How to TAKE CONTROL and Save $1,000's When You Buy a Car | Car Dealership Roleplay

On my last new BMW purchase I politely informed the "extra stuff lady" that before she wastes an hour of her time, I do not wish to purchase anything else but the car. She looked surprised and we moved on to closure. Sometimes the employee knows exactly what the outcome is going to be and agrees to not waste each other's time. She moved on to the next customer.

Dont buy extended warranties. If your car breaks down youll still have to fight with the dealer to get it fixxed. They will make excues that that particular problem is due to your neglance. It isnt worth the hassle and give little to no benifit.

[@confused234milo9]

When my transmission gave it was a major pain with a warranty. And still cost about 5 thousand dollars but don't worry if it breaks again I get another one. Still. Why pay the warranty if it's gonna cost 5k.

[@stacyhamilton2619]

You spelled four words wrong. What was the edit?

[@John-vh1fk]

These are great. One thing people need to learn is if you know you do not want these products, learn to say no and be direct. A lot of people don’t like to be stern and outright say no because they feel they are being rude but if you answer with “no, I don’t really think so” or “I don’t think I’m interested”, the seller feels that is an opening to try to explain why they think you need it. When I have been shown this sheet, I let them go through their speech, and at the end when they ask what I think, I say “No I’m not interested” and when they ask why, I just say “I just do not want any of the products”. Usually that ends the conversation. I had a Subaru dealer once tell me “the bank is requiring the extended warranty as part of their interest rate offer” to which I asked “why would the bank care, please show me where they are requiring that otherwise I will just use my own preapproved financing”. They couldn’t come up with it and pulled the “I spoke with my supervisor and he said we actually don’t have to do that.” I know it is illegal for a bank to do something like that if they require you to purchase one of their own products in return but not sure if it is illegal for a dealer to use “coercive tied selling”.

[@fasillimerick7394]

For my first new car, the finance manager offered me the full extended warranty. I told him I had ASE certifications, so I didn't need it. He immediately changed the pitch to "getting an extended warranty shows the bank you're serious. Warranties help things get bought". I already had financing set through my own bank, but I gave him a shot to offer an even lower rate. He was about 7% higher than my pre approved loan. I also made sure we were negotiating at 20 minutes after closing on a Friday night. I had a lot of fun with that prick.

Another reason to go through your Credit Union...mine is $400 for GAP!!! When I get to the F&I office and they start their sale...I let them do their spiel...then I ask for the brochure of the items they are selling so I can read the details. Then I ask for the actual contract to review its Terms. I tell them Thanks, but I need to read up on these. I spent weeks researching the cars to make that decision. I am not going to just sign-up for some unknown product. I then make them mark on the brochure their price and the last date I can make the decision to buy the product.

Went into the F&I guy and when he got to the extended warranty I told him “none of you are on the same page.” He asked me who it was referring to. I said the salesman I just dealt with and even Honda. I went on to say how much I was told about the reliability etc so why would I need an extended warranty? Lol. I got out of there with no add ons and kept the agreed upon purchase price. I was also pre approved from my credit union. Still have this 07 odyssey and running strong.

At the end when the salesman was looking to close I stated I liked the car and informed him what I would pay, out the door everything included, tax, license etc. He wasted no time saying no and tried to negotiate. I told him negotiations were over and if he couldn't meet the price we should part on friendly terms. He continued to sell and I walked out. The next day he called and tried to get me back in the dealership, I asked if they agreed on the price, he hemmed and hawed and I cut him off and told him to call me when he can meet the price, but don't wait too long because I'm looking at other cars. He called two days later and I blew him off. I didn't buy anything at this time.

Helped me compare a base warranty to yours and I asked questions you suggest like “by rate” and “how much do you acquire this policy for versus what I will end up paying”.

This is actually very educational, and very well done. The other thing Zack (the customer) could have done is, especially after watching this video, is, PRE SHOP all this stuff. Go to a forum or something, on the truck or car you want to buy... Start asking, what does the Platinum Warranty really cost?? What's the lowest anyone ever paid??? Do they really pay for repairs, or is it all the sudden a big hassle?? There's websites too, that go over all this.... So, a fictitious example: Now that Zack is armed with holsters full of knowledge... armed with that knowledge, Zack could brace the nice finance lady with "Look, HOW MUCH is the Platinum Warranty".... She will reluctantly say "ohh, it's $3895, but, just the screen in the dash of your new truck could cost that to replace!!!" Which might be true, but the young Zack, knowing that the bottom line on that warranty is like $2000 or so, can say "Look, if you wanna do the warranty for $1900, I'll do it right now, otherwise I gotta shop around on that, or my Dad will kill me..." Aaaannndddd, see what she says! She might say yes! Or, she might come back and say look, $2050 is the lowest I can go on that warranty..." And maybe you say okay, knowing that that IS a pretty good number.... KNOWING, what is going on, in the F&I office, is at least half the battle... Also, where are you buying key fobs for $50?? Could you put up the link?? Last time I needed a fob it was $110-ish for the fob, and then $100 to program it.... Or maybe I got scammed, but I shopped it some....I found out later a local locksmith guy who kind of "specializes" in that would have got me a new fob for a little less, and programmed it for a little less... but not massively cheaper. Not $50 bucks, wow. Maybe you guys really have never lost a fob....

My joke is always, “I know there is always more on the table until the salesman and sales manager have chipped in part of their commission.” If Penetration is so important for the F&I guy, he should pay the customer $50 each for each of those coverages. e.g., price the Gap at -$50 rather than the $795 shown in the video. My attitude is, “If they lose money on one deal a year, I want it to be mine.”

[@albertwells8503]

In some dealerships, especially smaller ones, the salesman also doubles as the loan manager. How do you handle that situation, other than walking out?

[@robertrichey2231]

Hey Yaa thank you for your videos it helped me prepare to buy a new car, I finally was able to purchase the car I wanted and also to my surprise the finance manager had all the prices for items on the menu already I didn't have to ask for them. This time around buying a car was actually pleasant. But most of it was the dealer though they were really good. They gave me a good deal and didn't pressure when I didn't want to buy a menu item. I think what also helped was just knowing how the process goes. I think many of us aren't sure how the process goes and it can cause some stress. Also what was big help from your videos was going over the extended warranty. They did give a discount but I still didn't purchase because not sure if I will keep the car that long. Thanks guys

How do I find the invoice price for the car I am interested in?

[@jimb5113]

I asked a Toyota dealership for a copy of the figures. Finally the salesman ran out with a sales paper but it was not complete and not even on the car I had looked at. I was going to go back for their figure price until then. I drove away and never went back. Another dealer got the sale. It seems once "price comparison" is mentioned dealerships stop wasting their time. To me that means competition is so strong they will not even try. All they want are sucker sales.

[@elizabethYtorres]

I’m a tough cookie and I remember years ago going in to a dealership and I wasn’t getting the out the door number I personally wanted. I walked out. Another salesperson was coming after me and the manager literally said “just let her go”! He was mad mad 😂 that a lady didn’t cave.

[@kevs2good133]

Yeah because you’re probably asking for something crazy like 500 below sticker.

[@elizabethYtorres]

@@kevs2good133 hahaha too funny

[@ohsnapzitzmeng]

what do you do at a dealership that advertises "no haggle price", do they really not haggle?

[@jonsandstrom2356]

I recently purchased 2 Dodges in Florida and the finance manager was unwilling to negotiate the price of the extended warranties period. The only way she came down on price was to purchase a lesser warranty. No budge at all even when I turned it down.

[@kingjames1308]

Buy from chrysler warranty direct or another online like Ziegler. Never buy extendeds from dealerships. They mark the crap out of them

[@JC6one7]

If anyone quickly flips a paper, slides it over, and easily underlines/highlights words that are upside down to them, RED FLAG!! freaks me out.

[@Senerian]

We will need to go over specifics on what is covered in that warranty, and if this is a new car then that warranty need to be included at no additional cost or I would leave.

[@luisjalvareztorres8481]

What the finance department offers you us extended warranty. As in it extend beyond the factory warranty. All brand new cars (and some use ones) come with factory warranty.

[@MonteD1]

I hope first time buyers watch all of these videos. So many young people end up with horrible payments, upsidedown vehicle loans, and crappy credit due to inability to pay.

[@LotusindigoT]

Is there a video for negotiating leasing ?

[@neriomalo1976]

29 months ego I went to buy a car at my favorite Honda dealer here in NY, everything went like in the video but w an ugly sad end. Once the manager felt cornered he just took me out of the office and they took hostage my drive license and credit card for almost 30 minutes or more I think. About the menu products not even dream about taking any documentation hihihi…..is top secret stuff

[@kyleboone8042]

What would really be awesome is if there was a way you could sneak audio into a dealership and just act like your buying a car so we can see the different styles of salesman tricks and responses

[@Richardsmithabcd]

I'm excellent in this office. No on everything. Usually get a little attitude when I reaffirm my no's on everything.

[@msvonb8198]

And they did the friends & family crap with me! Feeling so furious right now! Wish I would’ve found your site earlier. Was looking for info on how to get at fault driver’s insurance company to reimburse me for rental car fees of $500.

[@mikey.a704]

Not true always. As someone who works in service side of the dealerships. Those extended warranties come very handy. We get some of those very costly repairs covered with the warranty otherwise the customer is responsible to pay out of pocket thousands of dollars. In most cases they have to pay a small deductible based on the amount of repair. Tire and wheel is a great product also, a lot of customers have bad driving habits or live in an area with bad roads and those come in handy. You will probably use it at least once or twice if not more.

[@patrickgagnon5450]

Question , how do I purchase one on the thousand 2020 trucks sitting in a lot at a race track (ford) or at an airfield (GM) ?

[@Oxios]

You have to wait for them to finish. Those units should not even be listed for the public since they aren't counted as "built" yet. But tire flat spots and potential for pest damage for stuff sitting on fields would make me avoid those anyway. Let the manufacturers do a 2nd QI at their plant. Not interested in buying a rotted husk.

[@lindaabuhasou2635]

What is considered a base payment?

[@KillerofGods]

Pretty sure that is the payment without all of the add-ons and is just for the car.

[@spiderfly9684]

Hello , Years back In 2001 when I worked for third tier supplier, we had a discount To buy any Chevy . We choose to buy Saturn For the family. Finance person advise us strongly to get gap coverage. It wasn’t was choice because after buying the car, the company I work for was making the engine Block casting and that block had lots of issues. So In a year and a half we traded that vehicle and got rid of the gap coverage portion of the gap coverage payment back to us. Now we have a 2015 Toyota Corolla le No gap insurance it runs great. He gets the oil change in it every 3000 miles now I change the oil because one of the mechanics Left the filter wrench stuck on the car. The only way I found out that I gotta ramps To see what the bottom of the car looks like and that’s how I saw the wrench stuck on the filter. Lol

[@davidfoulk3078]

I walked out of a F/I office once when I asked if I could double dip a warranty claim. You know, Claim it on factory 3/36 year warranty and then turn right around and claim it on the additional extended warranty after some word salad and word trickery he said no. He said that only after the factory 3/36year warranty was up would this extended warranty pay. I walked out when they tried to charge me for something that I couldn’t even use for three years, such a scam. BTW I only drive 10k miles a year.

[@karaobey3085]

Wow! Nice going on that Zack. Shop around always

[@boeandthelizards]

What is base payment and why is that important?

[@ScanFan_Ed]

I don’t know how most finance managers sleep at night or live with themselves. I took my daughter in to purchase a car, and had warned her what was going to happen in that office - and it did… The finance manager was sleazy, making the dealership look bad. The finance manager was not happy that we shot him down on everything.

[@Ryan125y]

When it comes to extended warranty on a new car. I simply ask is this a bad car? Will it break down often? What is the expected cost for repairs?

[@RogerOtzenberger-je4oj]

What about price listed on car sticker? Where do I go to see real cost to dealer? Love this!

[@chodkowski01]

They need 2 more videos of 1) inexperienced buyer and 2) experienced buyer. I bought 13 brand new cars from dealerships and you have to know how to play the finance manager. They don’t like when you know the questions and you move through the process quickly with just yes or no answers. Or if you don’t mind standing up and walking out. They have your telephone #.
