealer the benefit of the doubt on that one (you have to do warranty work somewhere--hopefully their won't be any of course) and level your anger at the government for a crappy tax code (for as much good as it will do ).

I'm not saying dealers are all honest... far from it... I have some stories about a dealer here in MI and one in VT that will prove that.
