BUYER BEWARE! How A car Salesman tricks you into buying a car.

[@soulwarrior2177]

Rules of engagement! 1. Get your financing before you go car shopping! 2. Never trade in your vehicle! 3. Focus on the price of the car not the payments! 4. Do not buy any of the extended warranties or any of the extras they pitch to you in financing! 5. Walk away if they will not give you a fair price!

[@jerrylundegaard2592]

Advice with begins with "never" is always flawed. For example: While a person should always know what financing they can get from their bank or CU, the smart move is to always allow the dealer a chance to arrange financing. They have many sources. They can and often do provide the best rate. Think about it, what is there to lose? Nothing. The buyer can use their bank or the dealer's arranged financing. Regarding the trade. In most states the value of the trade is not taxed. For example, in a state with a 6 percent sales tax rate the tax on a new car would be less by this percentage applied to the value of the trade. This can often result in the difference between trading and selling privately being relatively immaterial.

I just bought a car from a dealership, I went in defensive after seeing a lot of videos like this one. While I'm sure this is true in a lot of cases, I had a great experience. Agreed on a fair price and that's what I paid, with no extra tricks or b.s.

[@joeandrews8842]

Found a really nice used car and signed all the paperwork and even had the tags switched for our car to the one we just bought. Only then did I notice a defect in the paint down low on the side of the car. Turned out it was traded in with the damage and they ran it through something of a clean, prep and repair activity. I immediately said we have to renegotiate and I'm cancelling the original deal. They said wouldn't do that. I told them to lower the price by 2k and they said no deal. We walked. I told the wife we would have a message on our phone when we got home, saying they'd accept the deal. (before cell phone days) Sure enough, they called and said they'd do it. I told them before I left not to bother calling because once we leave we're not returning. Found another car at another dealership.

Last time I bought a vehicle (a mini-van) I did a lot of research online looking at inventory online, looked up how much my car was worth. So when I finally found the van I was most interested in I drove out there stood in front of the van I wanted and waited for the salesman to come out. He came out asked me how I was doing and I told him, before he could ask anything, was “this is what I’m here for, can I test drive it”. I test drove, loved it, told him it’s what I wanted to go for and... I still love my van and zero buyers remorse. So yeah, totally skipped a few of those steps. LOL.

Each time it was less than 10 minutes, and these were 50-80k vehicles he expected me to buy with that short drive. Car buying sucks here.

[@jonbarnard7186]

My advice. When negotiating price with the salesman, always insist on "net to customer" or "net" plus tax. The biggest trick in the book is when they start adding numbers once they've got you hooked. Oh there's a fee for this, and a fee for that, and there's clear coat I didn't factor in, the windshield is engraved for security, or there's a "business office fee" (my favorite). Only talk about final net price to the buyer. If they try to add stuff on later, stand up and walk if necessary. Don't put a cent down unless the offer or contract clearly states "net price' or something like that. Write it in the margin if necessary and get the sales manager to initial it. This will save you a lot of grief later. And for god's sake don't buy the scotch guard, or the undercoating, or the clear coat or any of that bullshit. Modern cars don't need any of that stuff.

The last time a car salesman tried to talk to me about "monthly payments" I walked out the door. That was over 17 years ago. I've purchased 2 cars since then. The first was negotiated over the phone. A year after the purchase the Blue Book value of the car was more than I had paid. More recently, I researched online, got quotes from dealers, then went onto the nearest dealer and said "If you will sell me this car for this price, we have a deal." First, they said no. I didn't say anything, then they said yes. A year and a half after the purchase, the Blue Book value is greater than what I paid. Last time paid cash.

[@DSKSeattle]

I negotiate for a living and I can already imagine a way to sell you a car. Your style of car buying works for you because you’re analytical. You like to research the crap out of products that you buy and take forever to make a decision. It could be a camera, a car, a home, a movie, or even dinner. This is what you have to do to feel comfortable about your purchase. In your normal life, you’re probably neat and organized. This also explains why you’ve only bought 2 cars over a 17 year period. A savvy salesman would need to instantly recognize your personality type in order to sell you a car. There are also people who make purchase decisions purely on emotions. These peeps will clash with your personality type because they perceive you as slow while you perceive them as reckless. To close a sale, you have to make the customer feel like they are winning. And it usually means making them feel like they made the decisions and they got the last word. For analyticals, it means giving them all the data they want to make a decision; for emotional types, it means making them excited about the car. The latter doesn’t care about getting the “best” deal in the entire state as long as it’s a good and fair deal and the car makes him happy. The former needs to think she is getting the best deal in the universe. Understanding this will make you a better negotiator. If you know how to hide your personality type, even better.

[@izz5946]

... you need to relax the hours you put into research over a dam car is ridiculous, you think your so cool because you made it so the sales guy could maybe earn $50 ... your not anybody's friend either not even chevydudes friend your just pure selfish and egotistical in the end you cant get those 10 hours of research back. Smh research an hour or so find out the going price for that type of car then try and find one... you get what you pay for... you people think you are so smart, and will get the car that is missing many features and if not remember one thing your never winning if someone sold you a car its because they wanted to... you cant beat the dealer as they know what they paid for the car and you dont... if it's not a good deal dealers wont sell it... they rather wait for the next interested buyer...!

[@tayanacf]

^ Tuh! Why should she care about being a car salesmen's friend. You sound salty because she's a well informed consumer that did the proper research and negotiated good deals for herself. While we may not know the specific factory invoice price the dealership paid for a vehicle it is NOT difficult to ascertain the average dealer's cost for your desired vehicle in your specific region. You sound like a bitter car salesman angry because certain consumers refuse to be taken advantage of.

I am glad I watched your video. It has reassured me Not to buy a car. I would like to buy a new car but just watching your video stressed me out and I just cant handle that type of stress anymore. Thank you

[@groovy9125]

Mike, good video but I would NEVER talk trade value (#5) to a salesman until I nailed down a price on the new car. As you know, way too easy for dealerships to manipulate the numbers between the two to let you “think” you’re getting more money for your trade. And, I would NEVER talk monthly payments. A smart buyer will only shop price, not payments for obvious reasons.

[@groovy9125]

“Honest Dealers” is the operative expression here. Most buyers, including myself, don’t really know which dealers are honest or not. When I buy a vehicle, I only deal with the fleet/internet staff and make an appointment with them. I never subject myself to the over eager/hungry salespeople trolling the lot. However, I disagree that you (or anyone) could get out of me my intention to do a trade-in or not. A simple reply like “I just don’t know Mike, I think my sister wants my car”. And of course I never give my keys to anyone unless I nail down a price for the new car. You sound like a straight shooter though, and I would definitely do business with you if I were shopping a Chevy and lived close. Here in Arizona I went to test drive a car a few months back. I learned a lesson that day. I gave the salesman my license so he could make a copy. He “made believe” he “forgot” to return it to me before the test drive. I insisted he go back inside and give it to me before the test drive. A ploy obviously to get me to come into the dealership to introduce to his manager, and try to “sell” me. In the future, I make my own copy of my driver’s license and let them have that.

[@mixflip]

I asked to see a truck under $30k at a dealership. They said sorry dont have one but we have one at $39k. I said ok call me if you get another one better fit for me.

as a salesman, I always used the introduction of, "Hi..my name is Allen williams < I want to thank you for visiting our dealer today, how may I help you? If they said, we are just looking, I said, That's fine with me, I'm just selling!! Usually that gets a laugh, breaks the ice and we are off into finding out what they have in mind. I would ask them to take a moment and come in to my office and sit down and tell me what vehicle they thought they needed based on their needs. We might talk size of car, or what they want to spend, do they have a trade-in...I would let them know I was working for them and had their interests at heart. This is how you become the best salesman at your dealer and get many referrals in the future. A good salesman will find the products that best meet your needs and take is time showing you the benefits of each model that matches. A good test drive (don't let the salesman play the radio, they are usually covering up something they don't want you to hear.) Drive the car in traffic and highway speeds to check ride, handling, and road noise. This guy is right on the money with how a dealer works, I worked for dealers for 37 years. (mostly as a Parts/Service manager and the Finance Dept.(don't finance through the dealer, you will always pay more than your bank will charge you). Don't buy gap insurance, a good 5 star mechanical warranty that extends the original can be worth while if you plan on keeping the vehicle over 5 years. Get the price they will sell you the car without discussing your trade-in, then once you have the price, tell them to evaluate your car and give you the price they will pay, then you decide if that is wise for you or sell it yourself. (many small used car dealers will pay more for your car so try them if you don't want to hastle with selling it through the internet.) Good Luck, and stay calm. Don't give them a monthly payment you will be happy with, they will get all of it and a touch more...LOL.

$500 a month for a CAR is usually based like you said on $20 per $1000 financed, for a 50K car. I have bought quite a few new and "fresh out of a 2 year lease" cars and have seen the payment structure range from $13 to $20 per $1000. I think you left out some other critical variables like city, state, bank rates, no trade in and no down payment, and most importantly length of finance. I have seen some dealerships selling cars while they're still on the delivery truck, and others that barely sell enough cars to keep their doors open, it could be all about location. Are you talking about a 3 year loan, no trade in, and no down payment?? I have been offered up to 7 years with very low interest rates and have walked away with a payment I was very comfortable with. After getting the monthly payment that I wanted, not what the dealership wanted, I overpaid every month, eliminating a lot of the interest and boosting my credit at the same time.

[@Auburn-wl7eu]

When I buy a car I go to my local credit union and get a loan, I also know my credit score, I know what kind of vehicle I want, I check the internet for the best price, I get a good idea on what my trade in value is, I talk to the sale person in a respectful manor, than you talk about price try to get the best deal on your trade in or best price on the new car sometimes both. Than when you go to the fiance do not buy any extras like undercoating or extended warranty. Make sure you look over the contract and ask any question about it before you sign it. Than keep the car for 10 years and do all the proper maintenance. If it is a used car take it to a mechanic to look at and get a car fax on it.

[@paulgallant4830]

Your reference to the shoes reminded me of a time I went with my father in law to purchase a new Cadillac. He was a farmer with considerable assets During the negotiation process he mentioned to the salesman that he was just a poor farmer and he needed to get the car at a significant discount. The salesman looked at his shoes and said “poor farmers don’t wear three hundred dollar shoes. So, you are right, you can sometimes rate a persons wealth by the way they are dressed !

I'll agree somewhat with your motto. It certainly is fun looking for a new (to you) car. The rest of it, not so much. I hate taking my truck to the dealership, because there is one salesman who is like a vulture. First guy out the door trying to sell. Sad thing is, he ran me the wrong way a couple of years ago, enough so that I have no urge to purchase anything off that lot. Here is the thing, and I know it runs salespeople wrong, when I do look around a lot, I am genuinely just looking, for the most part. I like cars, and there are just times when I want to go physically look at them.

[@colingoldthorpe5918]

We bought a new Mini from the Edmonton Mini dealership absolutely the best car purchase process ever made, zero hassle and they gave us a Mini to drive around for an hour we took it for a spin grabbed a burger, went back and bought my wife a beautiful Mini convertible. The sales person was a lady, so she had no attitude no ego, she was a true professional. We dealt with a used dealer in Calgary for a Mini Paceman ALL4 TurboS the car was spotless, and the roads were brown melting slushy snow, the sales guy said take it for as long as you like. We came back it was really dirty and apologized, he said it was fine we bought it on the spot and paid $20K in cash. I find North American dealers are just way too pushy and in your face. We keep our cars for 10 years at least, then sell them ourselves on Kijiji. Thanks for the explanation though, it makes complete sense now from my visit to Red Deer Hyundai, it took them 45 minutes to get me a price on a car in the showroom by that time I was already out the door...

[@devildog6698]

Do like I did, went to one dealership and got their best price for the vehicle I wanted. I then walked out and called another dealership and quoted them a price that was 800 less. They beat it. I then went to a third dealership and quoted a price 500 less. They agreed to beat it. Then I contact another dealership and told them a price that was 300 less. That salesperson asked me if that included tax and title. It didn’t, but I said yes. The said they could beat the price by 300. I bought a 35500 truck for 27800 out the door after taxes,fees, etc.... and this was before all the big rebates were offered. First vehicle I ever bought that I was completely happy with. Kept it for three years and traded it in and lowered my monthly payment on the new truck by 86 dollars a month because of all the equity.

[@Geckogold]

If you're worried about your car's trade in value, take it to Carmax first. They'll take around 30-45 minutes to check it out, and then give you an offer for the vehicle based on its condition and local market prices. You then have 7 days to decide if you want to sell your car to them, or just let it expire, after which they'll have to appraise it again. In some cases Carmax will give you more money than trading it into a dealership will, and is much less of a hassle to deal with. But like the video mentioned, most people tend to overestimate how much their car is really worth, especially if they didn't take very good care of it. A car with records of maintenance done on schedule and wasn't smoked in with kids tearing it up will likely be worth more than one where the check engine light is on, the windshield is cracked, the engine runs rough, and the car steers a little bit to one side.

[@rexkicks_270]

I bought my car in colorado springs (a used SUV) we reached an agreement but the seller used step number 6 after 2 days I realized that I was scammed, I had 7 days to return the vehicle without problems so I did, I went to another dealer and the seller really helped me with my purchase, thanks to you I am now more prepared as a consumer for my next purchase!

[@crimestoppers1877]

Mike I hope you read this comment! There is one more very important variable from the customers viewpoint that is extremely important to 90% of customers but it was not mentioned in your presentation. You know the story from your momma " Lie to me once shame on you, lie to me twice SHAME ON ME!" I am not buying just a car or truck. I am buying TRUST. DO I TRUST YOU! So far you have mentioned many reasons NOT to trust salesman, but there is a bigger issue. In my recent case, I was tired of wasting hours, days, weeks months and YEARS attempting to have the new car that I paid CASH for repaired under many FEDERAL and state SAFETY RECALLS. My transmission has been completely replaced three times with normal driving and few miles! WASTE OF MY TIME! A bicycle would be better transportation!! So I took my car in after weeks and more weeks "waiting for the proper parts". I could not legally drive the car on the street ie SAFETY RECALL. The clutch slips, the car won't budge when I am trying to accelerate on the freeway. So I thought all of this manufacturers ( Ford Focus) cars can't be THAT BAD? WRONG! Yes my research on the internet and lots of unknown attorneys letters I received about DEAD customers say "THAT BAD" ! Yes this design disaster goes on and they keep selling cars KNOWING THIS FACT. Here is what I WANT! I want a car and dealership that I CAN TRUST, FIX IT RIGHT the FIRST TIME. I don't want to file lawsuits and wasted hours fighting a DISHONEST system. HERE is my BEAUTIFUL low MILES POS car ...you have it here in the shop most of the time anyway. I'll trade you directly for SOMETHING THAT ACTUALLY RUNS! NO DEAL! Instead I get the "Turn Over" treatment. Please explain MY TIME IS VALUABLE TOO. No more T.O. system of blah blah blah and fake promises. YOUR ( Ford) dealership PROVES I CAN NOT TRUST YOU. And I look around and you are still selling the same crap to more suckers. This crap happens with MOST American vehicle manufacturers. It is time to be RESPONSIBLE AND HONEST. I have had similar issues with HONDA's Don't sell cars that can not be on the road safely! You as a dealer should be able to sue the manufacturer for FRAUD and criminal syndicalism. THEY know the car is BAD but sell it anyway. 12 YEARS of Ford FOCUS clutch and transmission problems. ALL BUYERS are NOT Liars. I just want to trade some money for a car THAT WORK . It is NOT about the price BUT TRUST. Prove it!

[@matthirn7858]

Well, you are providing information from the perspective that as a salesman you are being an advocate for the buyer with this video, but the reality is that the dealership wants to make the deal that is the most profitable for the dealership while still making a sale. So, how does the consumer get a better deal? 1. Sell that used car on their own. They will get more for it. 2. Fully research the model and features that they want before going to the dealership. 3. Visit the dealership only if you have to for the purpose of test driving to ensure that you want the vehicle and state up front that you are there specifically to get a demo of features/driving experience of your specific model. Walk away when done. 3. Use a third party resource to discover the dealer's cost of the vehicle. 4. Call every dealership in your area and tell them exactly what you are looking for (make, model , year, features). Tell them that you are not coming in to the dealership except to sign the paperwork at the end of the deal. Shop on the last day of the month and at the end of the year if possible. Let the dealership know that if they can beat all the other dealerships you will definitely buy from them today. This lets them know that you know what you want, you are strictly shopping on price at this point and you will move quickly if they are the low price leader. The salesman is there to make money for the dealership, therefore it is in your best interest to limit your exposure to salespeople, sticking to your fact finding when you do interact. This can make life easy for Chevy Dude. All he has to do is to beg his manager to throw every incentive available at your offer so he can log a sale without having to do all these steps in his video.

I use sites like TrueCar and get prices for the car I want. Usually get quotes from 3 dealers.

Before I went to the dealership, I had the price I was going to pay for the new truck (Ford X-plan, so I knew to the penny what it was going to be), I knew what the KBB/NADA clean trade-in value was on my trade...so all I told the dealership to do was to get me to the number I wrote down and I would sign.

Kyle M search for dealers that will beat the x plan price and have them compete if you’re shopping in a big enough market.

[@annafraser8654]

I have a question. When you sell a vehicle and you have a customer with very good credit 800+, do you shop or try and get the best possible interest rates available for your customer at the time of the purchase or does your finance manager/salesman just take the first bank offer? And if he just takes the first offer is there any advantages/disadvantages for the dealership in just taking the first offer offered? Reason I ask is I recently purchased a new truck and I had at the time over an 830 credit score. First time I ever did this but I didn't check what rates he got me and he got me almost double what I had secured through my credit union. The reason I didn't check was because the business manager claimed he would beat the rates I had secured. Needless to say when I finally did check, I was not happy. I ended up giving the dealership and named this manager by name as the reason for a bad review. Other than this part of the deal, I am completely happy with my purchase. I ultimately did his job for him and refinanced the load for half of what he had got me. Saved about $40 bucks a month in monthly payments, and over the course of the loan about $2,500 dollars.

[@Rubie_the_Black_Widow_Subie]

My last purchase I had my preapproval in order, hours upon hours of research, and contacted the dealership before heading down. I told them I liked one specific car on the lot. I showed up a few days later with my Tundra. Stepped inside and was immediately greeted simultaneously by three salesmen. I told them I’m looking for X and we’ve already began working out a deal. They said great and got me connected. I then proceeded to tell them my lender will only release the title for $8K.

2 ways to handle this one. 1) I take both sets of keys, if they "lose" the key they are given, I have the spare, and can still walk out and leave. Before you leave, demand they find the "lost key, and deliver it your house within 60 min, as they are liable for anything that may happen to the car. 2) they want to go with you when you check out the car they have and demand the keys when you are done driving the car. Do the same with them! Do you give the keys to your car to total strangers and let them drive it? That is what you are doing at the dealership! PLUS, you can talk endlessly about how nice your car is and how it is worth lots of $

What ended up happening?

[@JohnDoe-pf6qp]

Not really going to work. Most dealers these days require originals and scan them with a license reading device that can verify it's not a phony ID. It's a liability insurance requirement.

Thanks for the video Mike, one question; with selling cars, following up with customers, making videos and reading all the comments do you ever get a chance to sleep? Thanks again, it is refreshing to find some transparency in a business where there is so much suspicion of being taken advantage of.

Buying a new car is one of the biggest scams going......right next to life insurance

[@workingshlub8861]

agreed..certain types of life insurance..whole life is a rip off.

That’s nice that you make it easy because usually I want to go home and sit in the shower and cry for a bit it’s horrible and exhausting and regardless they will sell you the car they want not the car you want they all make you settle on a lesser trim level even if you are willing to pay the extra money in your payment

Buy from a Fleet Manager and get your own financing.

[@richteritwan]

Mike. Love your videos. I drive a lifted truck with aftermarket wheels and tires. My question is can you do a video explaining how best to get the most from a really nice 3 - 5yr old truck? Not a lot of info out there for guys like myself who have chosen to "level" or "lift" our trucks. 2014 Nissan Titan crew cab 2WD lifted 6"

"He wants to SELL YOU A CAR" sounds just like "Let me put you in a car." I know you guys worship Glengerry Glen Ross, but that mentality and language is what turns people off of car dealerships. That big smile and "I'm gonna put you in a car" attitude immediately puts people like me on the defensive. If you want to move the industry forward remove the "let me talk to my sales manager" peons, aggressive trade-in negotiations, and number games. There's a reason people put car salesmen next to attorneys and politicians in levels of trust. We know we are going to be lied to. Personally, I'd like to remove all the dealerships and just purchase the vehicle straight from the factory with a set price - no number flubbing or games.

[@ramonbecker252]

There is one of my hometown dealerships they take you straight to sales manager once the salesmen sold you on a car then the sales manager talks to you directly to negotiate price.

[@bobfishnut]

Just like Ford sold them in a Sears catalog many years ago!

[@TheSoulMan11]

My new SUV cross over is luckily 403 a month lol. My old car payment was 250. Great channel

[@ADDwithJTC]

My payments sound much more like yours. He sells Chevy but payments sound like BMW.

[@ADDwithJTC]

Doing the math on what he said I think the interest rates are just high not the price of the cars. And of course the dealer tacks on more interest than the bank says. That's why it's better to try to get your own loan first.

[@theirishman088]

just bought a chevy suv with 1st payment down and $200 a month.... When a sales guy tells you he is all about the truth keep looking for a salesman rule #1 of a consumer. I work for a dealership and have 20 years experience and if you can honestly say a 500-600 lease payment for a silverado is ok.... you live in a mansion if anyone buys that bs. Tell the sales person what you want and what you will pay for it and if they don't want to do that deal they are begging for that day they will be calling the rest of the week with the number you want. You really have to push and be willing to walk.

[@izz5946]

wow your really misleading people with this comment, not everyone can get a 200 or 300 payment.. if you got 200 it really depends on alot... what discount and rebates where available at that time you may have had 5k or 6k in discounts and rebates then what was your down payment was it $0 or $500 or $4000 ... and who paid your taxes and dmv ... was that all included for $200 a month really!!!! what state you live in is it 3% tax because in NY its almost 10% taxes alone would be $200 a month on a 24 month lease.. bruh... stop lying to people in this comment.. for $200 a month you had to have a 800 credit and have taken the $4000 discounted DEMO truck with $4000 in rebates.... yes $200 a month is possible but there is ALOTTTTT of info missing in your comment... i can get a $99 a month lease if leave $15,000 down payment with only 5000 miles per year lease for 3 year...!

@@izz5946 I'm more then happy to reply. Not misleading at all but what is misleading is the dealership and what they say before you come in just to get you in. Trust me. Now you're not going to get a 19 Silverado for $200. I didn't work at this dealer also. The equinox started at a lease of 300 before any paper work was started with my credit. Do you really feel like the dealership/gm would be ok with 1 dealer saying "we are the honest dealer" leaving the rest to be lying? This is another way of getting you in THEIR dealer and feel free to pay 400 for a 200 ride. I put 1st month payment and taxes into the down payment and that was all and A plan. Not many rebates for 1 of the best selling cars.

[@theirishman088]

@@izz5946 but BRUH if youre in the market I have a 99 Taurus for the low price of $450 a month with 9k down lol. I can tell you're a math wizard and I couldn't fool you so this is the best I can do. Do we have a deal?

[@izz5946]

@@theirishman088 🙄😆😁 im far from a math wizzard but common sense, is all you need $200 a month is for a Corolla .... why do you not state your actual down payment amount? and did you trade anything in that had good equity BRUH its almost impossible... but there is always way if you shopped on new years eve around 6pm and they needed that one truck for there a yearly bonus of $150,000+ for the dealership selling X amount for the year and yours was that final number needed then yes they would probably Pay you to take it... sometimes they buy there own last 2 o 3 unit to make yearly quota .. so it is in very rare circumstances...!!! there are so many variables of doing this... but not all are available at all times
