Default Car yard frustrations

Hi guys,

Not sure if this is normal or not as I don't often go to a car yard unless buying new. I went in today to a well known ford yard to look at an f6.
I had been eying it off for two weeks but had not had time to go out. I drove out to have a look and took a car in that I was considering trading in. The young sales guy I was with was good and laid back.
Anyway his body encouraged me into his office and I waited there while they told me what my trade in was worth. They gave me an ok price. This is where it goes bad.

He said something about wanting to do a deal today. I said I wanted to do something this weekend as there was one other I wanted to look at first (there are not many out there but I wanted to see the other too or at least think about it as I did not want to put money down on the spot. I asked about log books and wanting to see them but they seemed more concerned with getting my money than anything else. The car was pretty rough and they said it had just been traded. I knew that was a lie because I had been eying it off for about two weeks. I said I would let them know over the weekend and asked for a drive of the car. They said they only do test drives for people who are ready to do a deal that day. I got really frustrated and said I would not buy the. At and would not return there again. Is this normal behaviour for a used car dealership?

Unless it's something really special I will stick to
Private sellers in future where possible.
