He's an idiot. Even if I had a billion dollars in the bank, I'd still ask for prices. That's just stupid.
I'd have him do the whole thing, then when you go to pick up the car, I'd hand him $50 bucks. Then when he explains that it costs more, then go... "oh, you said, if I asked then I couldn't afford it, so I kept my mouth shut so that it would be in my price range, which is $50".
