just remember, if things start to go wrong in price negotiations, the door you entered the dealer, will also let you exit the dealer.

[@briannwo1900]

Dealerships could care less if you walk right now.

[@jon_r_gilbert]

As a salesperson I want to remind you, not taking 'no' for an answer is our job. And whether it's a soft sell or high pressure, we're good at what we do. Remember though, that you have permission to say 'no.' Many inexperienced buyers don't think about this during the purchase process. If something doesn't feel right to you, just say 'no.'

[@americanmambi]

And it feels great to stand up and leave them with blank stares

[@Str8Bidness]

Unless you give them your keys. lmao!

[@TheGenerationX894]

I would also like to say, if the dealer has installed add ONS, like mudguards, running boards etc, don't pay for those, they put those on you didn't ask for them, simply tell them to take them off and remove the 1200 price adjustment that came with it. They'll remove the add on pricing, but they rarely remove those installed items. Chances are they added these because that particular unit had been there too long and they wanted to dress it up to get it more attention. A five is a five even if it's wearing a new suit lol.

[@bubblechevy1993]

Your videos and website helped me talk a dealership down to get your suggested OTD price for a 2022 dodge durango citadel V8. I was also pre-approved by a credit union and had their 2.99% rate in my back pocket. As soon as the saleman said 3.99%, I pulled out my pre-approval paper and the dealership ended up giving me a 2.4% interest rate. I owe yall a couple thousand dollars easy lol. Thanks for doing these videos, they are very informative and helpful!

I have a neighbor who is not shy at all and extremely persistent. When we were in high school in the late '60's, one his favorite entertainments on a slow weekend was to go to car dealerships and get test drives, haggle over price, then tell them he'd "think about it." I pay him to buy a car for me from time to time. He gets me better deals than I ever could.

[@bradsimpson8724]

I've been told "the price is the price" before. I've noticed that that price is always considerably more flexible when I shake the salesman's hand, thank him for his time, and ask where the next closest(manufacturer) dealership is. I've yet to make it out the door without some kind of an adjustment, and there's usually some embarassed stammering when I ask how things suddenly got so flexible in the time it took me to turn my back.

[@hayeswildrick]

I’m an RV inspector and people in our association are encountering more and more RV dealers that won’t allow inspectors on their lots. Some customers have walked away and bought at a different dealership. Some have stood firm and the dealer has “made an exception.” One big chain has started offering a comprehensive pre-purchase inspection for about $700 (Talk about the fox guarding the chicken coop. They tell customers that they know their products better than independent inspectors do!) Most dealers are flabbergasted to learn that a good RV inspection will take between 4 and 8 hours depending on the size and complexity of the rig. Two of my personal observations are 1) I’ve only twice inspected a rig with no significant issues - ESPECIALLY new RVs, and 2) When I show up with a box of donuts it leads to a much more cooperative attitude from the service department.

[@moviehosers6836]

How about we just start walking away from these scumbag dealers? Ray is right about want vs need. Most don’t need a new car, they just want it. As customers we are just as responsible for this mess because we refuse to walk away when the dealer tries to bend us over. Stop buying these overpriced vehicles!

[@jon_r_gilbert]

As a salesperson, consumers need to research their dealers better. Buying a car can be your second highest priced purchase. Do some legwork, ask questions, compare, check reviews, call, talk to friends. Do not buy a car without diligent research. Knowing the dealership can be more important than the car you want or need. Don't let limited inventory be the only reason you buy the car you're looking for. You can compromise on features, but not on the dealership you end up working with.

[@lpsalsaman]

Great work, you and your Dad have great chemistry! The information provided by your Dad and you are great and really eye-opening, definitely need to be informed when going to any "stealership" that is for sure!

[@markm5899]

Y'all have a great relationship, and I enjoy your discussions as well as the helpful info!

[@spinevice7689]

Although I agree 100% with your advice, it’s much easier said than done. A lot depends on what you want and how far you’ll go to get it. Especially with inventory where it’s at today (new and used) these scenarios don’t always make sense. If you want a used Raptor, for instance, and there are very few to be had simply walking away or trying to reason with them about future purchase when a dealer says “ the price is the price “ will not work. Most dealers, even in small cities don’t care that you could be a return, long-term customer. They are just happy enough to sell the truck to the next person through the door. It’s extremely short-sighted but so often true. I’ve tried extensively to build a relationship with my local ford dealer but they never budge. Buy all my fords at smaller dealers in the region because of this. Keep up the great content! I enjoy it!

[@bondgabebond4907]

Pop is so cool. The takeaway I get is to be prepared and RELAXED and not be fired up. Don't let the dealer/salesperson rule the conversation. Get them off guard with a sweet voice and kindness, and a little BS on top.

[@MyExperienceUnderTheSun]

These are gem conversations. I've already bought a car but I still stay to listen to your dad talking. Keep up the good work.

[@simev500]

Love Ray's tactful response. Keeping any emotions out of the exchange. A good way to gauge the demeanor of the salesperson, too. If friendly sales rep tries to change subject or fidgets with impatience while Ray responds, that's a cue this salesperson won't accommodate Ray counteroffers. Call it a pass and go to the next dealer, no point insulting him by asking for another sales rep. Or, if first impression of body language on greeting exchange sends mixed signals, abort the plan to sit down with this particular rep by saying just here on leisure day off/weekend driving by dealership. Look around for other sales rep if there are more customers in the showroom to occupy the one tactically rejected, and try again.

[@shmehfleh3115]

To their credit, every dealership I've talked to over the last few months has always answered yes to the question of "Can I take your car to get inspected?" If anyone ever says no, I would;ve walked out right then and there. HOWEVER, the problems happen when you take that inspection report back to the dealership. One dealership told me flat-out that they weren't willing to spend any money on the car regardless of what the mechanic discovered. (This thing turned out to be in such bad shape, the parking brake wouldn't hold it!) Another dealer offered to fix *one* issue, and only because I showed him a picture of me wiping fluid off a leaking rear differential. He wouldn't budge on the price or spend any more than that on repairs, so I walked.

[@jon_r_gilbert]

As a salesperson I'm happy you did the right thing. It's important for buyers to know that saying 'no' is okay. Even though you'll be made to feel like shit about it. Trust me, you'll only feel that way until you turn right out of the parking lot.

[@TK-vu5ny]

[@waxmanvids5015]

I had quite the experience leasing a 2022 Bronco Sport last week using A-plan and how much they were trying to screw me on my high mileage trade. 2 things that really stick out are the pricing sheet they sat down in front of me in the beginning of the negotiation showing a $995 leather protection package, and they kept saying how the only people that would be able to buy my high mileage trade-in would be a cash buyer which was a bunch of crap.

[@adamfischer6768]

Excellent advice! Had a used car dealer tell me I had to leave a $1000.00 deposit just to go on a test drive on a 2008 used minivan. Talk about not wanting to sell a vehicle and lose a potential buyer!

[@TheGenerationX894]

Run away, test drives are free. If that happens you have the lowest of the low, and the most desperate sales team in history. Make them famous by telling everyone who they are, and how they are. Turn them in to the dealer licensing bureau as well, it's a phone call, and they'll get a serious warning phone call and or investigation.

I recently had a dealership try to add $5k to the price of the car. $1000 doc fee and $4k in miscellaneous (unitemized) add ons. When I said that was too high, the sales manager said then they couldn't do business with me and actually ended negotiations and walked away from the table. I guess because they gave me a $5 Starbucks they thought they could add $5k to the bill. They also prided themselves in being a "Christian" company, which they mentioned multiple times. They did allow me to take the car for a PPI though before all that. I had fully intended to buy the car, which they still haven't sold BTW.

I also got KBB for my trade so overall happy with my deal. In fact, I bought another one for my wife 3 weeks later. I didn’t buy anything in the finance office and was out of the dealership both times in about 1 hour. My time is valuable so haggling over a few hundred bucks didn’t seem worth it to me.

I've been working with a couple of Toyota dealers who keep telling me they can "order me a car". I asked them, "I thought you couldn't order a car from Toyota, you got cars allocated to you?" They each became uneasy and avoided answering. I knew this because of your videos, thanks so much! The craziest thing is they want a $2,000 deposit for a car that sells immediately (on the off chance one lands in the showroom). The wait is 4-6 months, according to them. I don't see why I have to park $2,000 for a car that obviously is not a risk for them to have. Seems like a lot of money that the dealer gets to sit on while we wait for cars. I could see a token deposit, but that much is frustrating!

They have more of a bargaining leverage if they are holding your down payment hostage so they can raise the price when you walk in expecting to pick up the vehicle. Watch them shrug their shoulders when you ask them to sign, to return the down payment (immediately) if they don't sell at the agreed price

We will never come down a penny on it because we don't have to and wont. If you don't want to pay the $6995. They with a straight face wanted $49,995 PLUS title fees for a 4 Runner with NO ACCESSORIES, no steps, racks, brush guard zero nothing zip. straight off the line.

I got it for a steal because it needed new brakes and tires and they had no clue if anything else was wrong.

All of the new vehicles I’ve purchased over the last 3 decades has been with me politely making a final out the door offer, leaving my number and saying call me if your still sitting on this vehicle and while I’d like to give YOU my business I’m off to the next dealership to see what they have. I even did that on a truck that I had built to my specs because I couldn’t find what I wanted. This is a very different market but I refuse to pay sticker and certainly never a markup. You have to know the value of what you are looking for, it’s value to you and be willing to walk away.

[@invisablehvman3073]

I love Ray's approach. I have had good experiences with Ford dealerships being polite and business like. When I used a car for business purposes I leased a car and got a new one every two to three years. Later I could not write off the car and purchased them outright. I remember bringing in a lease car with tires past the wear mark, they said they would slap as set of used tires so I did not pay for new tires. That was a $500 to $600 savings. When I purchased a car it was a custom order at a flat $500 over invoice less any rebates. When I bring my car/truck in for service (at the Ford Dealership) if it is going to take a while they give me a loaner. They wash my car after service. Also, I have gotten competitive rates from Ford Motor Credit and the loan process is quick and efficient. I can not say the same for service on our Jaguar or Dodge Durango.

In Nov, 2021, I bought a 2011 Prius with 142,000 miles from a Toyota dealership. Three months later I took it back to the dealership for an oil change and checkup. Five days later, the car engine exploded a half-dollar sized piece of the engine, all the oil flowed out, and the engine was ruined. So, it's after the dealer's three-month warranty. How would you approach the dealer about getting the thing fixed. Will a dealer feel any obligation to take on some of the loss?

[@catguy2021]

Interesting suggestions. The one thing I would disagree with is what I would call the, 'Wimpy" strategy you suggest. 'I would gladly pay you Tuesday for a hamburger today." Give me a good deal on a car today and I'll buy another one from you in 2030..I think most dealers are going to go for all they can get today, and not worry about the next possible car sale. They figure you might just walk out the door and have a heart attack and never come back, or next time buy the hot new model car from another manufacturer. What if the dealer said, "pay me $2500 over MSRP today and when you buy a new car in 7-8 years I'll take $2500 of the MSRP for you?" Doesn't sound very enticing does it?? t

About 12 years ago I started using a broker to buy my cars. It's so much less stressful, and I've consistently been able to save money. Since brokers buy dozens or even hundreds of cars every year, they have a LOT more leverage with dealers - and there are none of the silly little tricks like adding $200 for Scotchguard, $150 for etching the glass, and charging $300 for paperwork. I just send an email to my broker that lists the car and all the options I want, the broker finds the car, gets a price, sends me an email, and I accept or decline. If I accept, I have the car delivered, do a final pre-purchase inspection, get the keys, pay, and go.

The best method is not to play nice with these dealership. They want to cheat you on your car deal so you have to be smart and do the best to buy under MSRP and get discounts. Get signed documents and leave bad reviews for crooked Dealerships

[@LindseyObrooke]

I hate when they immediately ask what your budget is. How do you dodge that question because it's obviously so leading and it's what they're going to use to take advantage of you. I walked out of three dealerships last weekend. No one wants to negotiate with this market. Also, two I went to had screens attached to their computers that they were putting price and customer info into to look at pricing. How is that negotiating?! I wish the last one I went to that did that to me, who was incredibly patronizing, that I would have spoken up and said, "Is this how you're negotiating cars now, because I can just go home and do this on a computer myself." I'm curious what the response would have been there.

[@Tonyauto1]

I never ever have seen anyone at the counter of a Macy's trying to negotiate the price of a $125.00 Calvin Klien pair of jeans that have an 85% profit! Same thing with a $3800 Samsung refrigerator How come we can't find out the cost to the dealer on Major Appliances?

[@FreckleFinance]

If they told me I couldn't do an inspecction on the car I'd probably be inclined to tell that that makes me feel like there's something to hide about the car LOL.

[@eliansalinas7022]

I remember seeing a video from y’all where Laura pulled up the current value loss via wholesale of cars from Black Box? How does one do that?

[@JaydonTanner]

At my dealership we are not up pricing our new vehicles. The price really is the price. We are not discounting or up pricing. We are selling at exactly at MSRP.

[@scottgibson3675]

The Dealership that we are talking to said we can not pay for the car in cash, we have to take out a loan and then pay it off when we get the first bill. I call BULL on that one. I have the funds to pay for it without a loan.

[@robertball3578]

I wanted to trade up on my 10 year old pickup with 219k miles. Asked a dealer about 50 miles away to quote me a price on either of two trucks he was advertising with mine as a trade He said he wouldn't give me a quote, I couldn't afford one of his used trucks. I said too bad, I just cashed out a high yield short term investment and have $25k cash, more than asking price for either truck. We were about to move so I was willing to take trade-in value vs sell it myself. Bought a truck 2 months after the move.

[@eugenebukhtiyaroff9315]

almost every dealer is asking this: "If I would be able to sell you the car for $37,500 are you going to buy it?". what should my reply be? Do I say something like ... "SO IS THIS YOUR FINAL OFFFER?" or answer this: "WHAT IF SPIDERS WERE 10 feet tall?". or what should my answer be to keep lowering the price?

[@crizvee7247]

Is the pre inspection only on used cars ? Can you get one with a new car too?

[@jeansatmary2413]

I have been looking and this incentive packaging that I am not asking for they keep trying to give me and add the price how do I stop that

[@skoffco]

I don’t know about that most of his car salesman work one car dealership today and another one tomorrow. They can care less what you’re going to buy from them in the future or what your going to by for your kids!

[@tomjohnson8737]

I had a used car dealership said I can test drive the car around the block, but not on the highway. Tf is that. I need to know if I'm going 70mph the car is not going to shake like it's going to fall apart. Lol I still didn't listen to the dealership and took it on the highway. Came back and they yell at me. Lol so I walk away.

[@kylem331]

What if one group owns multiple dealerships of various brands and the same car is moved from one location to another one and the price increases once the vehicle is at the new location?

[@markf5653]

Zack, just turn Ray loose and let him do what he feels inspired to say and do. Ray is pure gold!

[@zavalamark_]

When ordering a vehicle is that price set? Or can it be dropped

[@sn4rl277]

"You walk" exactly. Some folks need to learn to just walk.

[@nemomeinpunelacssit4319]

Okay here’s a scenario I’m doing a build freight 2020 to refresh Chevy Silverado trail boss LT price came out to 63,000 I’m coming with $17,000 cash plus a trade-in I got offers from multiple dealerships that they’ll give me 16,000 Trade in value how would you recommend I approach this they said they’re going to takeoff the $5000 market fee but when I asked for the rebates they said that’s why they took off 5000

[@XavierOlmo]

I sell new and used cars and strongly approve of this messaging.

[@susans7091]

I am looking at a Ford TRANSIT CARGO VAN AWD 2022, you can't even order them now. Someone in a city 5 hours from here canceled their order but it is on the way. They want MRSP + 5K ! It is probably one of either zero or maybe 2 or three in the country. I am not driving 5 hours to have it serviced, , how do I try to negotiate!

[@jb6712]

But the thing is, there is NO "shortage" of newer "used" cars! There are thousands of acres of land in the USA where millions of unsold cars are lined up, 2018s, 19s, 20s and 21s, possibly some that are slightly older! If those idiot dealerships would bring those cars back onto their lots, the prices could be and should be, driven way down! Why do they have to lie about a "shortage" of inventory???

[@frankb9175]

I want to know the trick for the dealer to give me a number without having to run my credit. In California they always say need credit to give you monthly payment but im not asking for monthly based on credit i do my math from otd price

[@tedgagas9529]

All this may have worked a couple of years back, now with the shortage, new cars selling like hot cakes and the dealer is not afraid to push back if its not in his term

[@terrylee8333]

grate information !!!!!!!!

[@stigjr2410]

My local Seattle area honda dealer let me walk out the door at two thousand over MSRP on an accord sport hybrid. They started at a ridiculous 9 thousand over MSRP.

[@richkaser1228]

🤬🤬🤯

[@mehrdadyektaparast1368]

Are invoice numbers the real cost to the dealership? If so it does not e any sense. I realize there are hold backs and extra money for multi unit sell. Can you please answer me that

[@simplyvicent4569]

Pops, man, a pot of gold right there.

[@fredarroyo7429]

Yeah with the Corolla cross Im trying to get that is flying off the shelves, it's hard to get so far

[@brianarsenault8882]

Are all these tips and terms apply for the Canadian market?

[@adaiyah-zerahbahtyahudah7860]

Awesome! Ty.

[@roninsc]

This is great!!!!

[@chi4life61]

I just love you both 😂❤

[@zsgarner]

I think you have to be saying these things to the right person as well correct? At my local Jeep dealer they are turning over sales guys like every few months it seems. I'm not sure the boots on the ground sales guy really cares about customer loyalty and the long-term. If you get these responses from a on the floor sales guy, is it better to ask to speak to the lead sales manager or general manager?

[@jonathanc.6925]

Salesperson told me that the manufacturer set and locked the money factor. Lol I got a second opinion and the second opinion was worth it.

[@getyourwillhere]

Large amount asks for market adjustments would be considered price gouging in Alberta and illegal under s6 of Fair Trade Act.

[@indycharlie]

Hmm.. Not my path . But good advice Ray . Be safe out there folks ... Gubs

[@edcochran714]

This is Orlando Florida I do not know about the rest of the country but this is what's going on here. A lot of dealers specify that if you don't buy it somebody else will. I have made six offers for a 2017 and 2018 Chevy Camaro V6 6-speed. For $20,000 out the door. Dealer specified to me that we are between 4 to $5,000 apart. My response to them is okay I am in no rush it's a car I want not a car I need. If you change your mind contact me. With the exception of one Camaro every single Camaro that I have looked at on lots of dealers are still there from 3 to 4 months ago. Don't know what your opinion is on that but if any of you got time chime in thanks.

[@cousinjohncarstuff4568]

If you are in no rush, wait for the price bubble to burst. Then, dealers will blow up your phone eager to sell for your price!

[@cousinjohncarstuff4568]

I would sure love to see Steve Richards sputtering as he tries to come up with a good response to Ray! Of course, we know if he was invited to role play vs Ray, (an informed consumer) he would decline. His sales tactics he teaches would fail miserably!

[@Laddima222]

I found a dealership that sells at MSRP but they charge 500 dollar doc fee, I tried asking to lower the price by MSRP or removing the doc charge but they said this is not negotiable. Should I proceed with that dealership given 500 dollar fee is better than markup and or worse dealerships?

[@nunyabizness3382]

Im pretty sure the car is no longer available now. sorry
