My worst car-buying Buying Experience Ever

[@lokorancher3463]

Car dealers hate their reputation but live up to it daily.

[@aaronbritt2025]

I have a dealer's license. I've bought and sold over 100 cars myself personally, not including through the dealership. When my mother recently needed to replace her car after it was totaled, I had to take her to over a dozen dealerships in Vegas and So. Cal. before she finally bought a car. Every single one was gaming me like I didn't know what was going on. This was AFTER telling them I had a dealer's license and knew all the games. When are these managers going to learn... You make more money by selling more cars at a smaller margin. It seems all they care about is their $$/unit. I make about 20% gross on most of the cars I sell. That's it. The reason is when I list something for sale, I want it gone in days, not weeks.

[@aaronbritt2025]

@@jl4091 You can still make a lot of money not playing games. If you gotta play games to make a living, you're not very good at sales. Being good at sales doesn't mean making the highest $$/unit. It means selling without much effort, without playing games, and earning repeat business. Keep in mind, a lot of people watch a few youtube videos and then say they're in the biz. Doesn't mean they actually have a dealer's license.

[@HP-mx6jb]

When my daughter was looking for a car during covid, it was a joke how much they tried to add BS add ons. They figured someone would pay 3 to 7k over sticker. They still have that mentality today. We were able to find her a car at the last stop. She paid sticker and got the car with a 500 off for college and 500 off for a new car buyer from toyota. The crazy part is when she went to finance the car, they tried to get her with the wheel warranty and extended warranty before she signed the paperwork. The payment was 350 a month before we took it off. She pays 289 a month.

[@darrylbarger3795]

As a former Controller of a large Dealer group, Navy Federal Credit Union is very hard to collect for their drafts. On the back of the draft there are 3 pieces of info that has to be perfect. Then, they take their own good time to float the draft amount and find every possible reason to delay funding the deal. That part of your frustration is hopefully understood. We routinely didn't book NFCU deals until we were funded.

[@jackalope9001]

I used to work in banking and all the Dealers had runners that went to that bank and got an official check from that bank, while they were "prepping the car" for the customer, and then just deposited all the official checks.

[@allovottijr6262]

When I was in my mid 20's, I went to the local Ford dealer for a super duty. The sales manager said I couldn't afford it, and kicked me out. Came back one hour with a briefcase full of cash, put it on the counter, and said "F you, you lost a sale of a $50,000 truck" That was a lot of money then.

You guys are missing the point. He knew what questions to ask and he asked exactly how the deal would work. They changed the deal once they got paid. When he asked about delivery, they should've told him about the 10 day hold. He is right to be outraged. I only blame him for not cancelling the deal. In his videos he repeatedly says if your not getting the right deal, go elsewhere. It's painful to see him not practicing what he's been preaching.

@@MrLandolph71 very true. Especially an Audi. They are dying on the vine

[@ka-fs5fn]

Never deliver a car on a draft check. I’m a Porsche dealer for +8yrs handling big transactions all the time in the biggest metro in the country. I know you think you know everything in the business but sometimes it’s okay to take a step back and listen as a check can be cancelled anytime. Even a cashiers check. Unless it’s a wire, a check (cashiers check, bank draft or anything) is held for 7 days till it fully clears. If you’ve delivered 500 cars upon just receiving a draft and never was burned, then good on you but all it takes is one to learn your lesson. The only mistake I see here on the Audi dealers end is not disclosing that part upfront as I do everytime so there’re no surprises.

[@ka-fs5fn]

To add, even a wire can be revered but only possible upon the recipients approval. That’s why a wire is safe.

[@nyc8452]

My general feeling is that industry folks also don’t like being gamed by their own kind. When Mike called up and insisted on speaking to ‘their best salesperson’, that could be interpreted as arrogance on Mike’s part. Then at some point they may have realized he’s “Chevy Dude” and figured that he’s probably going to talk about this on his channel, possibly with a click bait title, “I went up against Audi’s best salesperson and this is what happened!”. In my industry, there were two types of insiders. The easygoing types who know the game, made it easy and were fine with ‘fair industry’ discount because they make their money during the week. Then there was the other type who thought they deserved everything at cost because they knew how the game worked. I’m not sure which angle Mike was going for but asking for 5K off because of a delay in payment sounds grabby and opportunistic. At that point I would have offered him his money back too.

[@frankievalentine6112]

[@TougeGrandTour]

This guy also said in the Corvette video how dumb people pay way over sticker, just so they can get the car earlier than everybody else. 10 days and he is already complaining. Dealers these days are afraid of being scammed, so that's why they want to wait until the check clears.

Is waiting on a large check to clear that strange?

[@nyc8452]

Genuine question. Isn't it good practice to wait for draft checks to clear? A lot of people assume that draft checks are as good as cash because they're guaranteed by the issuing bank. The problem is though, that they're forgeable and every bank has a different check. Would you know what a genuine Bank of XYZ draft check looks like? If you hand a forged check into your bank, it will still go through a vetting process where the issuing bank could say, "Nope, not one of ours" and the seller would be out of luck. So a dealership receiving a draft from an out-of-state buyer and waiting for it to clear doesn't sound like the strangest thing in the world. I understand that Mike might have already agreed the process upfront so his frustration is probably justified, but in general, draft checks aren't a safe bet until they've cleared.

[@tboneforreal]

Yeah, but they obviously looked him up and knew who he was, so he wasn't just a nobody from out of state. It also shouldn't take 10 days for a draft check to clear since the whole purpose of a draft check is that the funds have already been verified and set aside for the check. Once the bank verifies the check is legit, it just becomes an electronic transfer of funds. It should take like 1 or 2 business days, not 10.

[@jackalope9001]

I used to work in banking and all the Dealers had runners that went to that bank and got an official check from that bank, while they were "prepping the car" for the customer, and then just deposited all the official checks.

[@jackalope9001]

Including customer's official checks that they brought into the dealership. The runners would come into the bank, cash them out, and then issue a new official check back to the dealership to deposit to their account.

[@jackalope9001]

An official check is guaranteed funds by that bank. Unfortunately, they are easily forged so companies people decline accepting them as guaranteed funds. This is the law though. Most people don't understand the law and how to fight it. If it happens to you need to make a complaint to the Comptroller of the Currency for a bank official check and for a Credit Union draft check you would make your complaint to the NCUA/National Credit Union Administration. What they are supposed to do if they think it is fake is call the bank/cu and verify it a valid check and accept it or call the cops if it's fake. They can fax or email a copy of the check to the bank. Larger banks have departments that handle that stuff instead of a branch. To much fraud, people don't know the laws, or care about the laws.

First they denied any knowledge, they they admitted it, and even said they would buy it back from me - for $10,000 less than I paid. I complained to Audi USA, but they refused to do anything.

No offense but sounds like to me because of your experience you feel you should be treated a certain way. You immediately brought up taking $5K off a car because you didn't like the experience. Yet, you've had customer do the same thing to you, which you've done videos on, and you think that is absolute ludicrous of them to request. You yourself also said you don't negotiate price, and yet you tried with them. I mean I do agree they should have disclosed they do not release the car until checks clear, but isn't that standard practice with dealers? Especially on such an expensive car and check? I did have a dealer release to me since they called Navy Federal and get a clearance number from them guaranteeing the check. So they could have done that. But, you've even said at Bachman y'all did that to make sure checks clear since there is so many scammers out there. I think also with your experience you could have and probably should have asked that question. All in all to me sounds like you started off wanting special treatment, asking for the #1 salesman. Besides buying a corvette and asking for the special corvette salesman, to me you came off entitled immediately. Plus in your videos I can clearly tell you feel your way is right and that your stuff don't stink, so I could only imagine dealing with you. Instead of professional courtesy I could imagine you demanding and saying well I'm this and that, so you should do this... But to me, if that's your worst car buying experience, then I say you've had some pretty good ones.

[@flyjets]

I've always found it strange that there is so little protection for consumers when purchasing an automobile. There are countless predatory pricing laws and anti-gouging laws across this country but but some reason it's an accepted practice when it comes to car sales. When two differnent people can walk into a dealership at the same time, purchase the exact same vehicle (same trim/accessories, everthing), and walk out having paid wildly different prices, the system is, in my mind, unethical and should be illegal. When a savvy/educated customer may be able to negotiate a decent deal but a less educated, perhaps overly trusting person can be horrendously ripped off, there needs to be changes. I've always wondered why legislatures, at the local/state/federal level never seem to address this issue. The whole thing is a colossal, out in the open scam, and no one seems to give a dam.

If you have the money and want an Audi, go for it! Don't listen to the naysayers. I bought a new 2014 CLA250 for daily use and faced plenty of criticism, from claims that it's not a "real" Mercedes to it being the cheap or unreliable option, and expensive to maintain. However, after 11 years and 135k miles, it still runs like a champ. Other than replacing the thermostat, it's been incredibly reliable. Plus, with a tune since 52k miles, it still does 0-60 in under 6 seconds.

Twenty years ago, selling Audi in a metro area market we (salesperson) managed the entire sales process including finance and delivery. (No finance manager).

bro this was 100% on you you used a check from navy federal this is not the same as a certified cashiers check funds arent cleared immediately you know this it needs approval from navy fed and if done incorrectly the check can be reversed you know this as well as anyone so dont throw anyone else under the bus that dealer did everything right protecting themselves your just complaining for views

I had a similar horrible Audi experience when I went in to buy a Q8 and came out with an e-tron that I let them talk me into (my fault for letting them). It was my 4th Audi and I had bought from this dealer before, but this time it was horrible. By the time I got home with the car, I was so p****d off that every time I looked at the car I was furious. 25 days later I just couldn’t look at it so I took it to the other dealer in town and traded it in on a new Q8 that I love. The difference in treatment between the dealers was like night and day. I can’t say enough bad things about the first dealer. Obviously, trading in the e-tron was a terrible financial decision, but I’m glad I took the financial hit and just moved on.

I must be weird...or boring...or both. I drive only older, cheap vehicles. None are fancy. They get me where I need/want to go...nothing more. When they break...which isn't often...I fix them myself for $.20 on the dollar. My bank accounts sport ear-to-ear grins. I don't care where I park. I don't care about road salt. I don't care what people think about me, based on what I drive/own/wear. I like it that way. Very much, actually.

Well he needs to spend over 100K on a car that will be worth $50K when he signs the papers because their dogs need a new car to ride in, the wife told him.

[@sawyermartin4434]

Dude. You work in the industry. You've worked in the industry for years. You've dealt with "problem" customers before, many many times. You threw a temper tantrum & tried to re-negotiate AFTER agreeing to figures for a vehicle just because a dealership, who is located out of state, wanted to wait for your loan draft/check from Navy Fed to clear before letting you take delivery? Do you have any integrity? I have been subscribed to you for years & enjoy most of your content, but use your head bro. In what way could you ever spin this story to make it sound like it is anything other than you coming across as an arrogant buyer with next-to-no integrity? I'm not unsubscribing because I understand that this video was done solely for the purpose of being a cash-grab (catching title, consumer-advocate vibe that appeals to many, trendy thumbnail, etc.), but this is seriously disappointing to me, & probably any of your other viewers with even a shred of common sense.

I tried a 3rd party dealer, terrible, i didnt buy, never again will I step foot on those type of lots.

[@vollandt]

I've only done a few new car deals in my life, and can't relate to that experience being particularly bad. I did a similar new car deal, sight unseen, agreed over email that show up with a bank draft, my temp tags and be driving off with the car. I sent them a picture of the the bank draft. We both used the same bank and where known by the same people at the local branch. I specified that the car exterior not be prepped and protective film be left in place, as I do my own detailing. It all went bad. After I showed up, they wouldn't let me take the car because the local bank had already closed. I left with my bank draft in hand.. I came back the next day, they wanted me to give them the bank draft before bringing the car out. I held firm and didn't give it to them. Finally they presented the car with but with exterior prepped and hacked up the clear coat by over buffing. I had to walk away from the deal in the end..

[@cousinjohncarstuff4568]

If an out of state used car dealer sends him a draft, he would ship out the car to that dealer the day he gets the draft and not wait for it to clear? When I saw the title "being Duped" I was expecting one that been damaged in transit and poorly put back together, Not him complaining because the deal did not go according to his time line...

[@stephenr115]

I stick with those I know and have done business with. I bought a Suburban RST from you for example and several cars from Rick Conti. No messing around. I wanted a Ranger Raptor but a Texas outfit jacked me around so much, all I could do was realize that the only place I will do business is with the pros. Thanks to guys like you and Rick. Rick recently sold me an absolutely stunning Silverado High Country. So, Mike I get what you are saying. Stay cool Dude. Stephen Rapp

[@robhunter2435]

This is why I am not interested in buying a vehicle.

[@Sad2B]

So, butthurt because you had to wait until your checked cleared, and they followed their policy?, then you didn’t get $5000 off, fore reelzzz?

[@GEORGIABOY23]

I have a question. You say big dealerships lie to customers and you said you worked for one for a long time. Did you ever lie to a customer or mislead them?

[@shawnwattles5556]

I think its an Audi culture thing right now. Whenever I take my car to either Audi dealership in my area for service, they treat me like I'm an interruption to their day.

Every car dealer that make claims the "WE DO THINGS DIFFERENTLY" does things the exact same as every other car dealer...

[@williamconrad1087]

bought a car 1000 miles from home. My cashiers check was 100 high. It was Sat evening they wouldn’t give me the difference and said do you want to comeback Monday. I had the keys and all paperwork so I said yes and drove off the lot with my new used car. Yes I sent the correct amount when I arrived home 3 days later.

[@JUST_ONE_ID10T]

The trust factor is anyone could act like they are you trying to scam a dealer. They are doing the 11th commandment. Covering their own behinds.

[@Travis25601]

I was trying to buy a Lincoln Continental and the dealership said that if I didn’t buy it… somebody else would. That still irks me.

When I bought my first new car in 2020 (it was just an Hyundai), I asked the finance manager if I could pay with a personal check. I was so surprised when the finance manager was more than happy to take the check, and sent me home with the car the same day.

[@jackalope9001]

I used to work in banking and all the Dealers had runners that went to that bank and got an official check from that bank, while they were "prepping the car" for the customer, and then just deposited all the official checks. That way you don't see it or get offended. They verified your check was good and withdrew the funds from your acouunt/bank before they gave you the car.

[@johnholmes2808]

Unfortunately, you may be the only dealer with this philosophy. I haven’t purchased a car from a dealer in over 10 years. It’s always a nightmare.

How bad it is that my only wish is that the dealer is telling the truth? They list the correct mileage on the website and aren't posting scamming listings from the beginning. And then, after I go to the dealer and find out the mileage is completely wrong, the car has visible damage also not listed, I complain, and they still don't update the listing.

[@tjnelson5182]

We have a dealership here in Owensboro ky that treat you so bad. Went in to buy a car. The car was not cheap that I was looking at. They kept telling me that I should look at cheaper cars. Would not sell me the car or give me the time of day. I went the next day and bought one from a Chevy dealer who treated me great.

[@E864Moore]

I have been watching you for years. I honestly dislike you after this. As a dealer and someone that doesn't have to brag about 7000 or so deals. You would have done the same thing with a out of state buyer common courtesy or not. Sounds to me like you made this very hard in every aspect. As a dealer and I would have told you the same thing as you had already said that you couldn't find very many of them. So i would have took the gamble and sold it to someone else. GLASS HOUSE BIG MAN.

[@geraldbennett7035]

They were shopping the car while you had a contract. I would never buy an out of state car. I would never pay and wait for delivery. In todays (last 4 years) market I would never order a car from the factory.
