Don't Buy a Car Until You Watch THIS Video | How to Negotiate End of Year Deals in 2023

[@MountainAdventures1]

Ray doesn't act like most dealers I've had the displeasure of negotiating with. First, he didn't start producing an endless string of dealer installed garbage, and acting like my car was going to self-destruct if I didn't get all that garbage. Second, his face didn't turn red and his voice turn hateful when he discovered that we would be working below msrp, rather than above it. Third, he didn't pull out all kinds of personal details about his family, trying to make you feel sorry for him.

[@shanedupont9116]

Ray screwed customers for 43 years when he was in the business so don’t act like he is a good guy. The only reason he is telling you how not to get screwed now is cuz he is making money off KZbin videos. I value Ray’s message in these videos but make no mistake, he screwed people for a long ass time and still slept well at night.

@@dontdoxmebroI never said that he shouldn’t make money. All I’m saying is that Ray is not a good guy. He spent 40 years deceiving customers into shelling out more money than they needed to when they bought a car. Now Ray wants to be a hero and tell you how to NOT be deceived by car dealerships. He is not a good guy. He is a snake. How come he wasn’t telling all his clients over 40 years that they were getting screwed if they paid dealer markups? I’ll tell you why……cuz he was getting paid handsomely when customers overpaid and if he did tell them the truth, he would not have lasted in that business for 40 years. He has every right to make money off of “suckers” like us but it’s pretty rich that he tried to portray himself as the good guy that wants to help. He is not that at all.

Negotiate cheap as if you don't really want the car. Negotiate with that mindset and get ready to walk. Plenty of deals out there.

[@herrjohnson8894]

You have to be able to walk away. I've literally had car salesmen (at dealerships, new car etc.) follow me into the parking lot.

[@noesalazar6205]

One thing for you buyers to know is take the selling price of the car multiply that number by the taxes in your city. ADD that to the selling price plus doc fee and divide that by how many months you want to finance. If you can’t make that monthly payment it gives you after calculations then DONT BUY THE CAR. That calculation is before interest

[@jpmvids]

I just recently ordered a new Mazda MX5. I got 2k contribution from Mazda finance, 1.5k dealer contribution an 1.5k more on my trade in than initially offered. I think your videos while helpful in the specifics, give you that extra confidence to ask. If you dont ask you dont get! ~ Scotland, UK

[@Cakebattered]

Great video. From my short experience selling cars, the one event that always triggers a sales manager into negotiating mode, is having a customer ready to buy a car but the customer announces they want the car in a color not currently on the lot. For example, I go to a dealer to test drive a red Mazda CX5, but I tell the dealer I really want a silver one, even though I actually prefer the red one. The typical "Color Discount" may not be big, but it starts the negotiation process in a more positive tone than pulling out black book figures.

[@stachowi]

Just did this with a house... had a pool.... told them i was going to have to fill it in with dirt and landscape... reality was i loved the pool.

[@mcj01915]

Good point. I didn't think of this at the time, but I guess it inadvertently worked in my favor when I bought my (black) Toyota Avalon last year. I told them that I would love the car and buy it on the spot if it were silver, but I'd have to sleep on it whether I really wanted it as it was. Avalons were rare, so not much choice. The next day, I bought it at MSRP, with zero add-ons (not even the stupid mark-up for Nitrogen in the tires, which was supposedly already in there). In February last year, MSRP was a great price. In the meantime, I've grown to love the black color. Not sure whether the hesitation helped, but you do have a good point.

[@jenniferking8956]

I tried doing this same negotiation at a Ford dealer where I live and they wouldn’t budge. They wanted $48,000 for a Tremor spec Maverick that showed as $36,765 on Ford’s website! Needless to say, I rolled out,,, no deal

[@timroyall6513]

Last Ford I bought I had the deal made. Then I told them I was a recent college graduate and was eligible for a 500 dollar rebate from Ford. This really pissed the dealer off. But there was nothing he could do at that point. Similar to this scenario. They still made money no doubt But it was very comical at the time.

[@tommak6516]

The $500 rebate for that came from Ford, not the dealer, so why would the dealer care. After all, if you did not divulge you had just graduated, the dealer could not have even had an opportunity to pocket it.

[@martinroman1588]

Hmmmmm, maybe because the dealer would have found a way to use the factory discount and not a bealer discount. They can't use the factory nut they can offer $500 less on their part.

[@jbrock8596]

Or they were pissed because they had to have the finance guy redo all the paperwork. Since you "had the deal made" they may have started pulling all that together and had to start over. Not that I have any sympathy for the finance guys, not all all. But that might be why they were grouchy.

[@HabitualButtonPusher]

If you know the actual out the door price of several similar vehicles in your area, just use the comparables of real estate principles. The easiest way I have found is start with asking if a dealership will honor or beat pricing of a competing dealership. If yes, good. Send out the exact make, model, year, packages, color you want to every single dealership within a distance you are willing to drive to make a purchase. Have them compete for your business. When you get a deal you like, go back to your local dealer and say “you said you would honor or beat a competing dealership” if they do the deal great. If they decline, drive to the place that gave you the deal you like and buy it. I have been doing this “bid” type system since about 2007 it works great. Do the same thing with a direct from the factory order. Many dealers won’t do it, but the ones that do will compete.

[@mattbushnell4251]

Great info. I hate dealing with car dealers but sometimes they are a necessary evil. I'm the type of person who wont buy something unless "I" want to. No amount of salesmanship can get me to buy something. I have no problem walking away or telling them they are crazy.

I also asked for otd price and he wouldn't on top of raising the price $4,000 from what was advertised on their website. With my research in total they raised the price more the $12k. When I told him that, he would no longer respond 😂

[@XX-166]

Not the stealership you should’ve been dealing with anyway as you see

[@pilarmontejo328]

Same here. Sometimes they prefer not to sale at all than dealing with someone who has done the homework. Such a dirty industry indeed!

[@ericfriedle456]

I like how she did the research. Couple issues that would negotiate better and faster. 1. Have them breakout the rebates from dealer discounts. 2. Don’t deal with a middle man since he said he will do what he can. As I learned in business deal with the people who have the power to make the decision because things get lost in transportation. 3. Ask for more than your willing to accept. They will go back and forth, but you will more likely shoot for less than you ask for and get to what your willing to accept.

[@brandonb2008]

To hell with car dealerships. I now go to a small used car dealer who lets me pick out a vehicle from the car auction and pay him slightly more than what he pays. Will NEVER buy retail again after I saw how much the big guys mark them up.

[@pilarmontejo328]

Ray an Laura, this was a great video. It motivates me not to lose faith this is actually possible. However, Ray was way too friendly and acceptance. In my experience, arrive as a small woman alone to a dealership is like a little sheep in a cave full of wolves. Even if they put you to talk with a baby wolf, HE (always in my experience) will try to eat me alive. And by eating me alive I mean the seller is going to attempt to put me down, bully me, treat me as second class citizen, stupid and less that a person. I am so tired of it. I haven't had the opportunity to deal with a saleswoman yet, but I wonder if she would be a momma wolf too? Not only car salespeople are trained to rip off their customers, their sales style brings out all the sexism, racism, and all the unconscious biases they may carry, and people like me have to put up with it. I am so grateful to Caredge to offer these videos for free. They are eye opener and have help me to be strong again after my first experience buying a car, in which I fell for all their tricks. Now, every time, I go to the dealership and listen to their wolf aggressive techniques, I just laugh internally, remember Ray and Zach's teachings and continue negotiating. I haven't bought the car I want, but I will share my testimony when I get the fair deal I hope to get. Thank you again.

[@alexnutcasio936]

I did F & I. She's the type of ball buster that you love to hate, BUT I'll give it to her, she was good. However, the realities of the (still) current market place for many dealers (I'm talking about Honda/Toyota/Lexus) are that supply is still tight and unless you're looking at an older used vehicle, they are NOT going to negotiate much off the MSRP if they have a HOT car or SUV. ONE good point for any consumer to remember is that when there's a Rebate from the manufacturer to YOU on a specific vehicle, you're entitled to that regardless of what the MSRP or whatever discount the dealers are offering. So, start by taking the rebates (between YOU and manufacturer) right off the starting price. Then, beat up the stealership on the MSRP and try to go into the hold-back because all cars have hold back in them. Typically, start from invoice (available on line) and go from there. Oh, and if there's a BUMP sticker (add on ) and Market Adjustment price, WALK (or run) out of there and don't look back.

[@thomaspollack7307]

Possibly because it’s Toyota, they are not nearly as willing to negotiate as other dealers, such as Subaru, Nissan, and our domestic brands. Toyota, Honda, and Kia are high priced and because inventory is so low, they just won’t be as open to lowering the price.

[@107uptown]

Haven’t heard any one talking about Toyota or Honda “dealing”. The brands are so desirable that dealerships don’t think they have to.

[@labradachi1]

Toyota is like an iPhone these days. Negligible upgrades for a lot of money.

[@randallsmith2360]

A lot of Toyota dealers are still asking for markups but will come down to MSRP when you tell them how greedy and despicable they are and that you have added their name to the list of Stealerships. Even hybrids. I don’t know about below MSRP, though. There are more and more Toyotas in stock on the lots and fewer buyers. I’m looking for a RAV4 Hybrid. MSRP is the best price I’ve found so far so I will probably wait till the end of the year. Or just order a Tesla Model Y. Get it just the way you order it for the fixed price or find one in inventory for a possible discount. No fuss. No Stealerships. After incentives and rebates, they are about the same price. I may break down eventually and pay MSRP but I will never pay a markup. I also will not pay for dealer add-ons like paint protection, door guards, colored or blackened emblems, or Cilajet.

[@steventogami898]

The buyer is in the driver’s seat (so to speak). Don’t pay for unnecessary add ins. Be willing to walk away. Great video!

[@josephprice9733]

Ray, I think at the first of the video that she used verbiage that may decrease the chance of her getting a better deal. First, she showed how excited she was on the test drive, allowing the salesman to see it and mention it. She agreed, saying she "100%" enjoyed it and that she is "thrilled". Secondly she has mentioned that she has had her "eye on this car for a long time" and she's "really excited" about the opportunity to buy it. Would this approach be detrimental to getting the absolute lowest price? I would have thought that we would go into the deal with a more neutral approach?

[@CarEdge]

Typically using words like thrilled and really excited about the vehicle signal to the salesperson that the customer will be an easy mark and in most cases that would be true. However some buyers can share that excitement and still work a good deal because they are informed and are prepared to leave if their desired price isn't met. Having said that, I would suggest that not showing your excitement for the vehicle while remaining somewhat ambivalent often times might lead to a better deal more quickly. Either way can be successful. All the best, Ray

[@jenniferking8956]

I have no poker face and have no problem telling the dealer that I love the car. I feel like that way they will do anything they can to get me to buy it. And I have no problem walking away if I don't get what I want. It's worked several times.

Cash or OTD negotiating - if you can get the dealer to stick to that - it clarifies things; but it was crazy here when I went out looking - virtually all the dealers were doing the payment negotiating and they would not want to even let me look at the car even - kind of would say I'm a poor match to doing business there. So a GM dealer owner (owns the Chrysler dealer now I used to buy from, and surprise Hyundai dealer now) - anyway, the Hyundai dealer manager said "the reason you are being shown the curb at all the dealers you go to is because you want to work off the car price and not payment - and 98% of people are payment shoppers now and we make way more margin and customers are very happy with their low payment. You are a price shopper and if we negotiate on pricing it is actually less profitable, more time consuming, and the risk of walk away is higher. If credit approves "a payment level" we can sell you the highest model, highest margin that payment will allow us to structure. The business manager said - you did not negotiate, I suspect that you just convince us you were right.

One thing to keep in mind is that inflation causes general cash efficiency to be halved every 18 years on average, essentially doubling the price of some items. 4200 became 8400 in 88, 16800 in 06, and 33600 in 24.

Meaning that id have to order the vehicle from manufacturer since none of the dealers have the vehicle with those specs??

[@CarEdge]

You negotiate the price at the time that you order it through your dealer. Ordered vehicles prices are negotiable just like cars that are on the ground. Here is a link to a free guide we did on how to factory order a car. caredge.com/guides/factory-order-a-car. I hope that helps. All the best, Ray

[@ohnomrbill7984]

In this scenario, if Laura had accepted the initial offer, would the dealer have kept the factory rebate for the dealership? Also, the $795.00 "Dealer Fee" was still included in the OTD price. Sketchy toombs, very sketchy... 👍😎✌

[@lisag18]

You always have to ask if there are any rebates. That goes for contact lenses (off topic, I know)

[@TheToyotaMann]

No, typically dealerships don’t get the extra rebate if they sell it at sticker. Dealerships just don’t show it on first pencil so that they can discount the car to make the customer happy without losing any money. If the payments or price works out, it can be a win for the customer who is happy with the price, and a win for the dealership who didn’t lose any money. Everyone walks away happy

Part/Service is the Meat & potatoes of any dealer. The sales is All Gravy

[@leonardhedlund5134]

Excellent! Very informative.

[@mikenc1986]

Im thinking if buying a private seller's truck out of state. Any advice or step by step to do list?

[@shannonschjolin6253]

How do you find the days in inventory number?

[@marathoner43]

I would have gone after the "Dealer Fees". $789 seems excessive to me.

There's a lot videos on buying a car but after covid the game has changed . We need more videos that are current

[@stanleyjeanfeculaguerre2963]

Interesting and instructive video 🙌🏾🎉

[@yuvrajsinghbhatia823]

Hey guys do you have any website that shows for how many days the used car is piled in the inventory for Canadian market (especially Ontario province), would really like that. Thanks

[@garynapoli6244]

Thanks for the great acting. Can you do one with items you would ask to be removed from the price?

[@qtran6847]

Ray, most dealerships where I live always say that they are a "no haggle" dealership whenever I try to negotiate the price. How do we go about this situation

[@Aztahs]

many dealerships in my area advertise themselves heavily as already being at "lowest price", no haggle, no hassle etc. they just come right out and say, "look this is our lowest price". if they budge, it isn't by much at all. I like that a lot if it's actually true. are they telling the truth or is it a tactic?

[@Patryk-y]

i wonder if it really works that way, they told me take it or leave it. they do not care to sell if you are not willing to pay msrp

[@Wetheuntitled]

I’ve been trying to find ways to see how long the car has been on the lot. Where can I check for that and what sort of research should I look into. I’m about to purchase a Toyota Camry trd 2024.

[@tedrik1346]

In my case it was patience..I wrote down the stock numbers of the vehicles I was interested in from the inventory on the dealers website..2 months later if the same stock numbers are still there, then you known they're not selling and have an advantage in negotiating.

[@erik408]

I just bought a new car 2023 and the guy by the end gave me around $8000 discount when we worked the deal of extended warranty, so the discount its there, but the seller doesn't show it to you if you don't fight it and do your research first of all.

[@yellowsnowman9157]

3k off of a 53k msrp is not a deal. I feel anyone can get that discount, but she did well. Role playing isn't fun

[@testtesting2868]

The dealer fee is always a sore subject for me.

[@kentwicker6818]

I would have negotiated the doc fee and would want to see a break down of the taxes.

[@g35tho11]

At what point of the interaction do I ask for a pre purchase inspection?

[@Joe-lj3ir]

Great info. Thanks for sharing

[@EdA-bz3bu]

i had dealers claim GM card cash afterward on the deals that the customers were not aware off.

[@EscapeFPs]

Im so glad I don’t have to go through this crap , we don’t negotiate at all

[@craighannon4532]

always check the kelly blue book before you go

[@carlos-ik1pc]

i thought that was Zack in a wig when i first saw the thumbnail 😂😂

[@Red5.0931]

I usually skip this part but it’s informative!

[@garyfoote3221]

If that is all they are going to discount a vehicle with that MSRP I would walk away. Right now with dealers inventory so high it would have to be 20% off or walk away.

[@The_Turd_Ferguson]

I remember a few years ago the momo at the honda dealership pulled this crap. told them in advance i was flying into town and buying a car that weekend. they were the first ones i met. i walked out after an hour because i just couldnt listen to their rubbish and shell game anymore. Two hours later, we drove home in a new Mazda instead.

[@YellowRoses10]

Great information🤗
