Car salesman can all suck my dick. Leave me alone and let me look....
Wait, there's no frickin cars on the lot, I'll just order one.
Ordered my car in probably less than 5 minutes...though it did take 4 months ot have it delivered.

How does anyone buy a vehicle anymore?

Buy a Tesla most peaceful purchase ever we bought 2. Price plain and simple from the website, order on your phone. Financing, Lease or cash option available. Seamless, also no more gas price foolishness. Charge it at home in your garage at night end up paying $6 per month additional on your electric bill will the EV reduced rates. LIFE CHANGER!!!

Bought a 2023 Tacoma from Price LeBlanc less than a month ago. They are one of the few dealerships actually selling at MSRP with no “market fee”. They really can’t keep vehicles on the lot. I got on their website and inquired about one I saw back in October. It was already sold. I contacted a salesman that we’ve bought three previous vehicles from there, and he told me he’d check their upcoming allocation for the package I wanted. I ended up having to wait about five weeks for it to come in, but I got it.

Go to manufacturer's website, search available inventory; find what you want, call about it, don't find what you want and call to see if you can order what you want.
/Timetravel to the present from your 1990's method of approaching a vehicle purchase.
Who the hell just walks on a lot to see what they have these days. Who has that kind of time to blow just to make some salesman's day. I call, if they can't help me, I move on. There's no laws about MSRP's. It's a recommended price, dealerships sell for the the going market price, IE what they can get, don't like it? Move on to the next one.
It will all be extinct in 10 years imo. There's really not a strong reason in this day and age for manufacturers to give such a cut to dealerships. TESLA is showing dealerships are unnecessary, and other brands are exploring the move. System sucks, but if you are just showing up at the lot to see what they have, you are going through alot of unnecessary pain.

It's alright. I'm still trying to find out how taking 2 weeks off in 2020 makes vehicle lots empty almost 3 years later.
I guess car production will just be a decade problem.

Tried to buy a Honda this summer and gave up. Dealers have the upper hand now and I will remember the frickery they tried when the tables turn in the recession.

Bought a truck almost a year ago.
I walked in told the first sales guy I saw what I wanted. He said they would have one in two months. Secured financing through my bank, waited two months, went to pick up truck.
It was pretty easy actually.

Ordered me wife’s phone Infiniti at dealership in Mobile since they didn’t have what she wanted in BR. Also they were giving more for trade in. Delivered the vehicle and drove our old one back. Easy deal

It's stupid, and I almost shat myself looking at prices of ford SUV's and trucks.
If you buy a bronco for 40k or more u are a dickjaw, it's a mediocre looking, small, jeepish looking vehicle. Ford steals their designs from other car makers, zero creativity.
My favorite is the interest rate even the credit union is in high 5's to 6%>. Thanks joe

Serious answer.
Leave Baton Rouge to shop for a vehicle.
The rural dealerships are way better to deal with.

I bought a car from Enterprise Rental. Found the one I wanted online, paid cash, drove it home. No hassle purchase.

Buying a car sucks. So does selling a car, apparently.

I’ve actually made a lot recently. Since Covid I’ve bought 5 new trucks and sold them all for more than I paid. Takes time and diligence but I’ve gained about 30k in equity

I’m in Austin but they let me “order” a NX 350 hybrid for the wife. I got to pick what they had coming in and pay a $1000 deposit. No mark up over MSRP but I’m sure they’ll try to sell me a warranty when it gets here. It’s been 2.5 months but the car should be here in two weeks

Was looking at new vehicles a month or two ago, finally quit because almost everyone one was at MSRP+ and no one was willing to discuss. They all essentially told me they didn't have to come down from MSRP because the cars would be sold. Every lot from Mississippi to Houston had 1 or 2 cars on the lot but never the one I wanted. I could order it but it would have been a 1k to 2k deposit and some places told me non-refundable if I didn't buy from them.

We just paid both of ours off and for the first time I have no desire to look for a new one. Usually around that 4 year mark I’m itching to get something new. There’s no way in hell I’m paying 100k for a Yukon or f150 in this crazy market

you actually shop for cars by going to car lots?
