Yes! I experienced Friday a dealer who boasted about advertising the lowest prices in a 250 mile radius. When we went to work the deal they had inflated pricing by adding bogus charges. I walked, told them I was moving to the next dealership.. which was MUCH more honest! It ended up being a better car at a better OTD price!

New car dealers are getting worse every day. Absolutely amazing the blatant lies they tell. The fees are ridiculous. Tell these dealers to take a hike. Here's a news flash....there are thousands of identical cars / trucks available just like the one they are trying to sell you.

You can absolutely negotiate a deal by email or phone. Know the car VIN in advance or have a specific list of options prepared to act as the basis for all discussions. It sends a strong message that you are a serious buyer and know exactly what you want. Walking around the lot like a lost puppy instantly makes you a target for dealer games. If the dealer can't give you a cost breakdown by email move on. If need be give them the car in question and ask for a cash price, a lease price and a finance price. All pricing is "out the door" with all fees and taxes built in to the final proposal. Once you have all the information do your math and thinking at home, never in the showroom. I also never test drive and buy anything at the same time. Test drive, go home, get the numbers by email, then decide. When you walk into a dealer to actually buy a car it should be just to pay for it and pick it up. Most dealers don't deserve much respect and like the video states - if they play games just get up and walk out. Don't even say thanks and goodbye.

When I sent my very direct email to about 10 or more dealers with in a few hours driving distance, a few didn't reply, a few just wanted to get you to come in to see a sales proposal, a few actually sent a sales proposal I had 3 to sort out. one had addendum items added and was eliminated from contention.

If I'm not going to get a discount while in the dealership, why even bother going into the store lol. Just let me get ripped off buying directly online.

When I purchased my Tundra the fiance guy tried to get me to buy extended and gap warranty. I told him that your dealership only sell me third party service it's not from your dealership.

I can personally vouch that there are good dealers out there. I’m 72, have purchased 77 vehicles in my lifetime and yes, there are horrible sales people and there are very good ones. When I retired at 58 I was offered a sales job at a Honda/Acura dealership that I had bought several cars from and had always thought highly of them. Our business model there was to nurture a personal relationship with the customer so they became a customer for life. They believed the experience the customer received on their first purchase there should leave such a great impression that if down the road they wanted another Honda or Acura they wouldn’t even consider going anywhere else. In the 4 years I worked there I never was the top salesman for the month BUT my customers loved me. They saw me as genuine as someone who valued them as a customer. Low pressure and honesty goes a long way in the car business.

Total Saved buying in Tennessee: $2193. My only installed option was mud guards for $150. AWD and 4x4 are very difficult to find in the South East, but they have a lot of them in Tennessee, which is in the Michigan and Kentucky zone. The Phone Charging Package is nothing more than a 12V Lighter Adapter with 2 USB cables, worth maybe $39. I later added the Roof Rack Cross Bars for $188 DIY from Toyota Parts.

Read all reviews!! My son worked for a dealership (for a short time) and one other trick they use is to have each salesperson have their family & friends write 5 star reviews, even if they have never purchased a car there.

Anderson Ford in Kingman AZ has treated me well, both in sales and service. If I were foolish enough to purchase another Ford it would definitely be from them. They are an hour from my house. My local Ford dealer is decent on sales but service is terrible. My most recent purchase was a 1 year old Ram PowerWagon. I looked at new ones, all Priced between $75,000 and $90,000. No way I would pay that kind of money for a truck. I found a used truck just like I wanted at a Chevy dealer in Lad Vegas for $55,000z so, I saved almost $20,000 and it only had 22,000 miles when I got it. The vehicle has been flawless. I have bought my last new vehicle!

The problem is when all dealerships are doing some of these practices. I'm surrounded by several of them and they are all guilty of some of these. I've seen markups, pre-installed protection packages, the "come to the dealer now" pitch, the car you want it's in the lot today but you call tomorrow and the car was sold. No good option is left. So I guess it's up to the consumer to deal with this, like saying no dealer installed add-ons. And be ready to walk away and not forced into a bad deal.

You just saved me a lot of Money and Grief. Great advice Thanks

Depending on the product I always look at the one star review and what they have to say as opposed to the 5 star reviews.

Some dealers are getting better. In December I was shopping for a new crossover in Daytona Beach. The only dealership where the salesperson had his "boss" basically block my way out and do the "What can we do to put you in a new Sportage today?" hard sell was the Kia dealership there. I told him (just like I told the salesperson) that I was checking them all out at every dealership to find the one that's just right for me and I wasn't finished looking yet. I'd decide when I was finished doing that. That was the only dealership I crossed off my list out of the half dozen I went to. I haven't bought dozens like Untamed has (😆), but i have bought 8 new cars in my life and it wasn't my first rodeo. Those tactics are an instant turn off and I'm out the door. That market segment is too competitive with too many options to put up with that.

Just went thru some BS w/local dealer around my trade and unfortunately I did it first instead of last. Needless to say it just a waste of time playing “the game” w/them and I will never buy anything from them again. Purchased a truck in 2018 and thats why I went back. Wont be contacting them again ever. So I did what U suggested and left a 1 star review and explained why.

Really great advice. No arguments here. I wanted a 2023 Golf R 20th anniversary model. The local dealers, Atlanta, GA. metro, all wanted $8k or more over sticker. Not necessarily in actual markup, but added "stuff" like PPF or coatings, etc. I just could not justify such and knew I would be losing all that money when I sold. I actually never tried to negotiate for the car. I have no idea if they were able to sell at such prices or not. Same with a Toyota Corolla GR, huge markup's. I went with a VW Golf GTI 40th anniversary in Urano Grey and a 6 speed manual from a dealer 340 miles away in Daphine, AL. and got $25,000 trade in on a car I had paid $26,000 drive out and cash for 33 months and 14,000 miles earlier. The date was Sep. 23rd 2023. The trade was a 2021 Corolla hatchback XSE 6 speed manual. I did pay MSRP for the VW, but I got $3k more for the trade in than any of the websites said it was worth. Oh, and the $1000.00 worth of paint protection and dent removal was't even an issue. I just said I was not going to pay it and the sales lady just said okay. The VW had been on the lot for a while, possibly over 90 days. Daphne, Al. is a small market.

I looked for months and dealerships were selling them for 33k 34k for the base model. I got "lucky" and found one for 29k which was only 2 thousand over msrp.. its ridiculous what they push and put you thru to buy a car. Only reason I bought new was bc a used versions with 30k miles were selling for more then the new car..

If the FTC is anything like the SEC don't count on it... they are all in bed together IMHO.

In all states you only pay the difference between the cost of the vehicle you're buying and the trade in value - that's hw commodity taxes work. Even if you traded in a lawnmower, or a dining room set to the car dealership(wouldn't happen but just for reference), they have to remove the value of that trade-in from the value of the vehicle being purchased before charging the taxes on the net price.

Thank you so much for this video. I'm in the dreaded process of looking for a vehicle. I know exactly what I want. The dealership that has it is 150 miles away. I told them we would do everything by email including contracts. I have no intention of sitting down with the finance manager. I'm just going to do TTL and get the keys. I want msrp and Vin from the sticker and otd price before we move forward. I have looked at their reviews which are mixed depending on if they are dealing with someone that knows what they are doing or not. I told her this is going to be in the order I want it done. She asked about trade in and I said, "I have asked for the out the door price. You have not given that to me. That's the first step. Once I know that, I will make the next decision." She said they would email me the copy of the window sticker including Vin and msrp. We'll see. But I would not have been able to even be that sure before I watched this. So thank you.

The thing about online reviews (for anything) is the majority of people who write them are angry because they had a bad experience / transaction and they are immediately looking to strike out. Very few good reviews are descriptive, they are mostly "great product, good experience" - and that's it.

I generally configure the vehicle and then schedule a test drive. Once the drive is completed and I have configured the vehicle I want, negotiations take place online only. By the time I arrive at the dealership, the deal is done but for the signing. OTD pricing has been established/agreed to and it's a seamless process.

thank you for your content, 95% of what you mentioned i experienced twice recently when getting two leases at dealers. so do you really think that most dealers shouldnt change high markup in 2024? the markups were sooo high in 2023

Great stuff Micky! How does your approach work when leasing a new vehicle? For tax reasons, a lease is preferable to a purchase for one of my family cars. TY

The problem with internet reviews, is that often the company can do things to have negative reviews removed. You can't always trust those and leaving one won't always guarantee anyone will see it.

Another option. If you plan on paying cash, buy the vehicle with a financing plan so you can get the financing discount. Then once you have the vehicle just go pay off the loan. That way you get the discount and you don’t pay any interest.

Good idea. The manufacturer / finance company will require you to pay at least 3 to 6 mos before paying it off without a penalty. However, if the discount is large enough, you will save more with the discount than interest for 6 months.

@@georgetown8986 just read the contract MOST do NOT have a prepayment penalty and if it does simply strike it out, initial it or go to another dealer that does NOT have a prepayment penalty -

Exactly !!!! They think they are screwing you because of the interst they make off of you... but you don't pay interest if you pay it off right away... make sure you read the fine print some loans, even houses charge you a fee for early pay off.

Finally got some snow over there 😊

Our local Ford dealer has what they call “Maintenance for life” as a selling point. It does not appear on the contract but I found out that they charge as much as a thousand dollars for the service which includes nothing but oil change and filter. As Inonly put a few thousand miles on my vehicles it is way over the top of a charge. For that reason I do not even give them a chance by not going to them.

Good information
