How Car Dealerships Rip You Off (The Truth)

[@whatsyourdealbruh]

I walked into a dealership and told the sales guy that I was "going to buy a car today". When we couldn't reach a deal and I started to leave he said "I thought you said you were buying a car today." My reply was "I didn't say I was going to buy it here."

When I bought my last car, I negotiated the price of the car first. I said I wasn't sure if I wanted to trade in or have 2 cars. I also had my own financing through a credit union. When it came to my trade, I had already decided I needed $6500. I asked for $8000. They told me they couldn't pay $8000 because they'd never sell it for $10,000. I stood up and said if I couldn't get $8000 I couldn't afford the vehicle and I might as well leave. He played the whole, "let me talk to the manager" schtick. He came back and I got $7200 for my trade. A week later, I got on their website and my car was listed at $11,500. These guys are snakes but it is possible to get a decent deal. I'd say the number one thing is, don't get emotional and don't let your excitement for a new car turn you into a sucker. Be prepared to leave. That paper isn't a contract so it means fuck all even if you initial it.

[@michaelgarro1668]

I went around to all the dealers around here collecting trade in offers for my truck. One dealer had the car I wanted, checked the VIN on KBB and saw it was priced 4k under market value (it's been on their lot for over 100 days), and when time came for trade in appraisal I told them 44k or Im outta here. They finally came back and said they could do 43k. Took the deal. The truck is listed for 45.5 and has been sitting on their lot for awhile now.

I went to a dealership a few years ago and told the salesman that I was just looking for a new toy. He asked what my budget was, and I said $30k max. I didn't mind doing that, because I know what cars are worth, and I've been around the block enough times that I'm not going to get suckered in. We ended up test-driving a 500hp supercharged Shelby Mustang that I KNEW was well over $30k, but I just wanted to see where this would go. Lol... so we sit down in his cube, and he tells me that he can get me into the car for $41k. He tried to pull all kinds of tricks to make me think that it wasn't that much different than $30k (you know, because numbers don't really MEAN anything...). I ended up walking out. He called me for like two weeks after that, and I finally told him, "Look, dude. I was ready to spend 30 grand on something I don't even need. You could have made an easy sale, but instead you got greedy. So now you don't get shit. And stop calling me." 😆

[@WhiteBoardFinance]

LOL

[@johnlyn1]

That's biggest problem with dealerships. Inexperienced sales people that never get proper training. You told him your budget and he's wasting time showing a car way above your budget. A good sales person would have never let you test drive a vehicle that was over your budget.

[@IamBlackMagic03]

Had a similar experience. Saw a 2015 mustang gt with only 700 miles on it. I setup an appointment to test drive. I get there and they immediately have me test drive a brand new 2019 gt and a 2019 roush. I told him I wasn't here for that and he responds well we just want you to see what else was available. So I test drove them and when I was done he asked "so what do you think? Want to talk numbers?"... I said "yeah, on the 2015 i originally came to test drive! I can afford the other 2 but i dont want to pay that. So either give me numbers on the 2015gt or I'm out!". He realized their little try to up sale game wasnt working and threw away the numbers he had the finance guy work up while I was test driving the other two. I think he realized I was on the verge of getting pissed off so tightened up and finally let me test drive the 2015 and gave me numbers on it.

[@johnlyn1]

@@IamBlackMagic03 The funny thing is he was actually down selling you as far it effects the dealership because there is more profit on used than new. They may have had the Roush marked up but the new 2019 GT would have made them nothing since those are a dime a dozen and have little mark up. Used is where they make the money. On average dealers lose between $100 to $200 per new car. They can make an average of $2,000 to $3,000 on used cars. By having you drive new over the used one you were interested in, the salesman was costing himself money where had you bought the new he would have only made his mini deal which ranges between $75 to $150 commission depending on dealership vs an average of 25% commission on $2,000 to $3,000 on used where he could make $500 to $750 commission selling the used vs a mini deal making between $75 to $150 selling the used. Just another case on an inexperienced sales person that was never properly trained.

[@algallego]

@@johnlyn1 Realtors do the exact same thing to homebuyers. Their goal is to drain you of every last penny they can squeeze from your pre-approved lender amount. If you can afford $500K, don't tell them that, if you want a house for $300K; tell them that $300K is your absolute ceiling. Just because you are lender pre-approved for a certain amount, don't max it out, that's just as dumb as maxing out your credit cards for the next 15-30 years and only making monthly payments! Every deal is designed to enslave you for the longest term possible to milk you for everything you're worth to the dealer during that negotiation.

My daughter learned the hard way a few weeks ago. I went with her and was not nice to anyone at the dealership, I knew she wasn’t getting a great deal but she didn’t care- she was happy enough. Fast forward a week- we were waxing her car and she popped the trunk, only to find some lug nuts in a package. She asked” what are these?” “ they’re the factory lug nuts; the dealer took them off and replaced them with locking ones.” I said “ remember those fees I was bitching about? The ones you said I was being unreasonable about? The dealer charged you $495 dollars for those... you could have bought them for $30 and did it yourself.” Point made. Mic drop.

[@eXGaming4u]

I've bought cars for many ppl in my family and I truly believe I got better deals than most folks can. Never trade-in a car at the dealership. Sell the car privately, take that money and use that towards down payment. You're somewhat right on most of these Marko. But I'll give some more pointers: 1. Do thorough research on the car you want to buy. Compare prices between dealers and private sale price for that car. By this time, you should get a ballpark idea of overpriced and good priced deals. 2. I'm going to argue with Marko about "bring your own financing". That doesn't work anymore as most dealership can beat your own finance and use that against you. Ex: You bring your pre-approval that's 4.5% APR. Dealers probably would have given you 2.9% but now since they saw your 4.5%, they'll offer you 4% and say we can give you a better interest rate than your bank! 3. However, do get pre-approved to see if you qualify but keep that to yourself. (carry the pre-approval with you and use it in the END if dealers won't give you better APR) 4. Go to dealership END of the month... maybe last 2-3 days of the month because they are desperate to meet their sales goal. 5. Do not go on WEEKENDS, go on a rainy weekday where there won't be much customers. Which means they need the sale. 6. Like Marko said, never negotiate "monthly payment", negotiate the price of the car. if you done your research, you should already know how much your monthly cost would be. 7. Haggle them in every situation. Offer low price, offer Drive-out price (out-the-door). 8. If they don't give you the car for the price you are asking and you want to agree to what they offered, say "OK, I'll accept that ONLY if you include.. XXXX. That means you can ask for extended warranty, 1-year maintenance, accessories..etc..whatever you want, try to get them with the included price. 9. Never be afraid to WALK-OUT of the deal if they don't accept your price. Either they'll call you back or you'll lose the deal. You'll find same or better deal elsewhere. 10. You control them, they do NOT control you. remember that. You're the one with the power. One last thing, dealership does LOSE money sometimes. They'll sell some cars on negative to meet sales goal and quotas. So yes, you can get an amazing deal!

[@Newzchspy]

eX.Gaming I agree, but at times, trading in can save substantially on taxes since you'll save that $$ off the new car purchase. Do the math before hand. This is particularly true if you're in a high tax state where taxes on new purchase can be 7% or higher. But the key is to discuss and disclose trade , if you go this route , well after you've locked in price of new car.

[@bluecollartrader1791]

That's true on used cars. on new cars, the dealer is paying interest to the manufacturer as if they own that vehicle on their lot. As the interest costs climb, they have to get back that money they've paid in interest to the car company by way of a higher sales price, giving them less room to make a great deal. It's a double edged sword.@MissBttrsctch

[@erichanson3356]

I'd have to agree. Over the years we've bought 2 vehicles from dealerships. In both situations the sales people were actually reasonable to deal with, i.e. willing to negotiate price as well as trade in value and they weren't overly pushy about adding one or anything either. But man it was a completely different story with the financial officers. One of them literally yelled at us because we refused to buy an extended warranty they were trying to to push on us for thousands of dollars. Thankfully I had the experience of knowing my dad once got an extended warranty from a dealership, and it literally never covered anything that broke on that car so I knew they were a waste of money and kept saying no no matter what this person said or did.

@@iamnormal8648 as long as you know their tricks, you can beat this game. here are few tips: 1. Never tell them that you want a specific car. always make it look like you don't care what you buy as long as you have reliable car. even if you are a car enthusiast. that keeps them on the edge because they are thinking that you can change your mind. 2. Always tell them you are only here for quote because you are going to check out another couple of cars from a different manufacturer and you ll make you decision based on that. Then they know you will walk away to look at the car and once you are outta that door they have no control over the situation, so they ll bend backwards to keep you in their store. ( this is the best one because i have used it many times when i went to negotiate with my friends). 3.always arrange your own finance before you go in, but don't tell them that you already have it sorted. because otherwise they ll start to adjust to that straight away. listen to their offer and if you feel like you are ok with the vehicle price, then just tell them you have your own finance. 4. Be friendly, but keep some barrier between the salesman, because they ll try to act like they are your friends, make them work hard for your "trust" question anything if you need to. remember they need "You" to spend your money so they can get their Fat paycheck.

@@iamnormal8648 Also try to see if you can get a good 2nd hand car privately, because a new car is always going to lose money. i have been changing and upgrading my cars almost every year. its my 9th car in 11 years and i always get a 2nd hand car below market value form someone wanting to sell it quickly. it could be that they are moving away or they have other various reasons. so if you can get a car lower than the average price privately, you can potentially upgrade your car every couple of years and still sell yours on a good price since you brought is cheaper to start it. it is a bit of work and requires hunting. but with time and patience it works. just cut dealers out of equation all together

[@jabber8217]

Been in the business for 26 years. While the 4 square is old style of selling, it still happens. And it is designed to beat the 5% of customers not educated enough to see through the crap. As soon as the salesperson or manager presents anything that looks like this, get up and leave. Go home and visit 3 dealers via internet and get your pricing that way. Beware if one guy is thousands lower than the other two guys, he is probably just trying to get you in the door. Then use an online calculator to figure payments. This is not a difficult process. I also see a bunch of comments telling people to sell their car on their own. This is generally a smart way to do it. But there are two things to watch out for. If you car is junk, just trade it in. You don't want or need strangers calling you at all hours of the night and day. Think of your safety. Too dangerous in this world now. Besides, let the dealer take the responsibility for anything that is wrong. If you sell a car that "unknowingly" has a bad trans and someone just shelled out their last $2,500 to buy it, you can bet you will be getting a call from that person. No dealership in the world is going to call you after the fact and want money from you because the used car manager missed the bad transmission. Second, if you decide to sell private party, make sure you get enough over the dealership offer to cover the loss of taxes. When you trade in (in most states), you will also get a tax credit for that amount. $10k car traded in is worth $10,700 private party if you have a tax rate of 7%. I saw someone get $30,000 for their car from me only to sell it private party for $31,000 and think they won. At 7% tax, they just lost $1,100 (tax savings on $30k is $2,100). 85% of all salespeople out there are decent guys and gals. If they are transparent with their dealings, and are willing to answer questions and back up their statements with solid math, there is no reason to not trust them. The really smart ones will be honest. I can sell one person, rip them off, and make a bunch for myself. Or I can take very good care of them, make a little, but then sell the wife, the children, the neighbor, the boss, and even their vet and make a lot more doing it the honest way. And now I have 5 more people passing along my name instead of one going on facebook and bashing me.

Good advice. I graduated in 1973 with a bachelors in Finance, spent 26 years in commercial leasing and lending, then went into subprime auto finance for one of the largest banks in the world for 12 years working with Finance Managers at Dealerships. I'd buy their sales contracts, administer the loan and collect the money, repo it if necessary. I've been retired 10 years and the market has changed because both the manufacturers and dealers have more difficulty moving cars. AlMOST EVERY CAR PHYSICALLY IS BEAT TO DEATH AND HAS NO VALUE AT 84 MONTHS (except for granddad's) It was a stretch at 72 months but the only way to get a payment the customer can afford has been to extend the term of the loan. That means the customer is paying the same rate of interest for 7 years. Auto Finance dealers will accept the trade in as the "down" unless the total of the customer's payments on the trade in car's financing are greater than the Kelly Blue Book Wholesale Value. If that occurs, the customer is "upside down" and he is severely limited in the "amount of car " he can buy. If the trade is used for down, then lenders look at 15-20% of the "if sold" price of the car to be purchased. If you go on Kelly Blue Book dot com and plug in your car's information, they will ask you questions about the condition of your car. They rate it from Excellent down to poor. You'll have a better idea of what the dealer will offer based on the Kelly number. If you have a "beater" car, good luck. When a customer drives into the dealership he may see 1000 cars on the lot. The salesman will qualify him on monthly payment. Let's say it's $400. That means the customer will have a selection of maybe 10-20 cars on the lot that the salesman will try to sell him. if the car lot has 7 used Ford Escorts and 2 used Toyota Corollas, the salesman is going to push him to the Ford Escort. Another factor that determines which car the customer sees is the length of time it has been on the lot. If its been there 60 days the sales manager is breathing down the necks of his people. If the car has been there 30 days, not so much. Based on the credit and payment history of the borrower, an auto finance company will pay from 100% to 120% of the "if sold price" to the dealer. This will cover tax, title and license for the car. The Auto Finance guy will try to sell a Guaranteed Asset Protection Contract or GAP which will pay off the car if you are hit by an uninsured motorist and/or don't have adequate coverage from your insurance company. In some instances, this is not a bad idea if you have a large sales price on a big SUV or a large payment. Some insurance won't pay sufficient amounts to pay off the loan and you're left with the remainder. The Finance Guy will also try to sell a service warranty that will cover certain expensive repair items. The older the car, the closer the attention to making a decision on it should be made. Don't buy "premium lug nuts," "competition floor mats" or "chrome muffler bearings." These are add-on aftermarket profit centers for the dealership. The finance company won't finance them. Read your contract before you sign. Ask questions if you don't understand. The Finance guy will be pissed off but he's making money on you so be ready to walk if you don't like anything. DON'T GIVE THEM THE KEYS TO YOUR TRADE IN UNTIL YOU'VE SIGNED THE NEW CONTRACT AND HAVE KEYS TO THE NEW CAR. If the dealer has possession of your car it puts them in the position to put max pressure on you to close the deal regardless of how bad it is for you. They are adept at ripping arms and legs off of customers. Your credit score will drive your interest rate. The auto finance companies send out "programs" with rate sheets and terms and conditions, advance % and other things that could determine where the auto finance manager sends your deal for pre approval. No matter what the call back is, the finance manager is trained to call the auto finance company to "rehash" the deal. Finance manager training courses spend an entire morning on the rehash call. So, those guys are loaded for bear when they call back. The auto finance manager might put your pre-approval out to 4 or 5 different lenders, depending on program fit and the lender's appetite. Sometimes if a dealer has sold too many deals to a lender that go bad and the car is repossessed, then the finance companies get skittish. Lending company reps are in and out of dealers several times a week structuring deals with them. The dealer says in placing deals, "I'll give you these 5 premium deals but you have to take these 2 dogs along with them." There is a lot of give and take that is always changing. Bottom line, be happy with the deal you buy along with the car you buy. You will have them for at least 3 years (average time between trades) and if either one of them is bad for you, it will grind on you every time you turn the ignition.

[@goneflying140]

You mentioned that a dealership would never call you back on your trade and say something about the condition after the deal. I had one do just that. I traded in a Camaro that had cat claw scratches all over the hood, roof, and decklid. It looked really bad, except when it was wet. You couldn't even see them if it was raining. I had my eye on a Trans Am, and the salesman was calling me daily and bugging me to come in and do a deal. I waited until it was raining, and they gave me what I thought was fair on the trade, so I made the deal and drove away in my new (used) Trans Am. The next day when it had quit raining, that jerk actually called me and told me "hey, this car is all scratched up. You need to come back in so we can re-negotiate the deal because I am going to lose on this trade... I told him I was having buyers remorse, (really wasnt.. I loved my Trans Am...) and if I came back in, I would likely give him the Trans Am back. He said I couldn't do that because I signed the contract. So I told him to go "F" himself. It felt good to get one over on them for once, even though I am sure they still made a bunch of money even with a loss on the trade.

Separate your transactions. You're doing 3 things, not one. You're selling a car, borrowing money, and buying a car. If you do all three things at the same time, you give the dealership the power to leverage one aspect of the deal against another. 1. Do your prep work. Know what your car is worth. Get printouts of the Carfax and Edmonds and Kelley Blue Book values for it. Figure out which car you want to buy (including trim level). Find out the MSRP, the book value, and the actual selling price in the area. Also call a few dealerships to ask what the extended warranty costs. Decide before you ever leave your house whether or not you're getting an extended warranty. Shop for rates on a loan with several banks and credit unions. 2. Go to a bank or credit union and get pre approved for a loan under terms that you're comfortable with. 3. Go to the dealership and haggle down the price of the car to what you're comfortable with. Close the deal and fill out the paperwork. 4. After you have the keys in hand, tell the dealer: "On second thought, maybe I do need to sell my old car. I can't drive them both home. Here's the Carfax on it and the Edmonds and Kelley Blue Book Values on it. I know you need to have a margin in there, but what'll you give me for it?" Be comfortable with walking away and selling the car on your own if they lowball you too much. It's also helpful to mess with them to show them that you're on equal ground. "That's a really nice brochure you've had printed. I bet a lot of people think those extended warranty prices are fixed because they're printed in a brochure. I'll give you $750 for the extended warranty." Whether you end up buying the warranty or not, it shows that you're not fooled by simple mind games.

[@indo3052]

What do u mean by extended warrantys not being fixed?

[@---cr8nw]

@@indo3052, when you buy a car at the dealership, they take you back to the "finance office" to shoe you brochures of what the extended warranties are and what they cover. They often have the prices printed in them. Sometimes, the look up the prices based on the year and model of the car. None of that matters. The price of the warranty is more flexible than they want you to believe. Sure, there's a bottom limit that they can't sell a warranty below without losing money. But that bottom limit is much lower than the brochure price.

- - I agree with your recommendations with one alteration. If you wait until you have the keys in your hand you are missing out on possible sales tax reduction from a trade-in. So, as you said, do you homework on the new vehicle, know what you can get from others for your old vehicle, have a great financing option already figured out before you walk in the dealership, negotiate the price of the new car/truck without any other distractions (I prefer to do over the phone with the dealership’s Internet salesperson), *then* talk trade-in. If you wait until you have the keys in your hand you are missing out on possible sales tax reduction from a trade-in. Hypothetical example: if your trade-in is a 4 year old platinum F-150 FX4 and worth $35K a trade-in might reduce the sales tax by $2,500. Other offers would need to be that much better than what the dealership is offering.

As a Finance Manager for over 10 years. This is entirely accurate. The trade is quite accurate. The trade is alot of time being pinched. Best way of explaining this is your trade vs actual cash value. Alot of time the ACV is higher than what's shown. That's used in what's known as front end profit. The other part of front end profit is Price minus Invoice. Dont believe in invoice is what we payed for it. Dealership have what's called holdback. That's profit built into the invoice. Within the 4 square they also built in what's called reserve. Easiest way to explain that is the bank says your a certain tier. A, B, C, or D. So at A tier they are allowed 3 points. So your banks buy rate is say 4.9 but they get you to sign at 6.9. The profit is called reserve. Hope this helps as well.

Thank you for the info! All of this 4 square stuff is nonsense though.

All I'm saying is that going in with a plan is smart but you don't accomplish anything by being a jerk.

I was a car salesman before I had my own Bubble Tea business, I have to say this video is the most accurate realization of what I did everyday as a salesman. I can see how my customers' brains struggle and overcome the emotions when they buy cars. I will only be buying cars with cash from now on.

I live in the far north. The dealers automatically add paint sealant (minimum wage employee that waxes your car) for $350, scotchguard ($7.50) for $300, rustproofing (they do nothing; the galvanized body last longer than guarantee) for $1500 and free lifetime oil changes. The $2150 added to the sticker price is how they lower the price (even though they have maybe $15 into it), plus the "fake" repairs they find to be done with oil changes adds thousands. I know.....I used to work in one. Their favorite things to "add" during oil changes are transmission lines ($600-700$) and water pumps ($700-$1000). Almost every car that comes through ends up "needing" these within the first 3 years and they always find them during the "free" oil changes.

I have been in the car business for 12 years and did leave a dealership that I couldn't work for because of their practices. Now I have found a home at an honest dealership and have been there for 7 years. It's unfortunate what shady dealerships have done to the car industry because I do love what I do and helping people. The problem I run into now is the stereotypes associated with our profession and the general public's perception that if we make any money selling them a car then they didn't get a good deal. More and more people come in wanting to know what our bottom dollar price is and seem to get offended when we may not be able to discount our vehicles thousands of dollars. I guess I could be more understanding if we could walk into furniture stores, clothing stores, grocery stores, etc. and pay their invoice pricing. I have a family to take care of and pay taxes like the next person, so I think it's perfectly ok for us to make a money selling cars.

Great video, and accurate for "old school" dealers that still use a 4-square. I worked at a Chevy dealer that used them, but at Toyota and at Cadillac we just printed a DMS-generated deal sheet with all numbers, and a section for payment selection which you'd get the buyer to focus on and "select" which payment they wanted. You would then know if it was a "lay down" or someone that wanted to negotiate. In this seller's market though, there is little to no negotiation - the "deal" is if the unit you want is even in stock. My buddy at Land Rover tells people that all the time - merely having it is your deal because many desirable models are selling way above sticker this year, and allocation is razor thin to replenish what they sell.

As someone who works at a dealership, yes all of this used to be true. Some things are still true, but a lot of dealerships have switched to non commissioned sales. This means they no longer care about profit rather than units put out. The most profit I’ve seen now on a deal (I’m in finance) was max 2000 on new cars. Also our finance department does not allow us to mark up our coverages like crazy. Most of what he’s saying is true but does not apply to every dealership. Do your research on who you plan to buy from then go from there.

[@joonlee30]

I respectfully disagree. Recently between my family members and friends, 4 cars were purchased in the last 2 yrs. All 4 times, the dealers talked our ears off for hours on trying to get us to buy additional warranties and products. For example, they offered my friend a $3000 dollar car care package. My friend said no for 45 minutes and they eventually lowered price of that deal to 700$. Car dealers are scums who prey on the weak minded people.

Go to dealership on Sunday, take a picture of the VIN and car. Go to your credit union and secure a loan. Sale your car based on the book value and use that value as your down payment. Then pay off the loan in under 30 months, closer to 24. Best bet is to find the car you want that's four year old and get that. Save up and pay cash. Cars are such a rip off.

[@ProjectXJ]

Or just pay cash... if you can't afford the car don't buy it. You will save money buying an old junker and putting money into it, over buying a new car and not spending a dime on it. Just compare insurance rates and registration. My vehicle is a 97 and my wife's is an 07. I paid $85 for one year registration for my wife's car and $65 for 5 years for mine! Insurance is only $98/year. Compare that to the $300 per month for a new car plus $600/year registration and $1,000/year insurance. My yearly cost is cheaper than your monthly cost. I can take the extra $420/month I am saving and fix up my old car!

The key to buying a car is get a used car that is 2 to 3 years old. New cars drop in value a lot after the first few years. Next, put down a down payment or do a trade in. The less you finance the less you pay back in the long run. Now if you're really being smart keep your old car that is paid off and put aside $250 to $300 a month (imaginary car note) and sit on that for 12 to 24 months and go by a used car straight up. No debt or no monthly payments.

[@chad1755]

Never do a trade-in. Sell it privately. Dealerships will offer you $500 for a car that you can sell privately for $2-3 grand. You might as well give it away. Everything else you said is bang on the money. I start saving for my next car the day after I drive home my new one.

Use a finance calculator for payments and look at the difference in amount of interest you'll pay on a 60 month vs 48 month loan. I would never do a 72 or 84 month loan, some cars don't last that long and then you're stuck with payments on a car you can't drive. Also had a salesman give me a quote no trade, then a few days later got a quote with the trade in and the numbers were exactly the same! They weren't giving me anything for my trade in.

Like rust protection they'll charge you average $2000 at least 5yrs ago. But if you go directly to the rust protection business it's about at least in my area $300+ $600 depending on car size and if you also want the inside of your cars floors and trunk done.

I wish I saw your comment months ago. Think that small edge would have stopped me from being pressured into some bullshit vehicle I didn't want.

This was amazing. I am in the process of buying a car and this gives me way more confidence about understanding my decision. Thank you, Marko.

[@justacinnamonbun8658]

You need to understand that FICO does not determine anything. Leave FICO alone, stick to buying good used cars, with cash. Never buy new, new cars are a poor value proposition. Don't follow the Joneses, if you do, you'll be right behind them in bankruptcy court. If you're not a car guy or mechanically inclined, develop a good relationship with a trusted neighborhood mechanic, they usually charge a small fee to inspect a car before you buy it, paying $50-$100 for a thorough inspection can save you thousands of dollars in expensive repairs down the road.

I’ve got great credit so I always get 0% or like 0.9% max I like to lease as well. I bring my wife she haggles the fuck out of the dealer. Haha I don’t like to but I think she enjoys it.

How to buy a car: 1. Pay cash or 2. If financing any amount is necessary go through a credit union for low rate

[@studentthe1560]

But do not tell them up front that you are paying cash. Otherwise, you will alert them that they cannot screw you in finances. Bottom line, the more transactions you give them, the more chances you are giving them to screw you over.

[@123hotdog111]

Thank you Marko for this video. I don't buy trucks often but I have this video saved and every single time one of my friends talks about buying a car, I send them this video.

What IF you buy car with cash? And they lower the car price?

[@CB-nr2nk]

If you are buying a car, you should care about one thing. The amount you are paying. If you are concerned with the other three, you are not in a financial position to buy a car, or you are in a position to be taken advantage of. Sell your car yourself, get financing from your bank at a low rate, walk in and eliminate this silly 4 square nonsense.

[@firstlast-cs6eg]

You could even buy the car from a individual and not a dealership. Buy and sell outside of any dealership unless you want and can afford a new car. There is also the possibility of simply using public transit, car pooling, and/or a bicycle combined with finding work closer to home or moving closer to work. Also make sure grocery store is close enough. Cars are money sink holes no matter what, (insurance, gas, maintenance, tabs etc) finding ways of going without one is always worth looking into.

[@theenchilada1525]

@@firstlast-cs6eg Pretty much. A car is not an investment. But a petrol head like me will enjoy then.

6% is lower than 16%. Price isn't the only factor

[@insidmal]

@@WrapperOfflineFan204 exactly... one dealership gave me 34% interest, I didn't care because I was paying mostly cash and would have the rest paid off within 3 months.. but a year later another lender gave me 1.9% ..people will argue all day over $1,000 off the sticker price but not bat an eye at paying triple that when the dealership marks up their interest by 1.5%

[@oneofthepeopleintheback5645]

Not only that... simply multiply the monthly payment by the term length to see how much in interest you are forking over.... It will open your eyes as you will see you've pretty much bought a compact car with the interest alone!
