I must say this was great, I hope you guys keep bringing videos that simulate a dealership like this weekly or monthly because these are very nice. Matter of fact I was like 20 minutes into the video and I actually forgot I’m actually watching YAA, I really thought I was watching a dealership. This is addicting. Please make these dealership simulations weekly or monthly. This is awesome. It also prepares me for when I have to walk into a dealer ever! 👌👌👌💯💯💯💯💪💪💪🇺🇸 YAA to the rescue, shoutout to Ray and Zach!

Another piece of advice is to shop at the dealership late in the day near closing time. The employees are human and want to go home. They are more susceptible to giving you what you want to get you out of there so they can go home.

[@andrewmeadowcroft8948]

I’m in car sales not all dealerships and sales people are creeps. Some definitely are. We are human beings if a person is respectful and reasonable I will go above and beyond for them. People talk a lot about how sales people are scumbags I can tell you the way that customers walk in and treat sales people 50% of the time it’s so obnoxious disrespectful and rude that a good sales person at a good dealership like where I work will simply tell them we’re not the right place for them to buy and have a nice day and if this is the way they’re going to behave themselves, please do not come back, I don’t agree that coming in super late he’s going to get you a better deal than most people want to go home to their wives, the kids and get some rest generally speaking I would be a lot more dismissive and less willing to do anything except forgive the bottom line, and if somebody wanted to pay it fine But I’m not going to invest 15 minutes before closing just like anything. If you don’t play games you’re not going to have to deal with all this nonsense that people are talking about being upfront about your credit is very important because it makes absolutely no sense to spend hours looking at a car when you have no ability to buy it but if you’re upfront and honest, sometimes running someone’s credit in the beginning, really helps me to find a car that will work for them. Lending criteria is very different for poor credit versus good credit, I think I’m more important question is asking the sales person. Do you make a commission on the front and gross if that’s the case she does have a motive to try to get you to pay as much as possible for the car if he’s being paid on units it doesn’t matter what you pay for the car because the unit is a unit the more cars they sell the greater the commission because on each car, just be kind and polite people will go the extra mile for you especially when most people are total jerks, entitled, and demand unreasonable things and then complain when they’re not given what they want. It is a buyers market right now it’s a great time to buy a used car values are back to reality and a new car. It’s also a great time you would be able to buy below MSRP in most cases if someone’s trying to sell above MSRP you don’t have to buy that car there are other dealers that will tell you the same car without thousands of dollars of tacked on fees

[@SpaceShot]

At some dealerships if you don't play the game they will hold the line on the total price. One way or another there is a margin they want to get to. Sometimes you can find a salesman who understands that you are looking for a total price and if they can agree then they get to go out and sell another car that day. I've even emailed one saying listen this is my price, if you can do it I'll come in first thing while you're standing around waiting for the first customers. You start your day with a sale done. Many refused but finally one took it. Finance still tried to pull all these stunts though.

Talked the sales guy down $2K on an OTD price (probably could've talked them down another $1K in hindsight). Refused all extra plans in the finance office (he wasn't happy with me). I accepted the base loan payment on the dealer loan, and I will be paying the loan off in two weeks with cash and a 401k loan I will pay off in 3 months. I saved ~ $18,000 in interest, fees, and unwanted plans/packages on a ~ $30,000 Camry. Thank you so much!

But I never lied about how I was paying nor did I mention I was paying with cash. If they know you are paying in cash they will not reduce the price of the car near as much as they would if you are financing it with them.

Not sure why my reply got deleted. Never tell them you have cash. I recommend financing with the dealer to get the best deal you can get on the price of the car (if you finance with them they will go lower on the out tye door price). Then, pay the loan off in full when your first payment is due.

When I bought my first car, I felt like they were never gonna let me leave! They kept trying to talk me into an extended warranty and I kept saying no and they didn’t wanna take no for an answer. It became a battle of wills but I was unmovable. I had done my research and knew that this Toyota was still under factory warranty automatically for six years. They finally gave up and I got a great deal. I also knew how reliable Toyotas are and ten years later, I still have it and I never needed that warranty anyway!😂

When I went to purchase my second car I was ready for that package guy. They took me in the back and I denied, denied, denied. I had a family member who could've helped with oil changes and repairs and I had a friend who could've put an alarm on my car to prevent theft so I declined almost all. In the end the guy literally begged me to take something. His words "Please, you gotta give me something, don't leave me with nothing, please". I laughed and only accepted the extended warranty. He walked out the office so defeated. I had never been so pleased.

If I had to face this process to buy meat at the grocery store, I am sure I would be a vegetarian.

[@levibeckman]

I hear you. Thanks for sharing. As an ex salesman, myself, I feel like I can somewhat empathize with both salespeople and customers. One interesting thought that I had, reading your comment, is that we go to the grocery store and we pay 100% markup, or 50% profit, on our meat, and we don't blink an eye. On the other hand, we go to the dealership, and desire to pay as close to zero profit on our cars. They don't own their cars, most of them. They have bought their inventory on credit and are paying thousands a day in interest, whether they open the doors or not. While I agree that fear and anxiety and advantage are terrible parts of many people's experience in purchasing a car from a dealer, I'm neither convinced that it has to be, nor should we be upset when a dealership makes profit. I suppose I find it hard to define if and what "too much" profit is, though.

@@levibeckmanha! I heard this analogy from another car saleswoman the other day. I would rebute this false analogy by first, pointing out the stark difference between used and new products. New products have predictably fixed costs. Used products do not. Additionally, used products add new variables to the listing price (longevity, usage, wear, maintenance cost, etc). New products are mass produced and sold with the same exact value at purchase for the most part. Perishable goods are subject to discounts for example.

[@briancrink]

@@levibeckmantransparency is the key to honest sales. Buyers want to see numbers. Buyers want to see what they’re paying for. Buyers are more than willing to pay the profit amount, given the sale is honest and transparent. Let’s see the trade-in cost of the vehicle, all overhead costs, repair costs, and profit. Then the buyer can identify the deceptive inflated amount remaining.

[@chillpengeru]

​@@levibeckmanCome on, dude. The meat market tells you exactly what the price is up front, not "only 72 easy payments of 2.99!" And there's thousands of dollars difference between an equal percentage markup on meat or whatever vs a car. These sales/finance tactics are trying to pull thousands of extra dollars from the customer, not because they offer value, but because they can often bully or pressure the customer into it and they know it.

Back in the day, prices on vehicles were reasonable to the point as a teenager I could work, save and purchase. Today, the price of a car is much more than I paid for my first house! Dealers make a simple process a nightmare. Your videos are truly helpful. I thank God that both my wife and I saved to a point where we have no debt. Having said that, I don't play games. I research a vehicle and formulate what the vehicle should sell for. I only give a dealer one chance to take my offer. If they look dumbfounded, I walk. Vehicles are no longer a casual toy but a major purchase. It's got to be my way or the highway.

Correct me if I’m wrong, but I think that the key unspoken smart component of Laura’s negotiation to 30k was the part where she did not contest any add-on prices with the salesman, perhaps letting him believe that the difference would be made up with extras in the FI office… otherwise he might not have gone down to 30 even. Laura was far more patient (tactful?) with FI than I’d be. Her interest rate negotiation was impressive, but I simply tell FI that I’m not interested in ANY of their products. They press & I ask if I can return and purchase extras later & they admit that I can, of course claiming sans today’s discount!😂

This video is great. I have had two separate dealers 10 years apart absolutely REFUSE to talk about the out-the-door price. The first was at a VW dealer and when I refused to tell him my "monthly budget," she got her sales manager to come sit down in front of me and proceed to berate me in front of my wife, saying "I guess you've never bought a car before - I'm going to give you a little lesson on how the car buying process goes because obviously it's not going to work how you think it is here." We walked. The second time was recently at a Subaru dealership where - again - the sales manager tried to tell me "if I can offer you some good advice, there's no need to focus on the price of the car - what you need to do is figure out how much you can afford to pay each month on the car."

They called me back a few days later almost at my price, but I still said no because my wife and I had decided to get a different car by that point. We got a Jeep Grand Cherokee and I basically did the same thing - said this is what I want to pay, can you do it? Sales guy said sure, sales manager said sure. Well, close enough - they asked for $200 more on a $50K car and I was fine with that. I also did finance with them and then re-financed six months later. The only difference I can think of is they had 20 of the same car as the one I wanted on the lot.

[@mudman6156]

I guarantee you that you’re dead wrong. You don’t have the slightest clue on what you’re talking about. Getting rid of dealerships gets rid of competition. It also gets rid of the safeguards you have against the manufacturer. That’s because the dealership is actually working for you, the customer. Not so with the manufacturer. They’re only interested in the bottom line. If you end up with a lemon (every manufacturer makes the occasional lemon, even exotic brands), there won’t be a dealership there to help you get the manufacturer to buy back your vehicle. Getting rid of dealerships is just plain STUPID. You have absolutely NO IDEA why the government forced car manufacturers to sell through dealerships. Nearly all products in the United States (and most other countries) are sold through dealerships. Even “WALMART” is a dealership of sorts. These companies help you deal with faulty merchandise. The process of buying a car won’t change just because you buy directly from the manufacturer. It will remain the exact same. But when your car breaks down, that WILL change. The manufacturer is going to be far more prone to blame the customer for the failure, thus, deny the warranty claims. Dealerships would never do that. If you have a lemon, you’ll be fighting the manufacturer for a long time before (and if) they ever buy that vehicle back. Meanwhile, you’ll pay full asking price on every vehicle, which creates even more profit for the manufacturer, because now they’re not having to share the profits with the dealerships. Cars will cost MORE, not less. The cost to fix a Tesla is more than twice that of other cars simply because Tesla can charge anything they want for repairs. Dealerships would never do such a thing. That’s because they compete against each other for the service of your vehicle. But when there’s only one place to repair your car, you’ll be stuck paying what the manufacturer says, regardless of how much it is. Be really careful of what you ask for or you might just get it. You really need to educate yourself on how dealerships work.

Let me just say you guys are amazing I’m 19 going for my first car got a 750 score and I’ve gotten almost 20 tips written down for when the time comes

[@thefpvlife7785]

Arguably your best episode. This puts all of the wonderful things you guys discuss into action. Please continue to make more videos like this which builds confidence in those who dare to enter the dealers pit.

How do they live with themselves knowing they are ripping people off at every turn. It’s disgusting

[@DarMcCree]

Kimberly’s acting skills are on point!! She makes me laugh! Love these!

I’m going in a few hours to test drive my car and I’m nervous about the negotiating process. This really helped build my confidence. 🚙 🚗 these car dealer sales people are torture 😵‍💫

How did it go?

[@riverexplorer]

If I had to go through all this preposterous wrangling for every penny the dealer could shake out of me I’d walk! I don’t play games when I buy a car. I’ve always had my financing when I walked in and I’ve always checked MSRP before I walk in. I never trade (I always sell my own car). I also never buy any protections from a stealership. Their “protections” are nothing more than a profiteering bet they will pocket your money in the end. Yes, I’ve walked out of many stealerships over my 40+ years of owning cars. When they start the shell game I make it clear I will walk unless they stop. Another game I don’t play is sitting around for ever waiting on the finance manager or someone from “the pit”. I tell them up front how much time they have when I walk in and that is all they get! The good thing about buying new is every dealer can get every car. You are not stuck with the one they have today. If it’s the end of the year, that may be different. However, they are never the only one who can do the deal. Be careful out there. These people are unscrupulous, vile, thieves who are out to rob you any way they can. Someday this whole process will be illegal and we can buy from the manufacturer like any other product. Till then, it’s every person for themselves!

Thank you Ray! I have purchased a new Toyota and 2 new Mazdas since 2021, and I have another new Mazda en route currently for another child. Your information has been an absolutely wonderful tool to have in the box during the predatory car buying process….Appreciate what y’all do so much!!!

I loved this video. She had such a great poker face and a smile each time she got her confirmation on more money saved while the car dealer and finance officer reluctantly gave her the discount. The only word to describe her is a ball buster. It is the best show I have seen, even on TV in a while. Lol. Give us more like this. 👍

[@alimcg376]

Educated buyer........ This are all the things a dealer will want to try to sell you so have an idea of what they are worth to you. The hardest part I have found lately (wasn't this way when I shopped 25yrs ago) was keeping the sale price and financing separate in negotiations. They don't want to talk about one without the other.

[@padarousou]

And most dealers would curse someone like this off their property for trying to “scam” them

[@dave5185]

Great video. I've bought a lot of cars and would stick with my credit union even if the rate is 0.2% higher just because I trust them not to screw me over somehow. The biggest lesson I've learned is to buy the right car and keep it for 10 years then swap it out for a new right car for another 10 years. The depreciation and transaction costs on cars are huge so the biggest factor is getting the right car and the next biggest factor is keeping it for a long time.

[@Steeberson]

Honestly, I’m buying a car today and I wish I found this account sooner to watch every single video. I have never been more informed and more prepared to go in there and get the best outcome.
