THATS ALL WELL AND GOOD TO SAY..... BUT...................
NOT ALL DEALERS ARE DIRTY DOGS!!!!!!!!!!!
THEY HAVE TO CARRY MILLIONS OF DOLLARS OF INVENTORY TO MEET THE CUSTOMERS NEEDS.
WHEN NOBODY ELSE CAN FIX IT IT GOES TO THE DEALER.
WHEN THE MANUFACTURER MAKES A BLUNDER (I.E. RECALLS) THE DEALERS TAKE THE HEAT FROM THE CONSUMER.
MOST DEALERS MAKE VERY LITTLE PROFIT ON THE SALE OF THE CARS OR TRUCKS THEMSELVES. THEY MAKE THIER MONEY ON FINANCING AND AFTERMARKET SALES LIKE RUST PROTECTION AND EXTENDED SERVICE CONTRACTS.
IF YOU WANT A GOOD DEAL WHEN BUYING A NEW CAR, USE THE INTERNET TO PRICE THE CAR AND HAGGLE FROM THAT POINT. EDUCATE YOURSELF ON WHAT ADDITIONAL THINGS YOU WANT TO PURCHASE.
I DON'T KNOW WHAT YOU DO FOR A LIVING, BUT IF YOU RETAILED A PRODUCT AND A CUSTOMER PULLED A BAIT AND SWITCH ON YOU, YOU'D BE PISSED TOO!
THATS NOT TOO DIFFERENT FROM THE DEALER DOING A BAIT AND SWITCH ON YOU, AND IF THEY GET BURNED A FEW TIMES BY CUSTOMERS, THEY BECOME A LITTLE GUN SHY, THE WILL SHOOT FOR THE SKY AND KEEP YOU "IN THE BOX" FOR HOURS.
THE BEST ADVICE I HAVE IS KNOW WHAT THE PRICE SHOULD BE, HAVE YOUR MONEY IN PLACE IF YOU WANNA GET YOUR OWN FINANCING OR AT LEAST KNOW WHAT RATE YOU QUALIFY FOR. IF THEY DON'T WANT TO HAGGLE, TELL THEM SEEYA LATER!!!! THEY ARE THERE TO SELL CARS, IF YOU WANT TO DRIVE AWAY TODAY AND THEY CAN MAKE A LITTLE PROFIT, IT'S GONNA BE YOURS. THEY JUST PLAY HARDBALL WITH CUSTOMERS THAT THEY PERCEIVE AS GAME PLAYERS.
BUT..................... I HAVE TO ADMIT THAT THERE ARE DEALERS, MORE OFTEN SALESMEN, THAT ARE REAL ASSHOLES - BUY A CAR AT THE END OF THE MONTH, LOOK FOR THE GUY THATS SALESMAN OF THE MONTH/YEAR/DECADE - HE IS PROBABLY THE STRAIGHTEST SHOOTING GUY , AND THE END OF THE MODEL YEAR IS COMING - JUST MY TWO CENTS WORTH.
BUY THE WAY, I DO WORK AT A DEALERSHIP - AS A SERVICE DIRECTOR - I DON'T SELL THEM
