@@eppyz The manufacturers have a “floor plan” for dealers. If the car sits on lot too long, dealer has to pay manufacturer interest I guess the manufacturers are in the business to make money, so the dealership scenario is best for them

​@@Tropicalfrooploopsnot everyone just knows what they want to buy, a lot of people come and test drive for a reason, multiple cars even. Your paying for the convenience to be able to come and first hand experience if you'd want to live with a large purchase. Due to the way the world works a business is needed to provide that service. In doing that service you have a fee. This fee will rise with inflation and other financial "crises" it's just life. So yeah you really do need some type of a dealership and the nicer it is and more it has to offer the harder to keep afloat.

Great video. A few things I’ve noticed after buying many cars over the years. 1. Almost every time without fail when I was looking to buy a vehicle one of the very first things the salesmen asks is if I have a trade in. This video the salesmen(Ray) does not ask about a trade in which in reality would never happen. This is important to dealers because as soon as they know you have a trade in they are doing calculations on the sale of the new vehicle with your trade in calculated in. 2. Buying a vehicle with out a trade in is a much easier process in terms of what the numbers actually look like. As someone who looks at P&L statements every month dealers love to hide the actual number of the sale when you have a trade in.

Always go thru fleet/internet sales, and never deal with the retail dept. (clowns standing by the door)under any circumstances. Ask for a fleet/internet manager.

I know one thing. If you're trading in a vehicle, never give up your keys because they will hold on to them trying to get you to buy the car. They don't want you to just get up and leave. When I buy a car I tell them the most I'm willing to pay and that's all. I don't try to lie or play games. I am honest and I will tell them this is my top price for this particular vehicle. If they cannot meet that price then I will move on. I walk away the moment they start trying to get me to buy at a higher price after I already told him my price cap. I do not like pushy car salesmen and I cannot stand dishonest car salesmen. If they honestly tell me that they cannot meet my expected price then I can move on and maybe find something else that's a little cheaper. Or I can look into perhaps less accessories or something. I just hate when they waste my time

[@thomasciccone528]

This is a bad and inaccurate take. You have to give your keys to the salesmen in which the salesmen gives them to the sales manager to do a proper appraisal of the vehicle. They have your keys until you’re ready to go. If you’re too much of a coward to say, “no thanks. I’d like my keys back.” Then stay home

[@tmendez31]

@@thomasciccone528 ummm wrong. I’ve gotten to where I start threatening to call the police if I don’t my damn keys back and they finally give them back. But when the appraisal is done, they don’t give the keys back and hesitate to give them back because they are righting for the sale. I’ve seen it with me and others who do not get angry, just frustrated. So if you don’t know my experience and what I’ve heard people in the industry say, the you may wanna keep from embarrassing yourself and just keep quiet. Idiot. It may be different where you live. But I’ve been in Cali, Texas, North Carolina, Louisiana, and Ohio. None of those states had dealerships where they give you your keys back when they are done appraising them. You have to start getting upset when they stall as long as they can. Only a moron would try to say my experience is inaccurate as if my eyes lie to me.

I don't enjoy it but think I will do better on my next round of negotiations on the next one. I am not claiming expertise but my rules are: Be honest, be persistent, ask for a lot, and give a little.

Just stick to your guns with a realistic but lower price and dont pay BS markups. Better to go without the car for a bit then settle too much. The biggest thing is be realistic, but be ready to walk.

[@dyyylllaannn]

Lease deals are straightforward just make sure you're looking over your itemized invoice

[@mikediiorio7949]

Incorrect you still have to negotiate the MSRP that's makes the Lease payments to the lease company.always lease or buy negotiate MSRP 5% to 15% off.

[@dealforbet8888]

I was so anxious watching this negotiation, I had to stop halfway through! The dealer always seems to have so much psychological leverage, how do we level the playing field?

[@humbertojvanegasjr9912]

by paying the asking price, and agreeing with a clear breakdown. SIMPLE.

[@BrandenBlackford]

As a salesman if you come to me and don't try to lie and play games then I'll be upfront with you and either you can afford the car and the price I give, or you can't. The car is worth a value. If you want a real non negotiated price at the lowest, come in and if it's a common car, ask for invoice, they'll usually at least do MSRP which is hard to argue. If you really want to argue, you can get invoice on some cars. But I'm not gonna do invoice on a rare car that's highly sought after that's just silly. Everything is situational and realistically business is business, yes they CAN take a negative deal just to move the car, but I personally think that's just not good business practice and it's not going to be Everytime.

[@dddd-uk4vn]

Remember that there are thousands and thousands of other cars out there for you to buy Remember the dealer needs to sell this car to you MORE than you need to buy it Remember that in a normal market, every single car typically depreciates 20% in a year (excluding hypers/collectibles obviously) and even more over time, there is NO reason to be paying ridiculous prices for something that WILL decline in value - in many cases if negotiations fall flat you're better off going elsewhere You can keep the upper hand by wanting it LESS than the dealer, even if its a car you really want its not worth buying it at an inflated price given the inveitable depreciation

[@jmanf223]

Be realistic! Most dealers will try to meet you halfway if not more if you’re negotiating in the same solar system

[@user-kr911]

@@BrandenBlackfordI really hope this advice your saying works because after watching this I’m terrified about buying a car tomorrow. I’ve spoken to at least 5 car salesmen in the last week and almost all of them were complete dicks even when I’ve been just asking basic questions about the vehicles. They were almost acting like I was already trying to set up my bargaining leverages. But really I’m just trying to be informed with the vehicle I plan on purchasing and at the same time im terrified about doing something like these guys did in this video. I don’t wanna play any psychological warfare I just want to pay a price that is reasonable and not be got.

[@Ed-sh8jt]

Another ploy is once you agree on a number and when they pass you over to a finance person. they try to add more items like gap insurance , warranty extension plans,oil changes for service plans. one guy kept telling me if the lcd gave out one time it would cover the cost of the warranty. then another wanted to raise the intrest rate when i asked him to add my wifes name to paperwork.

I’ve dealt with a few like this. I try but once I see they won’t deal honestly I get up and leave but not first without telling them off in a firm but non threatening way.

I never asked for buy rate (didnt know what that was until now) but i still managed to do okay and get a decent interest rate. Didnt get any added warranties and looking at the line items now, i didnt have to pay for anything "extra". I did however, have to spend two weeks of goung to different dealerships talking salesman down and comparing cars/deals. I got lucky!

[@connorscheumann3457]

I want to start by saying I love your channel and you helping others! With some of the dealership experiences I have had, I try to help as many people as possible. I do wish that you continued the conversation, as I have never seen a business manager come back below what you asked because you have a trade. The only exception would be if they plan on just undervaluing your trade by a couple of grand. This is where I wish you expanded the video to show how you would handle that as if you backed out of the trade, I don't see them honoring the original price as they told you that price was with the trade.

[@airbornesoldieramerica7125]

I like your comment. This channel helped me out a lot when I bought a truck last year around this time. Know I saved myself $500.00 and also saved myself about $4,000.00 from a deal that I back down just cause from listening to this channel, maybe if not more money I saved. Don't think I did great, but admit I made a few mistakes, but at least there was NO laughing at me and No high fiving and No celebrating parties when I left that dealership. And I know I got under their skins to some point, cause I know they didn't have a good time with me. And know I did better then so many other people done when they bought a car or truck during the covid19 lockdowns. I even recommended this channel to some air head in my family after I bought last year, cause I knew she was going to buy, but this person she is an very stupid person, and she didn't listen to me and she was stupid enough not to do none of her homework etc... and she got screwed. I was 1 that tried to prevent it, but o well what can I do, its not my money.

Been talking with the sales guy and brought up if their prices online are their otd prices. He said no but I want him to think I know what I’m talking about. I pretty much told him “let’s make a deal, if the numbers work out I’m sure we will do a deal” my sister is like “no, we’re gonna refuse the first two offers and make them give us a good deal” 😂 I just want to do good business and within my limits

[@AlexS.2016]

Awesome, really!!! well done. I have never bought a new car in under 6 hours of negotiating ever!!!. Arguing from the spare tire to the scent of the air freshener. Even left and they have called me back. Until the very end, then I sign. When they see me in few years, they know I am serious, and that I'm going to buy and here we go again. Remember this, no matter how good any deal is anywhere, if you drove it out the gate, they still made some money on it. If you don't fight hard for what you want, it's on you. It's amazing how many people just go ok. Really, try really hard, no shame.

Gotcha motors? It's more like Gouge-ya, lol. Good video! I'm still driving a 16-year-old Ford Freestar because I don't want to have to go through this hassle. I'll hold off for as long as I can, lol.

[@mannys8090]

1 trick that can be effective is going to Yelp if you feel a dealership wronged you. Bought a brand new 2024 Highlander hybrid LE nightshade recently. So a dealer was advertising the vehicle for 43k, i told another dealership about the 43k price and they straight up told me they didn't believe me. I sent them proof and Went on Yelp wrote about the experience and the next morning they contact me wanting to sell me the car at 43k, i basically said to get my business you guys will have to offer me a deal i can't refuse especially after basically calling me a liar but not in those exact words. In the end got them to sell me the car at 42.5k plus taxes. I put it on the dealership to make it right and they did.

[@johnchang3807]

The mark up is insanely high, in Oz a new toyota corolla cross discounted by $6000 oz dollar for toyota staff member , and they still make profit. A general public would mostly get up to $2000 discount if they got lucky. So, lesson is always aks for a big discount or walk away and dont Forget to write up your experience in google review or any review website to inform others and put pressure on these mafias.

[@Edward-tp5nc]

They make bigger money on your trade. Never trade! Sell your car outright. Then go horse trade. A friend of mine sold new and used cars and he said they’d buy up used cars for 5000-9000 all month long then almost double the price. Just watch when a really nice used car some in. If it sits 4 months they will likely drop the price 3 grand and still make 3500!

I just started watching you guys within the last week or 2 and 100% a treasure trove of knowledge I wish I had when I bought my first car brand new and my second car used. I have a question though I am looking in to buying a new car soon. A few manufactures have been offering 0% APR on new cars. I am interested exclusively in these types of deals. When it gets to the financing spot do I tell them then that I am interested specifically in that deal and nothing else?

In the 90's I was club racing VW's and we had a VW dealer in suburban Chicago that sponsored our club. I am a engineer, and being in the maintaincence sales end of that business I had sales experience. As a favor to the dealer who was short sales staff, I agreed to work for them. A recently retired gentleman who wanted to buy a new silver Beetle came in. We agreeded on price, and when I went to the mgr. I was told the dlr. wanted $3,000 over list due to it was silver, and only 2.5% of the Beetles were painted silver. I begged the customer not to take the deal since it was outrageous. I begged him not to take the deal. He wanted the silver Beetle, and paid the price. I was paid $935.00 commission on that deal. To this very day I still feel bad about having sell that car at that price. I always felt I was there to help people meet a need, and not to make a killing. The mgr. told me I would never make a good car salesman. To which I agreeded, and resigned.
