It makes me kind of jealous because me and my father are the completely opposite, especially since my mother died. He has lost himself in drugs, alcohol , and I can’t get along with him because of his hatred and anger bursts. It’s like I don’t even have any parents now. I agree though, you need to cherish it because you are so lucky to have that.

@@jerrylundegaard2592 If you talk out the door or total price plus tax title reg, you really cannot go wrong. Get the total price BEFORE you say a single word about financing. I had one agree to price plus TTR and then they gave me a contract that had the wrong numbers (in their favor). Once I figured this out (it was a pain) they reworked it and still tried to tack on a doc fee of $500. I refused this and they (finally) gave me what I agreed upon. If this happens again, I will ask them to give me $100 cash or I walk. This is, in effect, a fine for trying to stick a broomstick up my out door.

No, both sides will never have an honest conversation about numbers. If any sales person had a conversation with a customer about numbers which was not approved by the sales manager, the sales person would be in trouble. Also, just because a customer leads the way does not mean the customer has dropped their guard. It often means the customer understands what is going on, understands the sales person is merely a middle man, understands to not trust a sales person, and understands he or she controls the process.

This is nice and it shows promise. But... you knew that "but" was coming ... no offence, the car industry is built on dishonest sales and presentation practices and processes through and through. Although a sales person might have honest intentions, honesty in car sales is an oxymoron. There are 'honest' factors; honest, or legally applicable transactions are processed, officially. But dishonest practices include and are not limited to selling brand new flood damaged cars, pre-damaged / accident involved cars (during test driving) - repaired without disclosure, and fee-gauging, coercion, and price-lying. The pressure to sell a car is "ON" at a customer's first visit, because if he walks out he most likely won't buy a car from you in most situations. I know there is a statistic which I don't remember. I also fall into a 'no-sale' statistic because I have bought many cars and the dealers unfortunately know me now. Dealerships often talk with other dealerships about customers. While nobody officially kicks you out and shows you the "LIST" you are on, they do play organized tricks, schemes, and even pranks on you. Well, for sure not everybody. But I have experienced it enough to be able to say, at least it happened to me. I am SOOOO Black Listed because of taking control. Once they notice me taking control, the dealers walk. Is that dishonest? For sure, not, but it is their right, although it is bad enough to be subjected to all their organized games, schemes, pranks, and mocking when you are looking for a deal. And looking for a deal is the American way. "So are you just asking questions or are you actually going to buy a car"... I have been told that many times and that is just very rude and unfair. It is not dishonest, but it falls into 'bad' sales practice.

Hint... don't go in there at all until you have an OTD price in writing. The salespeople do this dozens of times a month. We do it a few times in our lives. It's like trying to beat an experienced chess player as a novice player. They will most likely win. But when you deal from your home, through text, phone calls or email, the ball is in your court, not theirs. Use TrueCar to find out the range of prices for the car you want in your area, and/or use these guys for invoice and start from there. At the dealer they will start from msrp or higher and work down. You want to start at invoice and work up.

As a salesperson I don't get paid off trades and most don't unless they hold on your trade. If we're overpaying for your trade and it's a pain its not worth a salespersons time or beneficial in any way to negotiate it. They're trained to take it away. Meaning just telling you to sell it somewhere else.

Recently had a talk with my dad about some buying tips (he has a knack for negotiating). There was the usual don't get or give any numbers till afterward, be determined in what you want (i.e. taking control), etc. The one thing that really stood out to me is that, while staying polite, don't let the salesperson try to be all buddy buddy with you and lower your defenses. Being a CT technologist, I was like "Oh, so treat them like I would any of my patients when I first meet them." He laughed and agreed. So be polite, but also don't take any shit either. If they wanna act up (a.k.a. jerk you around), end it right then and there.

Good advice. Another way of looking at it is: Don't go out seriously shopping for a car if you don't feel good, deeply depressed, very lonely, i.e. vulnerable to being taken advantage of. If you are already assertive and not easily taken advantage of, then this doesn't apply to you. But, my hunch is that many, many individuals live in a powerless state-of-mind where they don't want to put in the work to be educated, learn street-smarts, rather, they naively insist on the world being a place of trustworthiness and truth. Until...you cross a deceitful car lot where it's primarily about making as much money off of you as possible. Which is why it is of utmost importance to retain the power of your purse. It is your money. For anyone to act like it is their money, just a matter of getting it from you, is what you gotta look out for and head off proactively. Like the OP astutely pointed out, be cautious of the salesman acting suddenly like they are your buddy ( Honestly, they don't know you, why so trusting? ) or ganging up on you with others in Sales & Finance even to the point of subtly shaming you for being "dumb", basically, if you don't purchase their vehicle. Is it truly worth the disrespect and back-door thievery? Who cares if they don't "like" you for standing your ground. Walk in the power of who you are. If you don't know that power, learn it. Do the work. You are worth it.

But you credit score is the ball game for the rest of deal financing you. And remember down payment mean nothing, regardless how much you bring, $1000 will get $20 on your payment, ain’t forth it to give it away money to them, keep you money to yourself, you can use as your first monthly payments later.

I offer immediate $500 down with acceptance my offer that is contingent on a test drive. I set it up so all I have to do is sign when I show up. Usually in and out in 45min. Nothing worse than 4hrs at a dealer trying to buy a car. I leave the financing up to them. If they try rip me off on financing I just pay it off in full when the first bill comes. The price is always negotiable no matter what they tell you. Always

I whip out my iPhone start a 60 minute timer and tell them if we haven’t reached a deal I am walking, the expression on the salesperson is epic. Invariably the sales manager comes to the desk. On one occasion (VW Jetta for my grandson) the clock had run out and I said we were leaving. I guess the actual dealer owner overheard what was happening and followed me out, as soon as I was outside I started dialing another dealer verifying they had a the car in stock. The owner tapped me on the shoulder and said come back in and he would meet my price.

Now that I've been watching several of your videos like this one where you happen to include Subaru in your scenario, I was thinking of both of my new Subaru car purchases and how I really didn't have any control, because I lacked the knowledge I needed to give me more control of the buying process.

Excellent work guys! That role play idea is brilliant. Now, a question; how do you negotiate with a seller when they don't have stock? That's what's happening now, they don't have cars, or they don't have the trim you're after, they're selling really overpriced cars, they're only receiving reserves, and on top of that they have lots and lots of buyers interested in paying anything. How do you negotiate in a situation as adverse as this? I know, it's not the best time to buy or negotiate, but I guess we all can learn a thing or two and do better, after all there are people that really need to buy now.

Your best bet is to find a dealer that has what you want or close to it. (Many people have had to settle unfortunately) If you’re worried about value consider leasing a new one and after a few years see how the market is and decide if you want to stick with it or not. As far as negotiating goes, once you find something make a reasonable offer as it’s true that there are markups and ways to make more money because of the shortage however a reasonable offer considering used cars are also expensive if not the same as a new one you should be able to get some sort of deal. It’s all about building a relationship with your salesperson and dealership to the point they’ll want to help you out the best they can!

I’ve seen several of your videos over the weeks but it really struck me today. Just got through- literally yesterday- helping my 88 year old father lease a car (it made sense for him though typically leases don’t). It was actually my first lease also. Working the numbers on leases is a lot trickier but the one thing I learned (even before watching this video) is always being in control. Strangely the sales manager handled the entire negotiation and he was throwing numbers left in right in an effort to obfuscate. Pretty obvious actually. I could tell my father was getting overwhelmed so I stopped the discussion completely and said “you’re not answering my questions. I don’t know whether it is deliberate or you didn’t hear them because you wanted to get your comments out. But we are going to stop right now and I will ask my questions one by one. I can even write them down if it would help you to remember (admittedly snarky and super passive aggressive).” He looked like I had slapped him in the face but- to his credit- he shut up and let me ask my questions in an order that made sense. Entire discussion/process turn from that moment and he was actually fairly responsive. In closing...Love love love the fact that you guys are so close and obviously enjoy working/ taking with each other.

Out of left field (though love the content on these videos) but my father passed away when I was 5 so I literally never knew him as a person. I don’t think about it much (it’s something I didn’t have at all, more than I lost, so I don’t think the impact is always palpable) But seeing what you’re doing here here really makes me think it’d have been great to get to know him. I have kids so hopefully I don’t mess them up too bad given I have no real mentor for being a father but if me and my kids end up being this comfortable with each other I would think I’d have done a good job with what I had.

Great videos guys. I loved the car business and enjoyed working with customers during that time. It’s great to see tutorials on how to maximize the dealership experience. I would definitely try to tap into the behind the scenes of car salesman more by picking the brains of veterans of the business. Anyone who put in 20+ years will shed light on one fact… Regardless of how prepared the customer is, the average customer buys a car once every 4-5 years. Professional salespeople do this 4-5 times a day every day.

When you tell the salesperson, 'I'm financing through my credit union.' Isn't that the same as saying I'm paying cash? Years ago, I was serious about buying a Honda Civic until I got in an argument with the sales manager because he insisted that I should use their financing. I walked. I felt so sorry for the young sales lady who seemed very honest and sincere.

Well , You can just bypass everything BY NOT GOING TO THE DEALER IN THE FIRST PLACE Here's a tip The simple fact that you walk into the yard of the dealership and say " Hi " Instantly tells the salesman "THIS PERSON DOESN'T KNOW WHAT THEY ARE DOING" see.. if you did know you wouldn't be there The fact that you are saying (and i say this respectfully, ok , and to teach you ) the fact that you are saying "it gives us things to expect at the dealer" Shows you don't know what your'e doing and You're going to return to a dealer when you need to buy a car that's incorrect and pretty stupid (and that's the truth) Salesmen are professional they hear the same bullshit and the same stories EVERY SINGLE DAY , Multiple Times a day They have a rebutle for absolutely anything you can say to them and you are fighting against a superior opponent (so to speak) You basically don't have a chance I mean, What ??? You watch a few you tube videos and you think your'e ready No mate You know how we do it in the sales game 1. You learn the sales process A Process that literally means , if you follow the steps it absolutely leads to a sale. You need to learn each step and what it means and the purpose of the step and the desired outcome of each step 2. you then put this into practice on each client 3. You are put under pressure with the threat of your job and you need to sell 13 Cars a month, Which equates to approx. 3 a day with an extra one at some point You as a normal person or customer HAVE NEVER BEEN PUT UNDER THAT PRESSURE, therefore your sales skills don't mean diddly squat and YOU THINK YOU'RE READY TO WALK IN AND TAKE CONTROL OF THE SALESMAN........... don't be silly You need to understand that pussy salesman do not last and if they fail to sell 13 on even 1 month......JOB GONE he is going to home to his wife with his head hanging low and saying "Honey, i fucked up, i sold 12 cars this month so they gave me the sack, now we can't pay the bills and feed ourselves" then she'll tell him off and maybe leave him You need to understand the pressure that is involved and motivation to hone those skills Try it sometime, Get a job in a car yard for 3 months... i dare you . You'll understand No mate, If your'e trying to win a fight, you don't pick the toughest guy to fight you pick the weakest prick you can find and that's.... PRIVATE BUYERS or AUCTION see at Auction, they don't give a fuck, they just want it gone At Auction, you can have a $30,000 that was under finance, someone failed on the payments, the car is owing $5,000 because the bloke paid $25000 already and now lost his job You can literally get the car for $5k to $6k and Private buyers, Well, Learn what you learn here and then approach a private buyer and play the game, I PROMISE YOU IT'S MUCH EASIER And you'll get a better deal Just remember this , When a person says "Oh no, i can't go any lower than.... whatever" THAT'S BULLSHIT, it always is Not because they are lying to you, but because, 1. They want to sell it 2. You want to buy it 3. You just need to appeal to their greed and motivate them with cash 4. also make them feel as if you are completely fucking broke and you absolutely cannot afford $100 more but you are going to ask your mate who is also broke to lend you $100 IF ONLY THE GUY WILL DO THE DEAL FOR THE PRICE YOU ASK I can tell you shit loads of stories, but here is one a few years back toyota Echo it was a 5 year old car, Good condition He wan'ts $13,000 a bit of negotiation he comes down to $11,000 says he cannot go any lower otherwise his wife will shoot him I ended up buying that car for $5,500 and there you have now Same car in a dealership, MAYBE $10,000 lowest price see the difference Never walk into a dealership IT SHOWS THAT YOU DON'T KNOW WHAT YOUR'E DOING

Generally good info, but one major flaw in the plan at 8:30. NEVER tell the dealer you won't be financing. Don't lie, of course, but Dealers make a lot of money from getting you to finance. If you tell them they aren't going to make that portion, they have less incentive to get you the absolute rock-bottom out-the-door price. If you can't pay cash, check what loan terms you can get from your bank or outside sources before you ever step foot in the dealer. Then negotiate the OTD price you want. After you have that offer, THEN ask if they would like to make an offer on your trade-in. It will probably be low and you will be better of selling to another party, but you never know. Finally, NOW you can talk financing--maybe they do have a better offer than your pre-arranged terms. You might even take the offer even if you have the cash to buy it immediately (though verify there is no penalty for early payment).

Car sales tactics have changed, at least for non shady successful dealerships. As a salesmen myself, i don’t sell cars, I help people buy cars. If the customer told me they didn’t enjoy the test drive or car I wouldn’t go into talking numbers. That just annoys them and is counter productive. There is no such thing as a great deal on the wrong car. I’d apologize to them and ask them if there are any other cars on our lot they want to look at and if not, ask them if they have time for me to give them advice on what to ask the next dealer and give them my business card. They’ll remember you and if they’re a serious buyer more likely do business with you than a pushy sales person. If you can’t sell them make sure the next guy has a harder time than you. Good tips though, educated consumers make happy consumers which makes our job easier

I challenged (salesman) with our set requirements and despite the sales team dragging our deal out, they eventually met our conditions to close a deal. Again, I really hate seeing that the game hasn't changed much in decades but we appreciated the end results culminating in a closed deal. I believe they had plenty of profit left for them and we walked away happy enough because they met OUR parameters (car price)." Pay attention to the fact that I didn't reference a monthly payment amount, I was specific about the bottom line price of the vehicle that I could control the monthly payments with our near perfect credit, cash DP and loan length.

Great video! Being in control of the process is absolutely key. Doing your research ahead of time is also important. Talk to your bank or credit union ahead of time to see what their auto financing options are for you and what your payments would be for a $25k auto loan for 3 to 5 years. Talk to your insurance company to see what your monthly payment will be. Take a look at what a 1-year old low mileage car that you like is going for as a certified used car that has already taken the bulk of the depreciation into account. Know what you are absolutely willing to pay for the vehicle so that when you get to the out-the-door price works for you.

Been watching YAA and THG for 6 months now. Purchased a new 2021 FWD Traverse Premier Redline the other night. Got the Chevy rebate + $3000 dealer cash. No matter what I said, they wouldn't budge.....not a penny....on the Doc Fee. We walked. Played a handful of other Florida dealers against the offer I had from my local dealer.....only 1 matching offer, no one would come in and beat it. Tried again a week later with a car that just got delivered. Ultimately I paid the Doc Fee. Still pisses me off, BUT you should've seen the F&I guys face when I asked him about the Buy Rate, told him NO to his finance numbers and told him NO to his Menu and then said I'm paying CASH. It felt soooo good that I count THAT moment as a WIN.....it was priceless (well, actually I guess it cost me the Doc Fee $$$). After comparing the OTD offers that I had, I still won by a fair margin. To feel better I've been telling myself that the Doc Fee I paid was really me paying for the entertainment of seeing their faces drop a few times! Expensive entertainment and Yes, money was definitely left on the table. I still got it for about $500 below the Dealer Invoice (not counting HB.....etc...). I'm irritated by paying the Fake Fee, but after comparing other offers, I feel like I got a fair OTD deal overall.

That's a win on all accounts. You got the very best price on the car you wanted. You proved that by shopping the your best deal and making the dealers compete. What counts is you got the best OTD, even if it included a Doc fee and you handled F&I like a pro.

What i’ve learned over the years is twofold. 1, if you are uninformed you’ll end up on the losing end of the deal. 2, if they let you leave with the car, they made all the money they wanted to, regardless of how you think you schooled them.

@@Jimba8011 best way is probably finding out how long a car has been on the lot because those are more likely to be negotiable. however, some managers are super stubborn and refuse to get anything less than asking which is fair. But, again problem is why has the car been on the lot for so long, probably overpriced or has some issues.

Next to the police the next most hated job is the car salesman! Thanks for the info the bottom line is they are their to sale cars and if they can con you into paying full price and or with add ons they will do it. And it's not limited to the sales man you need to talk about when they go see the finance guy at the dealer too! The deal on the floor always changes when your brought into finance! Former Salesman of MBenz so I know what your doing and I am greatful to both of you for informing the public. People work hard and buying a car is a huge commitment and absolute necessity for all of us! Dealers don't care about you and never will. so remember they are not your friends and are truly not there for your best interest!!!

Why do dealers keep you waiting hours once you’ve been invited or offered to sit at the salesman desk? Managers and salespeople talk and look at their computer screens while you just wait to get started negotiating. WTH?? We walked out after an hour and no communication

before they walked away, i would have left or at the very least, made it clear my intention to leave if they weren't expedient. if that's how they are going to play it, they can also not have my business. i think that is partially why in this video, our friend here suggests stating you are on a timecrunch

As a manager at a dealership, I would NEVER allow my staff to waste a customer’s time like that. Sounds like you need to find a new dealership. The car buying process (assuming you have a decent idea of what you want) should be no longer than 75-90 minutes from the time you arrive including test drive and going through the finance office.

With advancements in technology, I have purchased my last 2 vehicles without going thru the dealership games. I find the vehicle I want, find 2-3 comps with better prices, and then do all of the communications via email. Not only does it save time, it makes it way easier to put your foot down and stick to the game plan. After reaching an OTD number, only then will I take it for a test drive. Then I’ll go inside and negotiate the OTD price down further based on defects uncovered during pre-drive inspection. It works like a charm and the dealer never has a chance to swindle you.

I ALWAYS buy from the dealership's fleet manager. They usually get a set amount of money for selling the car, not commission-based like the regular salesmen, and are more willing to cut a deal. They like volume sales but will due a single deal if you're ready to pull the trigger. Before I walk onto the lot I call and ask the receptionist who the fleet manager is and if they're working that day. When I get there, I expect to get swooped on by one of the regular salesmen but dismiss them by asking where the parts department is. For added style points, I make some comment about how hard it is to get parts "For my '73 Pinto" (if I'm on a Ford lot for example) and that usually sends even the most zealous salesman back to his cubicle. Then I'm free to stroll around the dealership until I find the fleet manager. I've used this tactic numerous times and it's never failed.
