Maxum...there are so many slices of bad info in your post, I don't know where to begin. They are all just typical, steriotypical, BS concepts. I will not get into a war with you...just know that much of what you say is awful.
My favorite, and only point I will attack. I love where you tell people to make a deal..a deal, in writing...and then take it to another dealer to beat it. After you just stated "hold their feet to the fire". Should they not be able to "hold your feet to the fire?" So, take a salesman's time. Let him demostrate a vehicle to you. Test drive it. Negotiate. Spend a couple hours there....to simply walk out, AFTER MAKING A DEAL IN WRITING??!! So you did not make a deal...and your word is worth nothing. You have now become the liar! And the scumbag. You took all their time, and made a deal...to leave and just go ask someone else to do no work, and they should get the deal? Christ almighty...that makes sense to you?
Here's how we fix people like you...rememeber, you broke the deal first, not the dealer.
Upon you returning to break the deal YOU MADE, the dealer should just say, "OK then. You win. Here's an even better price" And give you the most god awful, unrealist price ever...an immposibly low, not real price. And tell you the papers and car will be ready in a day or so. And then when you return, simply tell you..."oh we're sorry. We have to break the deal. Now...we've wasted each other's time. Haven't we?"
Make a good deal people...but don't be scumbags.
Maxum...you are so freakin wrong when you say the salesaman is not on your side, and does not have your best interest in mind. WRONG WRONG WRONG!
All they want to do is make a deal...never mind price. A new vehicle pays a flat rate...so you are wrong...the price does not matter to the salesman even a little bit. Know what you are talking about, before trying to dispense advice. Really.
I enjoyed my job, and made a great living for 22 years, BY HAVING THE CUSTOMERS BEST INTEREST IN MIND. I listened to their needs (vehicle, finacial concers, whatever) and always worked very hard to match the right customer to right vehicle...and try to make a deal benificial to both the dealership and customer. Don't tell me the saleman does not have the customer's best interest in mind. Get a clue!
