Buying a Car Doesn't Have to Suck™

[@matttheratt]

I was at a Kia dealership around 2013 looking at an Optima I believe, and saw on the ripoff sticker "ADM $5,000" I asked the sales guy "What is ADM?" He replied "Additional Dealer Markup, we would be selling these at a loss if we didn't charge that!" I laughed in his face and left the dealership.

Unfortunately dealers choose to make buying a car a miserable experience. Apparently return business is not part of their business model

[@edprior2821]

I just don't understand this. I'm in the fortunate position that I could afford to buy a car every 3-4 years but the dealership experience is so miserable that I keep my old jalopy running as long as I can to avoid dealing with the dealer garbage. Had they treated me even moderately decent they could have had a customer for life, but I guess one big profit sale was worth more than five reasonable ones.

[@chrisbarbz9238]

Nah. They've cornered the market (or so they think) and are counting people's impulse to buy buy buy and misguided people are biting. But I agree that's an absolute sure-fire way to turn off a frugal, critical-thinking customer.

[@JacksonWalter735]

For real. My sister married a Japanese guy that she met in college and moved to Japan afterwards. I visited her this summer vacation and she took me to a Toyota dealership to buy her first car there. It was a night and day difference compared to the stealerships here who added a mandatory dealership package addon and a market adjustment price on top of the MSRP when I was buying a Ford Maverick for college

[@AkioWasRight]

That's because return salesmen aren't apart of the business model. The turn over rate in sales and management is high, while they still have to meet performance targets in the limited time they work for these dealerships. This results in people who say and do just about anything to make a sale. They couldn't care less about what you do 3, 6 or 20 years from now. Really, if you're looking to be return customer to a dealer, that's like a woman who's looking for relationship with a guy interested in one-night stand.

Leased my last Mercedes and was in the financial guys office to sign papers. When he printed out the contract for me to sign I noticed a few things. The advertised acquisition fee from the website was $700. My contract said $900 for acquisition fee. I also found I was being charged $300 for the lost key insurance I never asked for. I looked at him and then proceeded to X out those lines. Then I said while you’re printing out a new contract take off the 3 year maintenance fee I was going to buy. You are going to offer that to me for nothing because I’ve bought 3 other cars from this dealership! I then looked him in the eye and said “ if you try to argue or say sorry that was a mistake, I’m walking right now. He didn’t say a word. I signed the papers and walked out with the car. I still have the car 6 years later. I ended up buying it under replacement cost.

I always laugh at myself when someone mentions the paint protection plans because a car dealer definitely got me with that.

[@johnsorensen3831]

I used to work for a Cadillac service department. I encouraged every customer to look at a factory extended warranty. I did this because I was trying to minimize their out-of-pocket repair costs. I had customers that in three successive months they had mechanical breakdowns each between 1500 and $2000 at the time I believe the cost for a 500 deductible was around $1600-$1800. I think zero deductible plan was just over 2000. I further explained that in my opinion getting the zero deductible would pay itself off in a pretty short amount of time, I can’t tell you how many times, customers come back to me and thank me for recommending the extended warranty with zero deductible! My own personal opinion if you buy your reliable car such as a Toyota or Honda maybe, you can skip an extended warranty. It all boils down to your comfort level and your budget.

Installation of non-OEM parts does NOT automatically void your warranty.

You're not wrong especially if you live in an area where the roads are similar to a war zone or you are one of those drivers that doesn't pay attention to craters in the road. I love people who come in and complain about the cost of tires at our dealership not knowing those 22 inch low profile tires can cost upwards of 500.00 a piece. A wheel can cost hundreds of not thousands of dollars as well. Buying these policies are cheap insurance next to what one tire and wheel replacement can cost.

@@shag139simple, hard fact that you may not want to hear but here it goes. Initially, the dealer. The dealer will do everything in its power to decline a warrantable repair in favor of customer pay, which of course is a lot more profitable to them. From that point on out it becomes an admitted nightmare for the customer. You can reach out to the manufacturers customer service or customer care line and open a case. They will follow up with the dealer but whether or not the dealer will actually choose to handle the matter is another one of life’s great mysteries. A manufacturer DPSM or FOM may get involved, maybe they won’t. It may be the judge that ultimately decides but if it’s gotten to that point, you’re talking lawyers and tons of court fees.

I install an aftermarket stereo and my transmission goes, that has nothing to do with it. If it was true show me where toyota makes their own oil, not just putting their label on it. Ill wait... I agree with the rest of what you say, BUT the "voids your warranty" is a huge huge lie. Know your law.

Found a used Corolla 2024 and they for 20,780 and they came back with a price of 32k I immediately started scratching stuff off and got it lowered to 25k and I left still because that’s too much

[@james2004TxVet]

9:32, most dealers add window tint now. Won't let you out of it either.

[@cathyzhang2769]

Yeah, every single thing you said is true and I have experienced my self at dealership.

[@ChuckP25.]

What about Bling Sauce? You can buy that on the internet.

[@jo0123]

I was fooled into taking the extended warranty on my Civic, one of the dumbest decision ever. At least that car still runs fine even after 12 years without much problems.

[@charmedisshe]

I was going to order a manual 24 Kia forte earlier this year, but they broke out the 4 square(strike 1). Then when I asked for the cost breakdown they literally only listed the sales price which was marked up $3100. I walked.

This is why I haven’t purchased from a dealer in over a decade.

[@mz8393]

Only one id get is the tire and wheel. Have had it on the last 3 purchased cars and have used it several times.

[@daxmark9471]

you are so right on this. this guy is so wrong about tire and wheel protection. had it on many cars and it worked all the time for curb rash and tire bubbles from potholes

[@vitaliyprisyazhnyuk7053]

Back in the day i did get the wheel/tire protection but i used it to my advantage. I bought bent rims and went to the dealership and got brand new wheels because of the warranty. But dont reccomend doing that

My honda dealership sold keys for 150. I bought one online for 75 and had dm program for free. Gave me keyless start cause my car was capable but my OE key fob didnt.

Back in the 90s I tried buying a Buick from Gustafson motors in Fargo and the rep Jerry lundegaard insisted I get the true coat paint sealant. After going back and forth for awhile I just ended up caving in.

There are Definitely places to go get new keys and key fobs for way LESS than a ship.

I want to know about purchasing a new Toyota Scienna. Dealerships say they are in high demand, and most dealers do not have them in stock.

[@DevilDog0351]

4:04 You are wrong. WRONG, WRONG, WRONG. Those strobe flashing lights are plugged in. No splicing of wire is needed.

[@elvismotorsports]

Wait... you're saying that car dealers aren't always honest?

[@bikeny]

I'm shocked, I tell you, shocked to hear that car dealers aren't always honest.

[@woodrowbunopaddle]

2:10 I'm confused. That was your business I thought

It probably is but it is a separate entity and it does sponsor his channel

I got stuck with the theft protection but I figured I am paying almost 39K why worry about 299 dollars. Everything else was legitimate and they took money off the MSRP.

[@XX-166]

You got banged

Just to to Atlantic City NJ for discounted corvettes

[@johnsorensen3831]

Basically, check internet pricing and you’ll find many Corvettes at MSRP. I’ve even seen a few with some discounts on them.

My old store sold paint protection but had it applied from a local detail company to apply it. Came with a 10 year warranty.

[@Ray-ys4gw]

You're just trying to justify getting ripped off 😊

@@Ray-ys4gw I mean say what you want🤷🏾‍♂️ I paid out of my own pocket for it at the detail shop they used to apply it wasn't some BS they spray on and off in the car wash

I had a dealership give me an email quote. One line item was called Doc Stamps. Is this the same thing as documentation fee or is the doc stamps a fee hidden within within the documentation fee?

[@Mikeymikesyeah]

Is Protective Vehicle Protection Plan for a brand new car with it? Cost from dealer shows its just shy of $2,500.

[@n0xxm3rcyxx]

i just want to be able to walk in and get the truck and not have to deal with them... im really hoping there will be more dealers that just ship to home or what ever. i know nissan is trying to do it.

What about $ 499.00 processing fees?

Only if you’re not smart enough to say no to it.
