Yes but most of the time the used car salespeople have no idea of the history of the car they are selling. They mist likely got it from auction, have no idea if its ever been in a wreck or has mechanical issues etc, but the buyer is expecting a genuine good-as-it-looks ultra safe ultra reliable purchase. Its almost certainly the most expensive purchase we make after our home, and if you rent you home it's then likely to be the most expensive thing you will buy. So of course you want it to be perfect

[@shawnmason5290]

When I got out of the car business after 15 years and got into my current career that I’ve been in now for 15 years it was interesting to see the car business from the outside. To go into the corporate structure that I’m in now made me realize that the car business is the last of the wild wild West. It also unfortunately made me realize the hatred and disrespect that most people have for an occupation that still holds a lot of great lifetime relationships for me today. This video was so true I’ve had the same thoughts exactly, exactly that I can flip houses which I’ve done and made $20,000 on in six weeks but if I flip a car and get lucky and make 1000 on it I screwed somebody-it’s supposed to be a charity. Getting out of the car business is like trying to stay away from a drug or alcohol addiction. It’s an sure fire way to make money to live on and exist if you have the talents. When waiting tables or whatever jobs you migrate through trying to stay away from the car business long-term it is tough not to go back when times are financially hard. in the United States right now a worker who does not have a criminal record, tattoos and piercings in public view, the ability to show up on time and be reliable, the ability to call a customer back just like you promised you would is very rare. I suggest you Go into a couple large independent insurance agencies in your town or insurance agencies like State Farm, or country companies, or Allstate. I promise you there is a owner of an agency that would be willing to help you get through the insurance licensing process if you had those rare attributes of a worker in the market today. Ask them to pay for your licensing and then withdraw it from your earnings over time when you first start. They will have you on commission as well helping customers with different types of insurance products. You should make 35 to 50,000 in the first year. Hang in there, keep looking for an alternative away from where you are surviving right now waiting tables. Good workers are hard to find. Are you a good worker?

Last car I bought for my wife Salesman talking about all these things they were going to "throw in" if I bought the car. Get the sales contract and every one of those things was on there for me to pay a couple grand for. Then the jackalope wants me to sign a paper saying I didn't want them. I told him I don't have to sign shit to not buy something just rewrite the contract without that crap on it. This is after I walked in with my financing setup already but he "tried to get me a better deal" and hit my credit with 3 inquiries from their preferred financers without my permission.

Hoovie selling Hooptie’s 😁

[@rich5708]

I was not A fan of Hoovie A long time ago but one video caught my eye and he grew on me from there and now he’s one of my favorite KZbin channels now.

Freddy’s should offer a combo called. “Hoovie Snacks”

Tyler seems like a genuinely nice guy and deserves all the Blessings God Has In Store For him!

[@mcgusto82]

Opening a dealership really is a continuous struggle.

[@kylancook3477]

As a local to wichita I am super pumped to know a lot of those places his older pictures were taken and repping the Freddy's restaurants, one of the best in town!

[@spencerdavid9453]

Wooo! Never get to be here this early! Always love a good story from Hoovie

[@imgumbydmnt]

As someone who grew up in a dealership, and got into the industry, I learned one very valuable phrase that people with trade-ins could understand, I can give you retail for retail, or wholesale for wholesale, you can't have both. Most come in with the idea they can get retail for their trade-in, and pay wholesale for the vehicle they wanted, it just doesn't work that way.

"Only industry where you are a jerk for making money"! I would give this video 1million thumbs up if i could.

[@undergrounddojokeyboardcag701]

Its a bit warranted and for multiple reasons.

[@davedixon2167]

I had entirely forgotten about Hoovie's connection to Freddy's - and having recently moved cross country east to west I finally discovered that awesome frozen custard. Congrats to Tyler, stumbling into living the dream it seems!

We have a Freddie's in Broomall pa , food pretty good there

[@ElT1greVerde]

those glamour shots of hoovie leaning on his first benz are A+ Gold

[@cpsvideo1]

You've got an interesting story. Good job telling it.

[@chrisg6091]

100% honest vid. My family had a huge used dealership + mechanical repair business in Australia for many years. We had a profitable business in 60's, 70's & 80's then the internet hit. The final nail in the coffin was dealer auctions opening to the public. Going niche with rich guys toys is still viable, if you have deep pockets, extensive contacts and have nerves of steal. Never get into finance. Leave that to big finance companies. Note to people thinking they can make money flipping cars : Tyler has an independent income that allows him to clown around with ruinously expensive exotics.

Freddy’s is about to have a spike in franchise requests

[@kerrylewis2581]

Success or failures are important life lessons we must all live through. Looking back you must be thrilled you listened to your Dad as I did which hopefully removed the chance of future failures. Congrats Hoovie on your success and thanks for all the hours of entertainment.
