re: Myth about paying cash for cars

Exactly. Never tell them how your are paying before price is agreed upon

I'm not surprised that people buying a new car with cash are entitled. They are already patting their backs for being thrifty before they walk in.

I feel bad for car salesmen too, but the whole system is shite. Why are car and furniture places the only establishments where you feel like you walked into a third world bazaar when you shop? Just tell me the price of the damn car.

They're going to find out. Every dealer knows they can either get your money on the price of the car, or financing.

This right here.

I tell them what I'm paying; the car+ tax + $100 for TTL and doc. That's OTD.

I email it to 'em (they hate that) and until I get confirmation, I don't come. Eff all that silly BS.

We charge 7.7 for tax, 500 for doc and 18 for title. Along with interest which depends 100% on YOUR credit how the shite does a salesperson tell you what they can do.
Also to the people that come in after researching everything knowing what you want, ther is a proven 82% of the last 5 years that those people will buy somethinf different.
I had one today that I had to spend 5 hours with and drove 6 different cars and trucks to get her approved and in something she liked.

There will always be salespeople. Most people need them. The normal person cant go online and find something they like without ever driving, seeing or feeling the car.

I don't need a salesperson to "drive, see, or feel" a car. You could pay someone $10/hr to sit there while I test drive it.

Also from my earlier post it was not an insult to anyone on their buying techniques but if you come to me with a rude attitude you will be treated like a cold. It had everything to do with controlling the sell. If you can't control them then you have lost. In every sell all parties should win at some point.
Sorry people I know you try to get the best deal, but you don't get gas and say I've done research, you only pay 3 a gallon I'll give you 3.01.

All businesses are there to make money and we're going to try and make as much as possible.
I could have sold a raptor today for 54k but we will wait for the next butter that comes in because of what it is.

Entitlement; The salesperson that builds relationships and a customer base has potential to make easily over 100k a year. It's not for everyone just like teaching, being an attorney, a contractor, a doctor, etc. etc. isn't for everyone. However there are some very successful salespeople out there that generate 70% of their business of of repeat referral business. Customers these days think they know more than the salesperson, that they don't want to go back and forth, yada yada yada. The beauty of it is car buying is one of the last things available that you can truly negotiate. Isn't it a great thing!? Loosen up a little you bunch of angry buyers lol.

Based on the responses of car salesman in this thread, it think TigerWise's next career is clearly going to be a car dealer. Y'all sound just alike
