Thanks for continuing to expose the chronic level of dealer malpractice endemic in America today.

There's a website for a dealership, that advertises for 2023 and 2024 models $10,000 off MSRP. I clicked it, it said terms and conditions apply. It also had a box for me to fill out, and a checkbox that says "I understand terms and conditions" So I clicked on the terms and conditions and it said to "see the dealership." Weird how they allow you to say you understand it, when you can't even see it unless you go to the dealership, which defeats the purpose.

Contracts of adhesion are insane.

I bought a brand new 2025 Honda CRV and did it completely via text and email. Only phone call was to give them a $500 deposit. Set up an appointment the next day and spent an hour at the dealer with zero hassles and drove off. I told every dealer I reached out to that I was not coming in to negotiate. I told them they sell a commodity that I can buy at any Honda dealer within an hour of my house - amd I’d buy based on price. I was $1,800 under MSRP with low dealer fees and zero bullshit add ons. I’m happy with my deal.

I recently called a CDJR dealer requesting the out the door price on a Dodge Charger they had in stock. After three promises, and 11 hours, there closing time arrived with no information provided. They called and text me multiple times, but told me nothing. The next day the GM e-mailed me asking what he could to to get my buisness. I told him what happened, and that his team blew it. Its like they don't want to sell cars.

It is so frustrating to deal with dealerships. I'm car shopping in Dallas. I sent inquiries about a couple of cars to Toyota of Grapevine asking for dealer fees, document fees, loan origination fees, and out the door price. The salesperson completely ignored my questions and went directly to asking when I'm coming in for a test drive. I replied saying I'm not coming in until I get the numbers, the salesperson says that their policy is to only provide details in person. What a nightmare it is to buy a car

Sounds like dealers have gone from one extreme to the other, from aggressively trying to close from the moment you call or walk in to almost total indifference.

I’ve been trying to get some information by email and I immediately get a reply. It’s always the vague long email with “our team will get back with you” and never answering any question. I feel like they are using AI to write these emails due to how fast, vague, and similar they all are. I’m at the point now where the dealerships have convinced me I don’t need to buy a car.

I’ve been selling cars for 16yrs. The dealerships like to train you to give JUST enough info. They view it if you give the customer everything over the phone they have no need to come in. I never truly understood this and that’s why I didn’t adopt it.

Those internet departments are a total waste of time and resources.

I've been to a few different dealerships. Chevy, Nissan, Toyota (multiple), and Lexus. My best experience was at Lexus. They didn't do scam add ons. Salesman stayed on MSRP. Quick and easy. Worst was at a Toyota dealership. Chevy had a $500 off MSRP ad. My husband asked about it and the salesman laughed in his face. Told him it was a joke and it shouldn't be taken seriously. It's so ridiculous how these dealerships are.

This is normal dealership practice ray and Zack. They try to be vague as much as possible…..until you get in the door. Then they unload fees.

You can't get a price on a Toyota or Honda in Canada unless you're in the store. It's not bad training it's monopolistic.

You should know that in modern dealerships, all the juicy sales numbers are closely guarded by either the sales manager or the finance manager. Peon sales people have to go into the office to discuss numbers with the manager, who will approve cutting a little here or there and send them back out to you with a counteroffer. You can't bargain directly with the person in authority anymore. As far as giving you detailed sales figures over the phone, dealers have learned that doing so will make it possible for a customer to pit several dealerships against each other in a phone-tag bidding war and they refuse to partake in it.

I just came from a Toyota dealer and I could not get an out the door price. I asked for OTD price three times on a Rav4 and could not get it. I told the sales person I either get a price or I go to another sales person and they chuckled. Wow. I went to another sales person and they said they can't help me since the previous sales guy got to me first. I asked for the sales manager and was told they were not available. I paused shortly, and raised my voice a little and let everyone in the dealership know that I wanted to buy a car, "Will anyone sell me a car today?" Everyone, including a couple of customers, stopped for a second, then went on with what they were doing. Apparently they don't actually sell cars at this particular Toyota dealership. I walked out.

Did you actually want to buy a car or did you just want to know the price? Those two things are not the same. You can ballpark the out door price probably within like a couple to a few hundred bucks. The sales person must have deemed that you were not serious and cut his losses.

I negotiate land transactions all the time and I find that giving the highest and best offer upfront for our asks is most efficient, and I wish car dealers would do the same when selling. Sure there's sometimes room for negotiation if say 5 deals go very well we can maybe allocate some better pricing to the 6th deal, but it's not like we're talking about any more than maybe 5-10 percent change in the single offer. Removing dealers from this equation should bring prices down for buyers and increase volume for manufacturers. Let's work on that

What is irritating to me Is that most salespeople don't know details about the cars they are trying to sell. It is really refreshing to go into a dealership & a salesperson knows more abt the car than you do. So not knowing finance details is not surprising. The ignorance they display just gives them the chance to f)imflam you.

going back some years ago I stopped at a Toyota dealer to look at a 4runner. I was looking for a TRD model which the dealer didn't have but he had a Trailsport that was a leftover. I took it for a test drive. Afterwards I asked a simple question which was how much is that vehicle. I got everything from can you afford $700 a month down to $400 a month. After a 1/2 hour of the salesman going back and forth the manager comes out of the office and starts giving me a hard time saying I'm wasting his time. I told him I asked a simple question and you can't give me a straight answer then I turned and walked out. That not only cost them a sale that day but several sales from friends and acquaintances that went and purchased from another dealer after I told them about my experience there.

Sales training? What sales training! I worked on the new car lot for a GMC/Pontiac/Buick dealership for over 2 years. There was no training whatsoever. If you wanted to learn the particulars of the cars (engine, trim, etc...), we were told to read the brochures. We were simply expected to find out what kind of car the customer was looking for, get them to drive it then turn the customer over to a closer. Occasionally I got to work the 4-square but invariably the manager would send me back out to get another $500 or so despite how good a deal was on the paper. I left after they hired a new sales manager whose policy was that you had to be on the lot 7 days a week because... "you can't sell cars if you aren't on the lot!" The dealership was open 9-9 and you were expected to be there at least 8 hours every day.

Great video....I'll watch your lease videos but what are some things you should be aware when leasing? Based on the video I picked up OTD, Residual value, Money factor.

If I can't get an out the door via phone call or email, I don't even consider coming in to be tortured for hours until I give up and accept a bad deal.

They want more money down and the payments are higher for the exact same terms Toyota is advertising. Same length and same miles as what was advertised. This tells me the Vegas dealers are charging full MSRP, like what Toyota is advertising, but they're adding unsanctioned fees on top and putting those in the lease.

In fact if anything was wrong or missing in the disclosure the dealership would call and as for a retraction letter . I think the retraction letter was abused by dealers. I think They would give us a wrong low price to advertise and after it was printed. They would request letter stating the correct price. A tactic to get calls and walk-in cutomers

Thats the reason carmax is still in business on getting people a car without any hassle

Ray, you know they want you to come in. You can’t turn an opportunity into a deal if they’re not in front of you. Once you’re in the door then they can work you to make the deal happen. But if they give the information over the phone you’re not likely to come in.

This is why I hate going into a car dealership. We need to move direct to consumer model.

She wasn’t a sales person and she wasn’t extremely helpful. She kept saying ummmm…. like she was lying and unsure of what she was saying.

Amazing but not surprising! Everything emanates from the top down. Management controls the numbers and management controls everyone below them. We're witnessing a great example of poor and weak management which sadly is prevalent in most dealerships. If a customer is not a buyer right now, the customer is not going to get numbers (to shop on), and it's the salesperson's job to put 'em out the door (as politely as they can) without any meaningful numbers or information.

I have been talking to car sales people for the past two weeks and my head is about to explode.

Wow, I can't believe how shady some dealers can be. Thanks for exposing this and helping others avoid similar situations! This was an eye-opener! So glad you caught everything on camera. Definitely going to be more cautious next time I'm car shopping

It isn’t just a training issue. The dealerships do not allow salespeople to give customers information. We are criticized and ridiculed for not “being in control” of the customer if they won’t agree to come in without any information.

Well the lady on the phone was polite!😅 Give her that much Ray!

As a past car salesman the ads are designed to get people into the showroom or generate a phone call to the dealership to be converted into a showroom visit.

If govt entities won't protect car buyers, then these 3rd-party aggregators of cars for sale should. They need to make it a condition to advertise on their site that the price posted cannot be after a down payment of X thousands of dollars and if there is a standard doc fee or 'prep fee', it should include that or have it clearly disclosed upfront. These car dealers want to get their listing up to the top by offering a 'great price' instead of a 'fair' deal which might appear on page 2 or 3 of a search on the 3rd-party site. That's why they do it (among other reasons)..

why do u want to know the residual value? how does it help in negotiating the car ?

Do they take suggestions for dealerships? I called a local one today and it was insane the questions they asked before saying they would call me back with the OTD (including how long I have lived in the area and my social security number!!).

Great video. I truly believe that the "chatbots" and the first-line phone sales are probably new sales employees who don't know crap about car sales. They are just there as an intro rather than a source of information. Granted, as discussed, they should be trying to reel this fish in rather than just blindly blow off the opportunity.

I’ve never bought a car from a dealership….and I’ve also never understood the whole process….its hilarious 😂

Customer Service, Sales, Services, Operation, Internet, and Finance, either they all don't really talk to each other at all and work in silo (so they can't interfere each other's business) or they have been talking to each other to manifest the "stealership conspiracy" with the motto "How much can you rip-off"

Spot on!

Notice fees are not listed on the add.

Thanks!

I knew it would come back to "it's all about the payment" what does the rest matter. Which means the they need the application and so on - how much they can get you to get into with all the variables that are the "what does it matter" you are willing to not scrutinize.

Did Zack clone himself? It's near pointless to call or email these dealerships, they all want you to come in so they can wear you down over hours and make a stupid mistake.

Could they expose the dealer? Sure, but what they are trying to do is teach, cause this dealer isn't the only one that the average shopper is going to come across doing this.

In and of itself, is the residual value such a competitive issue? Informed customers. Or as Sy Sims said: An educated consumer is our best customer.

@CarEdge, You guys should call a Tesla location asking the same questions about an used vehicle through them.

I need a small suv . I’ve looked at used and the prices are still too high. What is the best option for a luxury suv right now ?

A small suv is just a lifted hatchback car. Just go buy a car.

Horse N carriage.

I may just get a Tesla (or Rivian) or Porsche (when they go that route) for direct to customer sale just to avoid dealerships as much as possible.

I was looking at BRZ's last year for months and dealers were advertising cars that weren't even in stock yet and just like this they wouldn't give up details about much. I was in a position to buy the car outright for cash but we didn't even get that far and used ones were being shown at over MSRP. Ended up with another Cayman from a small dealer in AZ that sells a lot of European vehicles, had great reviews from repeat customers, it was below retail book and they let me take it for a pre purchase inspection. From what I'm seeing about car dealers that are going under I'm better off with an older car that I can do a lot of the maintenance on myself and not play dealer service advisor games. Let them starve!
