I'm the guy that goes in and pays whatever they tell me to pay because I don't care enough. I'd rather just pay and leave with the car.

I think the next time I buy, I may do haggle the crap out of it just for curiosity sake. And to save some money...

Dealerships are certainly full of crap...

That's a hard sentence to start a post with and expect anyone to take you seriously.

A salesman’s favorite customer is you.

All this bullshite can be done online via email across multiple dealers simultaneously for added leverage.

Imagine wasting your time in person talking to these scumbags.

I just bought a new truck, did 99% of it over text message. I put two dealers against each other with the same truck down to the color and MSRP, was the easiest vehicle deal I've ever made. I walked in with a check, signed a few pieces of paper and was out of the dealer door in 15 minutes.

frick all that. We've got a friend that does mostly fleet sales that we've purchased from for the last 3 decades. I just call him, tell him what I want and he hooks me up with more discounts because he can float a discounted personal sale every so often.

Why do these frickers think they can ask age and what you do for a living like it has shite to do with negotiations.

Is inventory better now?

Seems like leverage is zero when there are only a handful of vehicles within 100 miles and they're all sold before they go to the lot.

This explains so much about you, and should be seen as a clear sign that nothing you say here holds any weight or merit. You're a fricking dumbass IRL, not just playing one on the internet.

I listened to the whole thing to see how it ended...he stood his ground and got what he wanted, but he menitons in there he has a pre-approal check from his bank for 18K USD, 4K USD cashier check and offers to swipe the remaining 4K USD on credit card if they will do the deal right now.

The part of that worth mentioning is that on that 18K it was a loan @ 8.29% for 84 mos. Holy cow!! Good darn job negotiating the price, but that finincing sounds terrible to me.

Well yeah, that's how CarMax works.

You're not buying a new car with that attitude, or you are a complete dumbass.

He could have held for a bit more. That processing fee is simply another market adjustment.

My last truck, I called, he had one coming in, color, everything I wanted. They unloaded, I showed up, swiped my credit card, drove off. My friend owns the dealership. No BS, in fact about a dozen dealerships in the BTR area, are owned by my friends and relatives.

That salesperson was absolutely awful.

Immediately brings up the manager at the first price objection, randomly throws out $500, then $1000 off. Doesn't know if they allow credit cards.

What exactly is the value of having that person selling your product?

Appreciate the video. I love how the dealership was so steadfast on the market adjustment being a part of the overall price when the guy was haggling.

I don't care what dealer you are at if you see ADM you immediately walk and find another dealer. Never ever pay ADM.
