How to Become the Customer Car Dealers FEAR THE MOST

[@davesxd45]

I walked out of a finance office yesterday! My wife was mad, but i wasn’t going to pay for the ‘ blinking rear light’ dealer add on. They wouldn’t budge on the $400 ... so I walked. Thanks YAA

[@ElJefe-zu4ee]

I blew up a 4Runner deal over 400$ and one day later they called back and we did business. I was extremely respectful when I passed on their initial ‘final offer’, I gave them a opening to meet my terms.

[@MrJeepin88]

We walked out of the finance off last week without even knowing about YAA interest rate was way too much for an 807 credit score, as we said no multiple times the interest rate started dropping but we were there for 5 hours and burnt out on it and the sales person thought for sure we were buying the vehicle washed it filled it up with gas and started the free xm radio Price was not where we expected at all so we left

[@ElJefe-zu4ee]

@@EdwinC-xp8mk the added 799$ for Simonizing and I refused to pay anything for it, they lowered it to 399$ then I still said no. They said deal was done then, so I walked. They called next afternoon and said they’d do the deal at MSRP and I got the add for zero.

[@marcymcsheehan3579]

LMAO, they don't need you. There is something call supply and demand. 5 years ago they were begging you with thousands of dollars off. Today you are begging them to pay thousands more. Get over yourself you aren't that important and neither is your business

[@jakesmith2393]

I bought a used car yesterday. There was a $1678 charge for “reconditioning”. My wife and I said we weren’t paying for that bc that was on the dealership. After a couple of “ let me go talk to the manager”, we negotiated the dealer actually doing the reconditioning without paying for it. It took some time but we used more “tactics” from this channel to frustrate everyone involved in out transaction. Thank you so much for the information to empower us customers.

He taught me to be prepared, polite (but confident), and never be emotionally involved (even if I was super excited about my new car).

Having worked in law enforcement my entire life, and 10 years of that in investigations, I was trained in interview/interrogation techniques. When I negotiate with a car salesman I am always amused at how similar the methods used by the salesmen are to those I was trained to use in an interrogation.

[@jenhofmann]

One of the interesting psychology aspects of the second scenario is that the buyer had a notebook she can reference. Sales managers are used to calling the shots, presenting the menu, etc. When the customer looks at her notebook, the manager looked stressed because she lost control of the situation again and again.

[@ElJefe-zu4ee]

Kudos to YAA! I just got home with my new 4Runner and I’m 100% convinced YAA was a huge difference maker in me getting the deal I wanted. I feel like I got away with murder. I can tell you that I had to play extreme hardball and it required me walking away from a car deal I waited 5 weeks for, but they caved and gave me a steal of deal (in this market). I got MSRP, no add ons at all and they thru in a dealer add on I refused. The education YAA provides is mandatory if you want to purchase a vehicle.

[@meme-yc4ks]

I mean really its kind of simple. Just say no. No, I do not want the extended warranty for 4300$ that will try to get out of every bit of coverage they possibly can if something does go wrong with the car. No, I do not want the paint protection. I ceramic coat my own cars. Just say no. If they continue to push simply walk away.

[@ElJefe-zu4ee]

@@meme-yc4ks but you have to be prepared to mean it when you walk… otherwise you nailed it.

MSRP is not getting away with murder. It's not getting a deal. You just got screwed less then those paying over MSRP. People, don't let "at msrp" be the norm. That should be the starting point and work down from there.

Always be ready to walk out. I walked out the other day and that salesman was literally texting, calling and begging me to come back an hour after I left. I was a little surprised in this market that they were so thirsty but there is power when you don’t need a new car but only want one.

Thank you guys for everything. I walked into my deal more equipped. I kid you not when I started asking questions and pushing back. They actually got me out of the dealer way faster than I've ever purchased a car. It was a fight to even show me the invoice, but it validated everything you guys said. Magically the addons that at first weren't optional became an option and they even gave them to me for several hundred dollars less to try and distract me lol. Even down to the finance office it was funny to see them squirm. Thank you guys again. I walked out with a good intrest rate and a fair deal on a vehicle they had no incentive to sell and would've otherwise marked up.

[@bethyodog11]

Amazing! How did you go about convincing them to show the invoice?

[@98ws6m6cvert]

@bethyodog11 I ordered my vehicle so they were more inclined to show me. We were arguing over the price, because of course they tried to do a bait and switch with the price. My trucks original order price was 88k. When it arrived the price increase from the manufacturer 96k. They thought I didn't know that the price is locked when you order. So I asked for the invoice to prove what they paid. It shows msrp and all. Even though my window sticker showed the higher price. The invoice showed the pricing msrp. Which is the amount the dealer paid.

arguably the best content yet, got my heart rate up. HATE this stupid game so this info is gold. luckily I can wait a bit and hope these greedy dealers get hammered soon when demand ( hopefully) falls off a cliff soon...

[@tonyirrera7067]

The best way to set the mood for a successful negotiation is to use this phrase for the salesperson ( male or female ) when you sit down at the end , " tonight you are going to either have burgers for dinner or steak " , I guarantee the sales person will be thinking about it and they will act accordingly. This works more times than none, and puts you in control, and takes the cockiness out of that salesperson.

I made that offer knowing my credit, budget, down payment and the model and options I wanted. Denver metro has a huge inventory of every make and model. Thanks to Car Edge I saved 8% off MSRP. I took a model that had been on the lot for over 90 days and I financed with the dealer if they would match my bank for 48 month. Dealer #2 responded within twenty minutes with a counter offer. Dealer #3 responded with a yes and a 😊 and asked of I wanted to schedule a time to come in to do the deal. It was simple, 2 hours no hassle because I was informed. Thanks to Ray, Zac, Kimberly and Laura.

That video series was great! - In today's Market - How did Laura know to stick to the 30k price from the original 33k MSRP? I didn't quite understand how she could legitimately stand on that. Would you find the dealer Invoice price and then come up with an appropriate percentage above that? or was there a fictitious dealer incentive that she knew about? Obviously the dealership still needs to make money to even consider the deal. I don't think the profit of the gap insurance would of been enough.

I’m sure that does get annoying. The reality is if dealers don’t have low prices listed from the start, then people don’t show up or call.

So they do their best to be competitive with pricing.

We are elderly and are ordering a 2023 Ford Maverick on Aug. 16th when ordering reopens from a new Ford dealership. The people that have the dealership are not new to the car business and have run the premier Cadillac dealership in town for years and have a stellar reputation for customer service in our city. The dealership they bought out, dealt exclusively in Ford Trucks from F-150's to F-650-750's plus Volvo and Mack. They are in the process of building a new full service Ford Dealership apart from the heavy truck end of the business which will be sold off. The business is family owned. Our salesperson is a 25 year old nice young man that's fairly new to the car business so I'm sure he will be running back and fourth being coached by the sales manager. We will "not" be financing this vehicle. We understand this vehicle is in high demand and are willing to pay the MSRP without quibbling . My question is, "what do we need to know and do on the day we pay for and take delivery of probably the last vehicle we will ever own" ? Can you please respond ?

I hate the games, tactics, etc. It's very psychological. I prefer buying used vehicles from owners. Anyway, I have a question.

TRUTH FORCES HONESTY!!

I go to the dealer. End of month. They want to get cars off the lot. I do this every time and encourage people to do the same. My last car I managed to get $1000s off the price in the lot. I walked out twice. Got called back. They did the deal after the 2nd time. Be confident! Took a friend to buy a car recently. End of month. She saved $1000s, but the money for the Dealer was in the after sale accessories. She said no... the Dealer tried, and tried. She kept saying no. After the 4th no, the Salesperson knew he was wasting his time.

Last week of the month?

[@arthurglazier5954]

I’m curious to know the difference in price she paid from scenario one to scenario two.

[@JJ-rb3ss]

I think for scenario 1 she would have ended up paying almost 10k more since she got all add ons, high loan interest rate and paid full car price

Can you do a video dealing with Car dealer regional and "in-house " advertising fees?

[@luisco33]

Love it he chess analogy, so true.

[@healthygirl3021]

Ray & Zak, can create another video with negotiations for buying a used car with a trade in? That would be great!

[@jltsoyowdycjltsoyowdyc1076]

You folks do not need to hear this, but you have a real winner with Laura. What a great series of videos! Holy cow, I am sharing this with everyone I know under 30, and anyone who might need to interact with car dealerships. I must say, if there is such a thing a running an altruistic enterprise, you people have done it. Last thing, I absolutely can’t wait to see how you bring Laura into the fold of future videos. She was really good!

When buying a used car with cash should I tell them hey I'm looking at spending 15 to 16k or just say hey show me the Hondas and toyota

[@bindingcurve]

Don't buy a used car with cash. Get your loan lined up with your local credit union. Use that to finance ANY used car purchase. If there are any issues with title transfer they will fight with the dealer. Use10K for 9.62% iBond. Pay off 6K in the next year. Then use the bond to pay off the rest. Will also help with your credit history, nice to have when you go to buy a house.

How hard is it to negotiate OTD price in current market? Or should I even negotiate since it’s sales market?

[@bindingcurve]

You are always negotiating the OTD price, the dealership just tries to hide that number for as long as possible. Before you go in, you should know the tax, and title fees. And when I say title, I'm referring to the actual DMV fees. If you don't know, one trick is to go in and act as if your going to buy the car. Anything that is taxed is NOT a DMV fee, that will also get you the sales tax and the sales tax percentage. Anything that is not taxed is a DMV fee. Say sorry too much and then get up and leave. Who knows, they may come back with a good deal.

[@jakesmith2393]

Do dealerships use mark up or margin when determining prices? What’s the standard percentage above invoice typically used to determine a vehicles “selling” price? Thanks.

[@ivobrick7401]

there's manufacturer off for - fleets, military, teachers,, medical staff and disabled people, usually 10-15% there's dealership margin - 10% in EU there is usually one extra class people getting up to 20% off the car via direect manufacturer workers and suppliers - 20% off vehicle, this does not stack for the eu, in US you have them more or less same

[@pouchy400]

So so the feeling I get is that I can’t use the MSRP on a used vehicle. What can I used?

[@Wayfinder_JT]

Great group of videos, going to be buying a car soon and this was super helpful!
