Replying to Why does car shopping suck so hard?

Seriouosly. The most stressful experience in my life so far. My car got totaled out(flood damage) and I am currently without a car so my GF has been driving me around everywhere.

I feel like I am not asking for much. Newer Honda, under $12k out the door. Already preapproved for whatever small amount I need($5000 or less) by my bank and am willing to throw down almost $8k cash anywhere I go.

WHAT THE ACTUAL FUCK? Although I know most of you can't relate since your parents bought you your cars, but c'mon. This blows dick.
