when you hear "great news', you know youre getting screwed

[@ZLT_90]

I work in car sales. My management is always telling us to say "great news" before presenting numbers. I can't bring myself to say it. It's not only cringe, it also just screams I'm a slime ball. I learn a lot from these videos. There are so many videos on KZbin to help Salespeople negotiate better. These videos help me understand what a fair deal looks like to the customer. I'm all about getting to a fair deal as quickly as possible.

[@stevewardlaw]

One other trick to get them to raise an offer I have seen if you're buying a (New to You!) Used Car. Ask them to explain their Blue/Black Book methodology for how they appraised/valued your vehicle. Then look up what the exact same method would say the car they're trying to sell you is worth. This will often be less by *thousands* and really make them look greedy at the negotiating trough. I've had them move over 15-20% on this tactic alone before, or realized the car I thought I wanted was way overpriced and just walked out.

[@AYouTubeChannelwithNoName]

Nice one

[@pilotgirl5953]

Actually a great idea!

[@simplyeasydiy]

That is never how a conversation goes for me. They would low ball me with the $11,000 offer. I tell them I think it's too low. They ask me what I think my car is worth. If I give them the$15,000 number, they then think we can meet in the middle by way of haggling for the next hour. If I refuse to budge then they refuse to budge and it becomes an exercise in futility. So I just get up to leave after I get the first low ball offer. Sometimes that springs them into action with managers and serious talks around my $15000 and other times they just let me go. Either way is fine with me. The trick I think is to actually be fine with either outcome.

[@laid07]

The one who cares least about the outcome, is the one with all of the leverage.

[@pilotgirl5953]

I kinda agree. you gotta be willing to walk. Know your cars value, know the value of the car you are buying and try for end of month or year. This has worked for me quite often.

[@steviesevieria1868]

@@laid07 it says a lot for models that are difficult to get right now. Like Toyota RAV4 for example. The dealer doesn’t care if you walk because he doesn’t have any anyway and he’s taking deposits for ones that are on the way.

Every time I have had a trade in I go get a hard offer from one of the places that will buy your car from you. Up front I will take no less than that offer minus the tax savings I get for the trade in. The advice to treat it as two separate transaction is absolute. I also pull out my HP-12C financial calculator when we start to talk numbers.

[@AceVenturaXii]

[@jimmysjohn141]

Another trick when negotiations fail and a deal can't be reached is you ask them where the next closest dealership is. Never tell them your name at the start or mid deal but only do it once you're happy with the negotiations.

[@Bonezz024]

So you neglect telling people your name when they introduce themselves? That’s weird af lol

Question: when to bring up the trade-in? When negotiating with the sales manager or the finance manager? I assume it's the sales manager, right?

[@anthonylozano8035]

yeah... I wished it worked out this well but it usually doesnt. Never trade in with a deatlership they will low ball you and at best try to add $500 to $1000 on top of that low ball price to get you to sell that car to them. Just ended up selling my car to a private seller and made much more doing so

[@chiterrapalmer]

I am in the situation now and depending on car factors...not going to make more either way unless its a special car...or!

[@dennisd9554]

I do think if you walk in with a printed offer from CarMax or similar they will try to match it. Last time I went for a test drive and they valued my trade-in the offer was the KBB equivalent of "Poor", even though the real condition was "Good" by all the criteria they list. And afterwards when I plugged it in to CarMax their offer was much higher. Definitely low-balled, but would have been completely different if I had the other offer in hand. Didn't buy from them, but lesson learned.

[@Fred2-123]

My state (Arkansas) rebates the sales tax if you sell your old car within 60 days before or after you buy the new car. Can be sold to a dealer or to a private party.

[@MR3DDev]

What I Did for my trade in: Went to several shops, appraised my vehicle. Then took the highest offer to the dealership and ask "can you do better?". I never brought in that I wanted to trade my car just showed them the offer and the gave me 1k extra over it.

[@texaslovelylady]

Sounds easier

[@spidercj13]

What kind of shops sir

[@jeffhenjes1722]

Figure out the cost of the new car first, what is going to be paid. Then worry about a trade-in. Know what you want to pay either in cash or finance first. If you can't make the sale and trade work inside those numbers, lower your expectations and find another vehicle that works. Maybe the same vehicle in a lower trim level.

[@ryanshannon6963]

The trade is irrelevant to the purchase; that's what dealers want you to do. As a consumer you should already understand your budget, the trade is a completely separate transaction to a purchase. I.E.: the events are *unrelated*. Assuming the sale *to the dealer* for your car works for them, the next purchase is in an entirely different scope: it could be at that dealer, a different dealer, completely different car, plane tickets to Maldives. It's not the dealer's business as to *what* the money will be used for, so why is this transaction *so special* that only funds attributed to a vehicle shall only be used for another vehicle? Shit, *HOUSES* don't even fall into that qualification. The difference? There's so specific regulation and tighter reinforcement of laws that can be leveraged for real property purchases. Much less the required transparency for purchasing a house, etc...Cars are special because NADA purposely lobbies to prevent such in-depth oversight. Also, the fact that Cox Automotive is trying to be the Zillow (but with much greater success, realistically) of automotive valuations that there's purposeful obfuscation between what dealers use for data in determining value vs what the typical consumer has available to them. It's completely one-sided unless you *really understand* how inventory circulation works, financing, as well as Mannheim (also owned by Cox Automotive) shares data with other dealers for IF sales vs MMR values (which are totally out of sync, even among dealers at times). At least with a house it's all public information. This is why whenever I approach a dealership I always start with pleasantries and professionalism, but once the bullshit starts I ask them to be upfront and honest; I understand how the valuations work and what current market conditions are. I know they need to make a profit, but I have no patience for anything obscene. A couple times they continue with the bullshit and that's when it gets really fun in the lobby; when you start explaining to other clients about how they actually use Black book for valuations and Blue Book is just a market funnel for low-ball offers. I then give them sites to look at black book valuations *FOR FREE*! It's usually at that point they want to be big boys/girls and not mess around, or I just walk out and the sales manager starts calling to ask me to come back and I'll be dealing with them directly.

[@normankujawski543]

In California there is no tax savings for a trade in because you are taxed on MSRP regardles of trade in or discount.

[@sseraj2898]

Wow that was an excellent video I thought when u said tax saving i was thinking I will be saving tax on the entire transaction including a new purchase Let me just give you an example and tell me if I’m correct Suppose I want to trade in my Toyota Camry with Acura MDX Camryworth 15 k Acura MDX is for 48k 48k minus 15k is 33 k On 48 k the tax at 6 percent is $2880 but now after the trade in it will cost 33k 6 percent tax on new value is $1980 $2880 -$1980 so I saved $900 in tax. Great

Great runt-through! I wish all the dealers were that receptive! Nissan is still arrogant and plays hardball. They swing for the fences with every sale and would rather lose the deal instead of negotiating.

[@coachdelgado2164]

You forgot about the part where they say brb and leave you waiting for 20-30 min and another guy tries to explain how they can’t go much in value due to condition and then you go back and fourth and then they come back 20 min later again and then say the best they can do is this and then you fill obligated to take the offer because you been there way to long

[@pilotgirl5953]

excellent !!

[@dennisd9554]

Thank you for the info on the tax savings. I didn't realize that it reduces the NET on the new car when you trade in, so that essentially lowers the taxes on the new car. Here in CT, that can be significant because the tax rate on a car $50K or above is 7.75% whereas the tax on a car below $50K is 6.35%. If you're buying a $55K car, having a trade-in more than $5K pushes you into the lower bracket, saving potentially $140 for every $10K of the car. On the downside, in CT we pay a $100 trade-in fee to the state. But I think that is regardless of who you trade it in to, so dealer or CarMax you still have to pay it from what I understand.

[@omarijohnson5236]

Appreciate this information tremendously!

[@goodfellatony84]

This depiction isn't entirely accurate... I've been trading and buying cars for over 20 years ( upwards of 20 cars owned) and I've NEVER had a dealership increase their offer by $3000! I've always negotiated trades and routinely it ended up being $1500-2000 max. Anything more asked for, they would rather lose the deal. This is especially true in the current market where there is a supply shortage of vehicles for sale.

Idk it doesn't seem too unrealistic I just sold a car for 19250 they started at 17000. It only took like 20 min.

Thank you for the offer, it's very generous, but it's low.

[@myvalium1]

Great illustration of the trade negotiation process. I’ve found that the dealer will, at best give you auction wholesale value at the time less the calculated tax savings. They shouldn’t profit from the tax savings, but they know it’s easier for the customer to “break even” rather than go through the hassle of selling independently.

[@notinmyUSMC]

The role playing is very helpful. Thanks much!

Unfortunately, we're already upside down with the cost of repairs and having bought the car at the worst time (bad on our part). Anyway, thanks for all your great educational videos.

[@shackrat2331]

How did you get conned? Did you contact arbitration about your concerns? What color of light was it sold under? Were you at the sale or do you have a "Guy" that has a dealer license? Maybe you should have went to a reputable dealer and paid market price and not worried about fixing a lot of stuff. Were you planning to flip the car? Sometimes your the bull, sometimes you get the horn. CIAO!

[@batsonelectronics]

it is really simple and I used it when I bought a used car 2 weeks ago. Know how much the car you want is worth and know what your car is selling for in the market.You should get their car for no more than market value and they should pay no less than 1000 below your cars selling price. If that 1000 means too much to you, sell your car yourself and hope you get the extra 1000. In my deal, I got them to come down 2K on the car I wanted ( they were 2K above market ) and I got them to come up 2K for mine. ( I walked out and went home when we were 4K off of a deal - they called me the next day and gave what I wanted ) I left around 800-1000 on the bone for them and got proper value for the one I bought. We both got something from the deal. The real trick is be ready to walk away. I went thru 4 other cars before this deal finally worked out. Not having to sell my car and having more to put down ( lowered my interest rate and payments ) was worth it to me.

[@orod-iy7lw]

Last time i bought a car i told him if he can change the tires and ill buy the car, he said no and just got up and left. Dealerships have becomed a manipulative and greedy experience.

Do you think asking for 1k more then what my car is worth is worth asking or should I just stick with 11k if they offer it. I'd be looking at 4700 down but the extra 1k would get me closer to the 6k down-payment and ill just put the extra 300 towards the truck and cover tax and title fees. The jeep cost 23k. And KBB has it listed at around 16-18k private party 14-15k trade in.

Excellent video as always! In Regards to the tax question, the rebuttal and question I would have posed very calmly to the fictional dealer would have been, “What makes the dealer entitled to MY tax entitlement?” Watch them squirm or not squirm and ask to have the value based on the vehicle itself, not the tax savings I am owed and voted for by the state.

[@stevemccooleq]

They would not squirm. The tax credit is given when you trade the vehicle in for another vehicle so it is pertinent to the trade in conversation. "Unfortunately by our assessment the most we can offer you is $14k. But you must factor in the additional $840 tax credit that you will NOT receive if you sell the car to someone else as well as your additional time and trouble of taking the vehicle somewhere else to be bought."

[@Oxios]

@Stevo I'm a dealer employee and sold plenty of cars, but evem I would admit it's still not something they're really trained to deal with. Oh, hey, tax savings. Cool. Notably, I've worked in GA and SC and selling cars there's a lot of customers buying between states. Someone buying a car GA but living in SC would not care about tax savings because the sales tax maxes out at $500 by law. But the car doesn't lose value just by going 10 minutes over the border to another state. The state is providing the tax savings, so the dealer can't take credit for providing it. Nor are they going to sell a car for less to a customer where their taxes are higher. It's not salesmanship, it's a shell game. Trying to negotiate with the customer's money, literally. And fine, salespeople can try to do it, but it doesn't make it right.

[@djbosseq2]

When you tell a dealer you did research on used car or trade in values, they often come back with something like this and ask you...is that an offer to buy? If you do have a good proce, they often give up and say well that might be your best option (selling to whoever gave a better price). Many sites do offer to buy, but many don't. Usually the ones that do buy are lower than ones that are just price/value sites.

[@jeremywheten6674]

So I have a question... I just bought a 2022 chevy silverado custom 2.7L 4-cylinder Turbo and watching these videos, I totally got screwed.

You DO NOT want to do that. First step is to avoid saying you have a trade in. Focus on getting the low cost of the new car.

Toyota, or at least our Toyota dealer doesn't charge over MSRP. It was the first vehicle I have ever paid MSRP for. Oh, and yes I think making the vehicle look perfect is important.

[@MFR22]

That question needs more details. When you say they dropped the ball, do you mean the deal did not get funded? If so, do you know why? Was it the bank requiring more information that you did not provide after the fact? Was it a paperwork issue That they performed to say come in and finance again that could mean many different things. Depending on the situation, they can definitely have you come back in. When you finance, the bank, that actually does the lending can require additional information later. Also, when you sign a spot delivery agreement, you are agreeing that you Will sign certain documents later, if they are overlooked as they are doing their best ability at the time to handle all paperwork, but depending on the paperwork that needs to be signed later, It may or may not apply.

Once learn to deal with OTD price and treat the car you are buying and the one you are selling as two as separate transactions, the process speeds up and the price gets better.

You have neither a moral or ethical obligation to trade your vehicle. What you allegedly have is a "locked in price" for your trade if you do decide to trade it in. All the best, Ray

@@CarEdge well I bought the HRV last evening. F&I and sales woman were very professional. It was actually a pleasant experience and the finance person wondered if I had worked at a dealership, but actually I watched YAA videos. It was so good an experience I have a positive view of buying again from that dealership. I also had to check my attitude going in and prayed a bit about that.

[@CarEdge]

Congratulations! I am so happy that things went smoothly for you. All the best, Ray

I wonder if these guys ever go to a real dealership and show us then how it's done. These play acting a are fine but I want to see a real one and go in their favor.

"Trade in," verb. "Trade-in," noun. FYI from the grammar police.

The cringe of a dealer grasping at straws because they know they’re not the one in control anymore 😂😂😂

[@TheD1a2v3e4]

When I think about that deal I would have negotiated higher on the trade value based on the fact that the third party company was willing to pay 15K and still make a profit. I would have asked the question. How dose the third party company still make a profit by giving me the full 15K? I think 15K plus the tax incentive is a fair price. The tax incentive is costing the dealership nothing that is the governments cut.

Does a trade-in REALLY lower the sales tax on the OTD acquired vehicle?

[@CarEdge]

It does in states where you get a sales tax credit for the trade amount, however not every state offers that credit. Read about it here: caredge.com/guides/car-trade-in. All the best, Ray

How much do accidents impact pricing for real? It appears no dealership will trade-in or buy my 2013 kia optima LX for a decent cost, in fact low ball offers under 4k and I still owe 8k. It's got 3 accidents on carfax ... passenger door one before we purchased and two rear ends since, a month apart from one another. I'm thinking we are just gonna have to sit content with my optima amd drive it to the ground.

[@shackrat2331]

What you owe has no bearing on what the car is worth. It's a 10 year old Kia that has been pummeled like a piñata, what did you think it would be worth? CIAO!

I've gotta ask - why is Ray's race "tan" but the back half of his head so white?

[@UtubeAdviser]

she's wrong. just because you did research on similar cars like yours has nothing to do with what they are offering you. No car online is going to be exactly like yours, fox example mileage, scratches, dents, interior stains, etc.... etc... there are sooo many variables even if you compare the exact same year, make and model. People don't seem to understand this part. If you want to know exactly what your car is worth, go to a privately professional appraiser to get your car exact worth to turn that into the dealer and compare what they are offering.

[@ctrguy9502]

To be perfectly honest, if anyone is into cars enough to even be watching this vid/channel, then why the heck do you not also have the patience & gumption to sell your car yourself for more $$ on the private market?? 97% of the time you’ll get more money selling your car on your own. Please tell me how/why/if I’m wrong.

[@SiegeX1]

Ray, shouldn’t the trade-in discussion happen *before* the purchase vehicle discussion? If you are a savvy YAA member and grind them down on the purchase price and then discuss trade-in, they’ll just make up the difference by low-balling the trade-in price and playing hard ball. If you do the trade-in first and get a fair price, the dealer doesn’t have as much leeway on the purchase price since the MSRP and/or dealer suggested price is already there as a starting point to move down from. Either way you do it, they are going to try to make up the difference on the other transaction, but there is more opportunity for them to make it up on the trade-in, so negotiating that first seems to be in the best interest of the consumer. Do you agree?
