You don't need a broker. You need to just say no and refuse and be polite and hold out... It takes a couple weeks sometimes, maybe a month to get the dealership to come around and always have plan 'b'. When you go into a dealer and get to talking price and they know they have a 'hot' buyer, if they have any business sense, they will not let you go to their competition or go to a plan 'b'. They will come around and you will get a good deal. Just be stalwart and everytime they call back, or email you, tell them you're looking at other cars because you just don't think you can afford their car. Anyway... Good luck.

Wow, I have trouble handling one car purchase. No way would I want to handle 15 to 20 a week. That would drive me over the edge.😁

Some used cars and dealers are underwater

People have been afraid of the dealers because they abused the prices and in the apps they still don't put the prices low but I went to the Honda dealership I needed a car for my wife and they wanted 35k for the cr v sport I negotiated I they left it to me in 33k more taxes I 500 of fees I already have to negotiate the prices are already lowering

Mazda and Subaru lost my business forever with their mandatory dealer markup on their vehicles. I bought a car in mid-2023 and they wouldn’t budge on the markup. By that time, they had plenty of the models I was shopping for, so their “supply chain” problems rang empty to me. I guess I’m a Toyota customer moving forward. Their loss.

Ill never buy another domestic for anything except my tow pig. If toyota made a HD truck id buy that

I thought the top trim of the Taco/Tundra was heavy duty?

@@Dreadnaught151 I think he is speaking of a 3/4 ton or 1 ton spec truck. Tacoma is mid-sized and tundra is 1/2 ton class.

This is great consent. I also recently used a car broker rather than going to the dealership myself. It was a great experience and completely stressless. The broker was able to negotiate a lease below invoice and because of the relationship they had with the dealerships, I was able to receive a tier one deal, although I was probably going to receive a tier 2 on my own.

ANY PRICE OVER MSRP IS NOT A GOOD DEAL...NO WAY, NO HOW

Good interview. Still wasn’t sure how he got paid. Hourly, percentage wise f savings, flat fee.

You say Mazda is very negotiable right now and that’s surprising. When I was selling them they had mat pricing, were strict as shit, and always had the least amount of discounts of the brands I sold. The struggle is real for automakers right now.

Notice how the Bridge getting knocked down by the Barge isnt in the news anymore. Just sayin

I wonder how long being a car broker will be a viable occupation? Supposing I find a car online and use an expert AI car buyer app as my negotiator?
