Tried this buying a used car a few weeks ago, but didn’t work. Still spent money on some stupid crap (pre installed lojack, door edge protectors) to get the car I wanted.

With supply chain issues, cars are not very negotiable right now. Supply chain issues notwithstanding, used cars are trickier to negotiate because you can't go to another dealer and buy the exact same item like you can with new cars.

It sounds like it didn't work in large part because you actually weren't willing to walk away (which makes sense in a lot of cases; if you need something and don't have a good alternative, you may reasonably choose to accept a worse deal than if you were indifferent).
