If a Dealership DOES THIS... LEAVE IMMEDIATELY!

If a car dealer does this... leave immediately! If a dealership does any of these things, they're not worth working with. Greedy dealers have put a bad taste in the mouths of consumers these last few years. The new and used vehicle market has shifted tremendously since then. It is now a BUYER'S MARKET 100%... vehicle inventories are are through the roof across the nation. Dealers will have to discount their vehicles by a lot to stay in business in 2024. This year will reward good honest dealers and punish greedy ones who refuse to let go of their marked up and inflated car and truck prices. Would you agree?
In this video I will highlight some of the most prominent RED FLAGS to look for when buying a vehicle. These are just some of the things to look for. If you see a dealer deploy these tactics, leave immediately. Let me know what your thoughts are. Which of these red flags have you seen before? Are there any I missed? Thank you for watching as always, I truly appreciate the support! If you found ANY value in this video here, please consider Liking and Subscribing, I'd greatly appreciate it. Your support means a lot!! Thank you!

[@garyjarvis2730]

You can absolutely negotiate a deal by email or phone. Know the car VIN in advance or have a specific list of options prepared to act as the basis for all discussions. It sends a strong message that you are a serious buyer and know exactly what you want. Walking around the lot like a lost puppy instantly makes you a target for dealer games. If the dealer can't give you a cost breakdown by email move on. If need be give them the car in question and ask for a cash price, a lease price and a finance price. All pricing is "out the door" with all fees and taxes built in to the final proposal. Once you have all the information do your math and thinking at home, never in the showroom. I also never test drive and buy anything at the same time. Test drive, go home, get the numbers by email, then decide. When you walk into a dealer to actually buy a car it should be just to pay for it and pick it up. Most dealers don't deserve much respect and like the video states - if they play games just get up and walk out. Don't even say thanks and goodbye.

[@toddrunyon]

The dealer CAN give numbers over email but don't WANT to because they know the buyer will simply use those numbers to get a better / more realistic deal somewhere else.

Then this is a dealership you probably don't want to do business with.

This is the tactic I used in summer 2020 to get my Tacoma SR5 4x4. I have to say it worked well for me in the end. I did this after getting game players at a local Toyota dealer. When I sent my very direct email to about 10 or more dealers with in a few hours driving distance, a few didn't reply, a few just wanted to get you to come in to see a sales proposal, a few actually sent a sales proposal I had 3 to sort out. one had addendum items added and was eliminated from contention. I pick the most reasonable and fair one and it turn out to be the easiest car buying experience for me so far.

[@kifley19]

I emailed like 5 Toyota dealers and these bastards just keep telling me to come in and they just keep sending me the OTD price via email that's already listed on their website. I made them offers via email but they just say to come in. I went to one and it was a waste of time. Tried to sell me a bunch of extra bullshit on top of the listed msrp price. If I'm not going to get a discount while in the dealership, why even bother going into the store lol. Just let me get ripped off buying directly online.

[@ShenmueAtheist]

I commend you for your ability to deal with car salesmen and dealerships frequently. Car salesmen are consistently some of the worst people I've ever met, and I'm convinced half of them would rob you at gunpoint if they were confident they could get away with it. I love cars, but I hate dealerships with a passion. I always wondered if being a car salesman attracts people that were already assholes, or if being one turns otherwise good people into assholes.

[@littlestinker9716]

I've met plenty of scummy car sales people but I've also been fortunate enough to deal with some great ones over the years.

[@Dano-MX5]

I can personally vouch that there are good dealers out there. I’m 72, have purchased 77 vehicles in my lifetime and yes, there are horrible sales people and there are very good ones. When I retired at 58 I was offered a sales job at a Honda/Acura dealership that I had bought several cars from and had always thought highly of them. Our business model there was to nurture a personal relationship with the customer so they became a customer for life. They believed the experience the customer received on their first purchase there should leave such a great impression that if down the road they wanted another Honda or Acura they wouldn’t even consider going anywhere else. In the 4 years I worked there I never was the top salesman for the month BUT my customers loved me. They saw me as genuine as someone who valued them as a customer. Low pressure and honesty goes a long way in the car business.

The problem is when all dealerships are doing some of these practices. I'm surrounded by several of them and they are all guilty of some of these. I've seen markups, pre-installed protection packages, the "come to the dealer now" pitch, the car you want it's in the lot today but you call tomorrow and the car was sold. No good option is left. So I guess it's up to the consumer to deal with this, like saying no dealer installed add-ons. And be ready to walk away and not forced into a bad deal.

[@RAV4Adventures2024]

I bought my Black 2024 RAV4 TRD Off Road (AWD) (very hard to find just sitting on the lot) over the mountain in Tennessee instead of North Carolina where I live, because they didn't have all the Southeast Toyota Port Options, many of which, can't be removed: Common Southeast Toyota Port Options: Toyoguard Platinum ($699), Multimedia Screen Protector ($129), Door Protection Film ($249), Hood Protection Film ($499), Phone Cable Charge Package w/Two Cargo USB Ports ($248), and Roof Rack Cross Bars ($369). Total Saved buying in Tennessee: $2193. My only installed option was mud guards for $150. AWD and 4x4 are very difficult to find in the South East, but they have a lot of them in Tennessee, which is in the Michigan and Kentucky zone. The Phone Charging Package is nothing more than a 12V Lighter Adapter with 2 USB cables, worth maybe $39. I later added the Roof Rack Cross Bars for $188 DIY from Toyota Parts.

I got "lucky" and found one for 29k which was only 2 thousand over msrp.. its ridiculous what they push and put you thru to buy a car.

The problem with internet reviews, is that often the company can do things to have negative reviews removed. You can't always trust those and leaving one won't always guarantee anyone will see it.

[@mochamon]

Another option. If you plan on paying cash, buy the vehicle with a financing plan so you can get the financing discount. Then once you have the vehicle just go pay off the loan. That way you get the discount and you don’t pay any interest.

[@georgetown8986]

Good idea. The manufacturer / finance company will require you to pay at least 3 to 6 mos before paying it off without a penalty. However, if the discount is large enough, you will save more with the discount than interest for 6 months.

If you are financing, in addition to what’s mentioned here, ask them for the “Buy rate” of your approval. They do not have to tell you, but it sends them a message that you aren’t a moron when they present the deal interest rate. They will NEVER offer you the best rate you’ve been approved for the first 3 times they present the deal. They will HIGH/LOW you hoping they can get you to commit to the higher rate, and only after you walk away from the deal will they begin to get closer to the banks buy rate.

These are great points that all car buyers should know. Dealers have been pulling this crap for decades. I really wish there was a better way. fYI , Costco hasn’t helped, at least not for me.

There is stil a new car shortage at a lot of dealerships, especially with Toyota and Mazda here in Atlantic Canada. It seems that the US is doing good with inventory but up here it is hard to find the car I want. It usually sells before it even arrives.

Still driving my 15 year old Toyota FJ cruiser. The older cars were better than the newer cars and you can keep them running by learning about them and staying ahead of the maintenance. There is no way I would pay today’s prices and interest rates.

Really great advice. No arguments here. I wanted a 2023 Golf R 20th anniversary model. The local dealers, Atlanta, GA. metro, all wanted $8k or more over sticker. Not necessarily in actual markup, but added "stuff" like PPF or coatings, etc. I just could not justify such and knew I would be losing all that money when I sold. I actually never tried to negotiate for the car. I have no idea if they were able to sell at such prices or not. Same with a Toyota Corolla GR, huge markup's. I went with a VW Golf GTI 40th anniversary in Urano Grey and a 6 speed manual from a dealer 340 miles away in Daphine, AL. and got $25,000 trade in on a car I had paid $26,000 drive out and cash for 33 months and 14,000 miles earlier. The date was Sep. 23rd 2023. The trade was a 2021 Corolla hatchback XSE 6 speed manual. I did pay MSRP for the VW, but I got $3k more for the trade in than any of the websites said it was worth. Oh, and the $1000.00 worth of paint protection and dent removal was't even an issue. I just said I was not going to pay it and the sales lady just said okay. The VW had been on the lot for a while, possibly over 90 days. Daphne, Al. is a small market.

Thanks for a great video, Imyself will be looking for a new car sometime this coming year. I am surprised to see you weren't fighting a 30 knot wind there I use to live off exit 12 back side of F.E W. Miss the plcae but not the winds .

[@UntamedMotors]

Thank you! Nice, FE is what brought us here in the first place. Haha yeah, I managed to shoot this video on the ONE day that didn’t have tornado like winds. 😆 Should have bought a Lotto ticket that day too…

[@Mustanggt-jh6dl]

[@UntamedMotors]

Thanks brother 🙏

[@mikepeterson8037]

Today I called a dealership about a new truck. The first question was when can you stop in?

[@orangepeel1366]

awesome advise and vid ....new sub ... thanks for keeping it real..

[@UntamedMotors]

Thanks a ton man, really appreciate the support! 🙏🏼

[@matthewdelaplain3550]

thanks for all the advice on navigating the current auto market. do you have a recommended site to buy used cars from private sellers?

[@FuturesPast1]

I was calling over the phone to get prices and the dealer lady got really nasty with me and said "I need you to come in to discuss this in person to be able to give you the best deal". When I told her no I just want the prices first before coming in she yelled at me on the phone and said "I need you to be respectful to me as it is common courtesy to come here and talk face to face". She hollered at me and told me it was very rude to ask for prices over the phone. I hung up on her and within 5 minutes later she called me back and was giving me prices over the phone. I sent my husband in to do a test drive, but her her pushy sales tactics turned us off even more and we bought the car from someone else. When she found out about that she screamed at me on the phone and said that was disrespectful of us to have wasted her time. I hung up the phone on her. Some of these dealers are very aggressive.

Some dealers are getting better. In December I was shopping for a new crossover in Daytona Beach. The only dealership where the salesperson had his "boss" basically block my way out and do the "What can we do to put you in a new Sportage today?" hard sell was the Kia dealership there. I told him (just like I told the salesperson) that I was checking them all out at every dealership to find the one that's just right for me and I wasn't finished looking yet. I'd decide when I was finished doing that. That was the only dealership I crossed off my list out of the half dozen I went to. I haven't bought dozens like Untamed has (😆), but i have bought 8 new cars in my life and it wasn't my first rodeo. Those tactics are an instant turn off and I'm out the door. That market segment is too competitive with too many options to put up with that.

[@georgetown8986]

"One Price" dealers.. Walk away.

[@luisorozco4479]

About 5 years ago I went to an agency to buy a new car and they told me that it was mandatory to buy an extended warranty with them and I said no and left and never returned to them.

[@RedEyeC]

The thing about online reviews (for anything) is the majority of people who write them are angry because they had a bad experience / transaction and they are immediately looking to strike out. Very few good reviews are descriptive, they are mostly "great product, good experience" - and that's it.

you are so wright thankyou
