Having sold cars for a few years, one of the things I tell my friends and family is: When you go to a dealer to buy a car with a trade, give the salesman your EXTRA KEY. That way if you want to leave before you buy, you aren't stuck without your car or house keys. Dealers will "lose" your keys and keep you hostage until you buy. This happened to my sister, and she told the salesman, "That's fine, you have my address. Mail them to my house. Goodbye!" First time I ever saw a sales manager SPRINT after a customer.

If I have an issue with a shady/douchey tech, I'm not driving 500 miles to the next closest dealershit with a GT-R certified tech. For that same reason, I will never buy an exotic.

He would have likely accepted the trade-in, without being shady about it.

"We don't do these typical scummy car salesman tactics but we do try to sell a car without the customer knowing we crashed his trade in"

I have a similar story. I took my car in for service about 20 years ago. Long story short, they took it out to test the repair and never came back. They had to use the jaws of life to get the driver out. I saw the ambulance go down the street just like Ed mentioned and wondered where my car was. My car was totaled. Interesting talking to the insurance company. They wanted me to describe the accident - I told them I had no idea, I wasn’t there. The dealer loaned me a car to get home. I talked with them about buying a new car of course, but they knew I had to buy a car. I ended up going to a different dealer.

But was he a shrewd negotiator?

It's nice to hear about how car salesmen have screwed over customers in the past.

Until it all goes wrong. I’ve heard stories of people being “streeted,” only to have the deal later shot down by all of whichever bank(s) a dealer works with. It happens. Unscrupulously, it’s sometimes done intentionally! ‘Johnny Salesman’ then has to get the customer back in, and persuade them into new terms. Usually in the form of a *MUCH* bigger down payment, higher interest rate, monthly payment (and possibly even slip a few extra $$$ onto the sale price to boot). As I understand it - laws on this *DO* vary across US jurisdictions.... Though in many instances, should this happen, ‘Joe Customer’ can decline the new deal’s, less favorable terms - return the car and walk away. “Walking away” may not be so simple for single-car, and perhaps lower-income family customers though.... 1) They won’t be told this is an option, and maybe even lied to, if so inquiring. 2) They certainly *WON’T* be getting their trade car back - although they may be offered a buyback, for a tidy profit. Yeah.... 3) Any negative trade equity delta will need be satisfied, in cash. 4) Down payment might be held hostage, as additional financial leverage. Etcetera, etcetera; on-and-on.... Not to mention, walking off leaves a single-car customer in the position of summoning a ride home - and shopping for their next car, in a rental. Granted, I imagine a lot of the above tends not to happen with exotic car sales, and said customers. But the mechanics of car sales, regardless of make, is mostly the same in any given market.

I did say "experienced" finance guys. Not joe blow down the lot on the corner. Fly-by-night guys often pull what you stated above. They do it for various reasons, partly to get someone into a deal they know the person would not have agreed to up front (21% apr, etc). Those "very odd" situations apply as well, and more so when dealing with shady buyers or those with questionable backgrounds and credit risks. I was streeted before, based on a preliminary approval when I bought my first new car, because the bank had closed by the time we did the deal. I was making a $5000 down payment, but my daily credit limit on my bank account was $3000. So we had to wait until morning so I could get a cashier's check from the bank. They handed me the keys with instructions to come back the next day. I did, with check in hand, and there were zero problems.

just curious Ed have you ever contemplated starting a podcast? I am completely enamored with our knowledge and stories. I hope to lead a life like yours. lol

Interesting video. My issue is overall the absolute lack of Integrity of you hiding the fact that his car was damaged. I was wondering, does that dealership allow customers to test drive their cars alone? Of course not. I have purchased a number of new cars in the last few decades including a few higher end Accura's and Infinities and I have always been invited by the dealers to join them on their test drives of my trade in vehicles. I know, I know not a Mercedes or a Porsche. The bottom line is that you did a great job of closing the deal on that customer BUT, there was a lot of Deceiving him on this transaction.

Take this story as a warning that sales people will use your own ignorance and misinformation against you for their own benefit! All with a charismatic grin

I feel that maybe it shouldn't be as frequent and should be off to the side and smaller. So it'll be less of a distraction, and quite honestly most people don't want to pause the video every minute. I understand about being lost, but it seemed that a lot of information didn't have to be put up in text and is already known.

Everyone read this! Find Ed’s personal email and talk with him, I made a great friend in him a few years back, back when the channel was growing legs and he actually sent me a bunch of Vin Wiki stickers and I passed them out at a slammedEnuff event and I still hear about these videos around local car events till this day! Just don’t feel dumb if you don’t comprehend half the big words he uses.

I wish all car salesman are as honest and likeable as him

pretty shitty way to take someones car Ed. The guy clearly wouldn't have done it once his AMG came back.

I don't get how all these people are say YAY for the deal. They basically messed over the customer by taking away his leverage. I see it as slimy as heck. U crash my car sell me a car I'm not really sold on then you take away my leverage to get a much better deal because you crashed my car. How is this a good deal for the customer...??

Well, I'd say the caveat is that the customer doesn't have to deal with a totaled, nearly-out-of-warranty AMG, and instead has a shiny new GTR. Ed may have gotten a little more money out of the guy, and been a little shady in doing so, but that little bit of money doesn't cover the absolute loss of that AMG. So, even though he was lied to, the customer came out a bit ahead in this deal.

Yeah all those people “yeah, it’s just business” would react a lot different if the AMG was their business. Hate that it wasn’t me that got effed over so eff it mentality.

Why wouldn't he? How do you know he wouldn't? His Mercedes Benz was scrap metal at the time. The Manager ofc didn't do this on purpose and there is nothing wrong with testdriving the car.

I really enjoy your channel. You are a masterful and eloquent story teller. Clearly someone I would enjoy drinking some beers with. Nothing like learning something AND drinking a beer with cool peoples

Great story. An administrative law judge took his new Toyota into a local dealership for the initial 500 mile servicing. The mechanic crashed the car and he wasn't told. Much later, the dealership comes in and tells him that he brought in a damaged car. After the judge (who had the nicest tattoos on his arms ) finished threatening to drive the car through the showroom window, they mollified him.

You tend not to notice the gradual upscaling of quality overtime. However, I've just come from videos posted by Vinwiki in mid 2020 to this video now, and the audio quality is drastically superior in the mare recent videos. Good on Vinwiki for upgrading their recording equipment. I'm convinced that they could have left it alone, and I certainly would have been none the wiser.

Well seems like having an adrenaline rush, tension in the room you can actually touch and a Oceans 11 kind of scenario is also obtainable in a dealership, if Mr. Ed Bolian is there.

everytime I see the new video I hope its ed bolian

6:13 WTF! This guy is a crook! "Do we need to park it where he won't see the damage"

And this is how a salesperson deals with ripping a customer off and smiling to your face about it.

I love this channel! Ed Bolian is such a gifted story teller! I could listen to this guy talk all day!

He needs his own car dealership.

Until their AMG's keep crashing ...

How was this not one of the first stories you gave us? Keep them coming!

In early morning on a Saturday i saw a sales guy pull the whole "we cant find your keys thing" on my Dad once". Forgetting my Dad still had the keys to the car they just drove, "well I guess I'll go grocery shopping and do the weekend trips in this car while you guys figure that out." Sales guy's eyes get real big, "uh sir we are going to need..." "you get em back when you find my car keys. Consider it an extended test drive." Also watching these vinwiki stories has made me much more paranoid about buying cars. Neat.

Another Ed story ! this is gonna be good

Hey Ed if you’re reading this I want to just let you know something. I have been subbed since 4K subs and have showed all the car enthusiasts I know your Channel and they also obsessed. But the point is that I do sales and watching you had most definitely made me better salesman. Just studying the way you speak and how you are very personable. I actually mimic your tone and it had been working amazing for me the past 6 months. I just want to thank you for the amazing story’s and being a very influential role model to me. God bless you and your family! And thank you for unintentionally making me richer!

I sold car for almost 20 years and never worked at a place that had as many car crashes as this one. 😂🤣

so did he ever find out you crashed his car?

@EdBolian

Yes. Absolutely. We told him everything as he signed the paperwork and he was fine. He wasn't worried about the car, just wanted to make sure everyone involved was ok. We had a great relationship with this customer. The idea of the car being destroyed would have emotionally complicated the deal too much so it made sense to let him make the decision in that vacuum.

Ed Bolian emotionally complicated the deal? Made sense to let him make the decision in that vacuum? I think that's what you tell yourself. Cause emotionally complicated. Means if he would have known. He would have had ya by the balls on that trade value. Let him make the decision in that vacuum means. Let's let him decide without being aware of all the facts so we don't potentially loose a dollar. But hey man, whatever you gotta tell yourself so you can sleep at night.

Wrong. You sold it to him without first clarifying the situation b/c you knew he would have taken away even more of your profit. You flatly said so in the video. Man, I hope you're better than this.

As soon as I see it's Ed sitting there I thumbs up the video!!

The porter trying to get the golf bags "GET THE BOLT CUTTERS!"

Ed has one of those voices you could listen to all day.

Another day, another Ed story life cant get better than this

How much different this would have gone if the guy had found out about it or decided he didn't want the GTR...

Difficult to predict. If he had decided to back out of the deal, we would have had to get him made whole on his C63 and we probably would have been out looking for another GT-R a few weeks later. If he had wanted to keep the deal together, we were probably sufficiently motivated for the claim to be against a car that we owned that we would have probably given him a little more on the trade.

SuperiorRedneck Then the dealership scene from "national lampoon vacation" comes true

This shows no matter what car you buy, there's Sleazy Salesmen Sure to follow.

No truer word ever spoken, but to expand on it. High end cars out of warranty can put a major hole in your wallet!!
