I am a private pilot, and I share a small plane with another person. We landed one day, and there was this brand new Lear jet fueling up in front of us. I asked the attendant whose plane that was when he pulled away. He said it was Dick Xxxx of Xxxx dealership (can't say who here.) I know what it costs to own and operate a brand new Lear Jet, so I know that this dealership is making HUGE money. That is why I was asked not to share who owns the Lear Jet. I am sure he wouldn't want it to get around town. They want us to think they only make a couple hundred on each car. BULLSHIT. They always make lots of money, or they will not do the deal.

Went car shopping with my daughter last week. After watching all your videos, I had a fun time negotiating. Several times my daughter asked me if we were leaving, and I told her each time, probably not and when they come back we'll be closer to the price we want. The final bit was the dealer wanted $90 for the title and registration. I looked at them and said, the title fee is $9 and the the registration fee is 21, why are you charging me 90? He said they don't negotiate on that. I asked for the trade car keys back and suddenly the fee was 35. It really does pay to do your homework

These are the stories we love to read. Somebody does a good job of learning the ropes, and then goes out and rope-a-dopes the dealership, beating them at their own game. They think they have you, only to find out they don't. For brief moments, they see a little light in the tunnel, only to have more disappointment. They inch closer to your number, your terms, with baby steps... again, and again, and again. When you know this game well, it's like being a chess master and playing chess with someone who is used to beating beginners. You don't tell them you're going to check-mate them. You just play the game, and let them trap themselves with their eagerness for another easy win.

I recently went to test drive a car. Upon arriving I told the salesman my plans of browsing and not buying until the end of August. I was surprised when he didn't press for a sale and put gas in the tank then let me drive the car 20min home to show my wife who couldn't leave the house. Is this the sign of an honest salesman who understands the consumer and respects them? If I do go to make a purchase later on that dealership is first on my list to visit. As long as I can get the exact salesman.

Hi Kevin! I hope your day is going well. Can you and Elizabeth take us through the role-play process of buying a used car with credit union financing? I really enjoyed the role-play process you guys did if you're a cash-buying customer. One dealership told me I can't use my own financing and have to go with their banks. I will not do business with them.

Last year, my Wife was looking for another car. Called a local dealer, (not exact numbers, but to use for this example) Their price was $17,500. (which would be a selling price of roughly $16,250) I told them we would come out TODAY, in the next hour, and buy it for $18,000 total, (upon approval, that everything was as it should be) Dealer stated they put their best price on the internet, and no thanks! It sat there another 2 months, and was down to $15,500. They gave up $750 with the "One price, take it or leave it!" (no, it was not Car Max) AND, we bought from another dealer, (3 weeks later) comparable car, for $17,500 total! Again, not actual numbers, but for example.

They defrauded me and added another $200 and then I had to pay another $700 in sales tax that was supposed to be included. Did I overpay at either the agreed upon price of $17k or the 'final' price of $18k? And if so by how much?

#TheHomeworkGuy I reached out to a local dealership, because a Vehicle I was interest in said it was in transit. The sales person informed me that yes it is still in transit and was expecting it sometime this month. During our conversation he mention that if I put a deposit down they hold that vehicle for me when it came in. I asked if the deposit was refundable he said no, it was just as if I placed the order myself. So my question for you is (I could not remember you talking about it any video): is that correct that the deposit is not refundable on either an in transit vehicle or if I order the vehicle outright with them?

Thanks, Carl. I saw your comments on Steve's obviously frustrated and nearly tearful response to our reaction videos. You provided him a good gut check. The guy is lost so far out in the pasture it's hard not to feel sorry for him. I can speak for the entire THG Team when I say it's a beautiful thing to have truth on our side. We don't have to make up anything, just report on it. Guys like Steve Richards have done it to themselves, the entire business has done it to themselves. Since 1977, when Gallup began first polling American Citizens to find out who were the most to least trusted professions, just 8% of the people thought a car salesman was a trustworthy person. Fast forward to December 2020. It's still just 8%. Since 1977, the best a Car Salesman ever did was 10%, the worst was 5%, always on the bottom in the company of a congressman, an ad executive, and the lawyers. We started publishing videos in 2009. Got serious about it in 2012. We can very safely say we didn't give Steve Richards, Car Dealers, or the Car Business a bad reputation. They earned that all on their own. We just tell people about it, and equip them with knowledge to defeat people who have had a bottom dwelling reputation for 45 years now.

How much do you think you're getting ripped off buying everything else in the free world? Insurance, groceries, furniture, electronics. For most salespeople, they don't mind negotiators, it's just part of doing the job. I've had people walk right in and say "What's your best price" or "Why didn't you just give me the best price up front" I will ask people "Let's say you're selling your car and you put it on Facebook Marketplace. When the person arrives to buy your car, do you come outside and say yeah, I'm asking 10,000 but I'll take 5,000. Of course you don't. It's the same with any salesperson. They can't buy the car and sell it for you" They are there to make money and sell the car for the asking price and maximize profits. Does it have to be off of you? No, not if you are willing to negotiate. But good sales people won't play your games, just like you won't play theirs. Most salespeople will not waste over an hour with you going back and forth on the price. At some point, it's best to just move to the next customer.

I've said this before and I will say it again; there are plenty of honest people in this world (believe it or not), there are plenty of car dealerships, but there are very few truly honest car dealerships, from the salespersons all the way up to the ownership itself. The only exception I've ever seen is Saturn before they fell completely under the thumb of GM. All the more reason why I fully intend to purchase my leased 2018 Toyota Rav4 Hybrid Limited in the next month or so. The purchase price is known for sure, the mileage is way under the limit, the vehicle has been meticulously maintained, is in like new condition, and the purchase price is at least $3000 under the trade-in and book values.

When I was selling cars there was a salesman in the dealership who got a 10-pound deal on his own mom! I heard him telling her that she couldn't expect too much on her trade. It was disgusting. The dealership was just as sleazy as he was because I happened to sell her trade and I didn't make much commission on it at all. Part of the reason I finally quit selling cars is because I got tired of customers who wouldn't believe that I was trying to be fair and honest with them. The fault there is the salesmen who have cultivated a dishonest persona.

I also think internet and software pricing keeps prices high. That is to say something like Carfax Pricing is run by dealers, not consumers, and they can keep those values artificially high anytime they want to.

The clash of the titans... lol. Yes, it ought to be huge. Steve is basically a good guy, but someone who is stuck in a very old world of predatory selling. We know of many people like him. We have a huge advantage in that we don't have to play games with people. We don't have to make up stories. We can just speak the truth, and we are going to challenge him to do the same.

Sorry...how we price cars is true. We use software like vAuto that allow us to see what the average market price of a vehicle is, the average wholesale price, and data on specific vehicles. Now the average market price might be a $2000-3500 gross profit but it is fair with regard to the retail prices of other cars of the same model and similar miles in the market

That’s not the question. The question is what is acceptable to say and do in order to make X amount per year. Once you determine what is acceptable and honest you already know what you are going to make per year based upon the system you are operating under.

Customer education should include total cost of ownership. That $40K car is depreciating $500/month. You insurance went up $150 per month. Property taxes? Maintenance? Accessories? Car dealers try to convince you that spending your money on a rapidly depreciating asset is actually a great deal.

Negotiating cars is the easiest thing in the world with the internet.. Fuck all that back and forth shit and going to the dealership in person. Just send emails to every dealership within X-mile radius to solicit bids from them. Let them know you are soliciting bids and will be picking the lowest out-the-door price. Keep pinning them against each other til you eventually get the lowest offer that no other will match. You know that's the bottom. Just have your financing pre-approved. It's called "the slickdeals approach to negotiating the price of a new car"

It's interesting how he said "we have sophisticated software that prices based on other vehicles 4-500 miles away". Does he know what an outlier is in statistics? A stupidly high number, that bumps up the average and throws off the skew of the data. All it takes is one lousy dealer to put a stupidly high price for a similar vehicle and BAM they can justify a higher price because its still "lower than the area average". Just because it's lower than average doesn't make it a good deal. He makes you think like it's a good deal, but the vehicle is not worth that much at all.

You've hit the nail on the head. Richards isn't much of a statistician. He isn't very sharp on the analysis you just gave, and wouldn't recognize it as being "problematic" if it was explained in detail to him. There's are reason for that. His story isn't about accuracy and sharing good information. It's simply a story, and as a story, stands on the credibility of the storyteller. 41 years selling cars tells the average person all you ever wanted to know. There's no possibility that he's shooting for accuracy there.

Hello, I have seen a lot of Richards videos and i have to say this guy is good at selling the customers a story, so I'm glad you did video on this guy, but I would like for you to do one on Andy Elliot, I would say this guy is a lot more word tracks than Richards, so you need to do one on him. I also watch these guys because its a good way to see how they use this word tracks to sell people a car.
