fricking dumb. Take their free money for up to 36 months in most cases.

Kia is a vastly superior machine

I use to own a business and buy a lot of trucks.

I had two salespeople I followed and reason no bs. Both guys called when birthday came around and knew when I was hunting for new truck. One sold GM the other sold ford. I am married to price versus quality not gm or ford.
I always got three quotes to keep them honest. They always had a fair price.

They knew what I wanted.
They knew if the price is fair, the product was instock, and they were white I will buy. I kept my fleet truck color white which because have more selection in fleet trucks.

I wanted the trucks delivered in a certain time frame because I was selling off my existing

Personal truck both guys know I want a fairly loaded truck with sync or gm product, white, decently loaded for a fair price. Typically it comes down to if they have the package on the lot and the price is fair. I always give both a fair shot and spread business between both guys.

I want a car sales person who does not lie to me.

I have yet to meet this person.

I want a sales manager who does not lie to me.

I have yet to meet this person.

Johnny Guiern, sales manager at PL Lexus, lied to me that there is only 3% mark ups on their cars. He was only willing to discount a $49,000 car $1500.

I looked him in the eye, told him I didn't believe a word that came out of his mouth, and left. Drove to Shreveport for a $5000 discount. I called them, they gave me a price, that was that.

Most salesman now and days have no clue what the car is they are selling . They are there to show you the car , then give you a price , then give you to the sales manager . That's it .

I look right through then when I go see a car . If you don't know what you're selling , I have zero respect for you.

The problem with car salesmen is that they love the customer that is stupid and will walk in and pay and not GAF. They do not like to even mess with someone who wants to deal. They are lazy or their managers are lazy.

For me, I want to feel like a got a deal and not like you went in dry on me. I want to be able to compare similar vehicles and prices. I want you to email me options so I can research on my own without you looking over my shoulder. I want you to respond to my calls. I want you to do what you say you are going to do. If I tell you I'm looking for a certain car, then I expect you to call me more than once when that car shows up. I expect that the sticker price is not the final price.

I passed up buying several vehicles last year for the above reasons. Still driving around an 18 year old car because salespeople suck. I'd rather not deal with them.

Female, hot, shuts the frick up and brings back paperwork after I tell her exactly what I will pay for the car the first time. Gets me out of the dealership by the time my car is washed and filled up with gas.

I deal with the same lady every time, and this is exactly how it goes.

Not to mention the rebates offered by many manufacturers to finance with them. Most have no prepayment penalty, so he's literally throwing away free money with his mindset.

I still think he has never bought a new car. Some of his advice is pretty bad for the car buying climate today.

One that gives me the information I need, let's me drive it, and doesn't pester me. I promise you if I want the car, I know where to find you.

This is my offer... It is 1% above your hold back if new. 15% off of a fair selling price if used.

Take it or I walk.

There will always be a guy more desperate to sell than I am to buy.
