    Rule # 1 NEVER go car shopping alone! Take someone with you! #2, Take a break to use the bathroom (even if you don't have to) to absorb and clear your head. #3 Step outside with the one who came with you to discuss or to get some fresh air. #4 If you start feeling over loaded with info, see rules 2 and 3. This is just a short list.....

      Negative son. #1 rule is: do your homework and know EXACTLY what vehicle you want and what the price of the vehicle is before you even think about going to a dealer. #2: never say you're paying cash and always talk about the OTD price of the vehicle and ignore anything to do with monthly payments, remember the SALESMAN takes care of the car and the FINANCE department takes care of the rest. Sales don't need to know how you'll pay.

      What helps me is keep looking until you are interested in different cars from different places. That gives me a legitimate alternative when I am not happy with the negotiation. That makes negotiating both less frustrating and easier to walk away from or call out things you dont appreciate or accept.

    A few takeaways from someone obsessed with watching your videos for the last 2-3 weeks:
    1. If she was ordering the car she shouldn't have filled out the credit application
    2. She never asked what rate she was approved for or what her base payment was. She also could have come in with her own bank approval
    3. She was helping Kimberly do her job for her by coming up with ways the extra products made sense. Kimberly didn't have to try hard with any objections bc there weren't many
    4. She never asked what the cost of any of those plans were
    5. She never tried to negotiate ANYTHING. Including add ons or MSRP
    6. She was asking the dealer what she should do? Don't ask them for financial advice bc they will give you an answer that benefits their agenda
    7. Ray and Kimberly really weren't even all that "sleazy" with the sales tactics. And for someone never in this environment before I bet it is a pretty typical experience. She didn't know she could negotiate. Since *when* can someone negotiate *anything* off a menu, which is something so familiar? Burger and fries $10.99, ok! No questions asked.

    In 2016, I accompanied my in-laws to a Hyundai dealership to purchase a new Tucson. I couldn't believe my father-in-law was way more interested in how much the dealer would pay for his trade-in than the price he'd pay the dealer for the new car. Argh!
    I made the salesman an offer at 15% off MSRP. When he returned after talking to the sales manager with a counter offer, I said, "No. This is the amount we are prepared to pay for the car. Period. If you don't agree to sell it to us for that amount, we're sorry to have wasted your time."
    After one more visit with the sales manager, the salesman returned with a lower counteroffer. I said, "No, and truth be told, my folks are getting kind-of hungry, so while you make that clear to your sales manager we're just gonna go down to Chik-fil-A to grab a bite."
    And with that, we got up and headed out the door. No sooner had I helped my in-laws into my car when the sales manager came running out to stop us from leaving: He said, "If you are serious about buying this car at this price, come back after lunch and I'll have the sales agreement drawn up for your in-laws to sign."
    As we drove off the lot, my father-in-law said, "I can't believe you did that."

    I love how he stated that they never charge more than MSRP. When I bought my latest car that was the first price they quoted. I told them that I could pay full price anywhere and did not need their dealership. Since I was ordering the vehicle it took all emotion out of the deal and we got down to hard numbers. I already had bank financing so it was to the dealer to beat everything I already had done. These videos helped me negotiate a good price on the vehicle and get the one I wanted.

    Years ago I was in the process of buying a Mustang. I took my Dad with me to make sure I didn't make any major mistakes. I found a car that I liked at a dealer in San Jose and we started "haggling" about the price. He had to "check" with his sales manager on every little thing. FInally, it came down to $50 difference. My Dad told me if he doesn't concede the $50 we're leaving. Well, we left. That same night we went to the Ford dealership in Los Gatos; walked in, made the deal at my price and I went home with a new car. Best part about the whole thing was the next day the original salesman from the SJ dealership called and said I could "have the car". My response was--sorry, you're too late, I bought my Mustang last night.
    Have learned a lot of watching your videos; am now in the process of trying to buy a new car after having my "old" one for 22 years and 200k miles on the odometer. Now, I'm taking my husband with me as moral support.

    So when I went to buy out my lease, this was about 3/4 years ago, I went into the finance office and as the manager did the paperwork I saw the price increase a little at a time. I told the guy, “hey why is the price going up when you’re not even adding anything to the paperwork nor are we negotiating price.” He looked at me all shocked and replied,” really? What was it at?” I told him the price and he did something to the calculations and brought it back down again. But it happened 2/3 times and I called him out on that. Is that a normal thing that happens to others or was this guy just super sleazy? And didn’t think I would notice?

  • @HiroiSekai
    @HiroiSekai ปีที่แล้ว +35

    Thanks massively for these raw, realistic portrayals of car buying procedures. The real conversation approach helps to show what to look out for as red flags and how to find something that you're actually happy with, not just the dealership.
    If I can make a really big feedback request with these videos: please pause and interject on exact points of these conversations and point out what is happening, why it is good/bad, and what to do in these situations. You get these really nice inklings of red flag moments in these videos when a rep says "let's get you to sign the paperwork for finance check here", but to someone who hasn't financed before, it would be really helpful if the video paused and you interjected a quick blurb on why doing this impulsively is a bad idea. Same thing for any other points in these videos, of which there are a ton.
    Either that, or a sector at the end when you just recap the interaction and pinpoint the specific parts that are crucial to talk about them. I do honestly think interjecting in the moment is more likely to leave a lasting memory, so that when a similar phrase gets uttered by a salesman at the actual lot, your brain can click on and pull up your point on what to watch out for. Either way, the raw scenarios are beyond fantastic and much better than just bullet point how-to scripts alone, but I think these videos can absolutely solidify a sense of comfort if we had those interjections.
    Thanks again!

    This was me before I started watching YAA! This is a perfect example of how you get talked into a purchase at any car dealership. It's just too easy to get swindled if you're not paying close attention.
    You spend so long at a dealership that you're exhausted and just want to get out of there with a new car and keys in hand before you leave. They know that and take advantage of it, especially if they see you're a first-time buyer. I love seeing these roles played out as it happens. This video will save consumers from making the same mistakes and provide them with more confidence. Thanks YAA!

Any why do they want to know if car will be in a garage?

    The more I watch them, though, the more I’m likely to just go directly with Tesla, order online, and never have to talk to anyone. I prefer limited options and just completely avoiding all this garbage.

    PLEASE READ THIS: Never buy a car when you desperately need one. I had an old golf that kept breaking. Went to Hyundai for their warranty. 5 hours later, exhausted, hungry and wanting to go home, I didn't pay too much attention to the terms. Later realized I overpaid by a lot, like 15g. Being emotional will get you really screwed. The finance managers will purposely add a bunch of stuff you didn't ask for, so take 5 minutes to review the itemized bill of sale before signing. Actually, take longer and make sure you approve every single item. Extended warranties, GAP, Appearance protection, accessories are over-priced and won't help add value when you trade in. You can get GAP from your insurance for about $20.These videos are an eye opener.

    Bought a car last month, did my own math before I went in. I knew putting down xx$ on a xxx$ car would leave me a $300-325 payment for 42-46 months.
    Course they played with all the numbers, tried to load in a bunch of crap extras and hide it by switching the loan from 48 to 72 months without saying anything. He just hoped I would sign after seeing $302 per month in big numbers. Paint protection, interior stain protection, road side assistance, extra warranty, etc.....Must have been about $5000 worth of useless junk, plus extending loan 2 years would have added on a bunch of interest.
    Told him no way, take it all off and do it for 48 months like I asked. Right away he said they could take $1000 off the warranty, so that just shows you how much profit they make off selling you this, they can cut $1000 off and still make money. This should all be illegal. After him wasting 30 minutes of our time playing with numbers trying to hide oversells we finally walked out with $292 for 48 months at 1.9%, just where I expected it to be.

    I have a big question that nobody seems to address. I know there's a magic wall between sales and finance that allow me to go back out to sales and tell them that finance is trying to screw me on something and can they adjust the price of the car to compensate, etc. When I finish the negotiations with finance, what obligation are they going to try and put me under to buy their loan? Can I just negotiate a 36 month loan, sign the paperwork, and pay cash at the front? If they tie discounts into the financing and there are no prepayment penalties, can I just make an initial payment for the entire vehicle without paying interest (when does interest start). I know these questions may be dependent upon what the negotiations are, but I don't feel like they have been adequately addressed in any videos online.

    • @TougeTourGuide
      @TougeTourGuide ปีที่แล้ว +1

      Most discounts and rebates are tied to financing with the manufacturer's own bank (GMAC, Toyota Financial, etc etc). Cash is NOT king anymore. What I usually do is recommended my customers finance and get the discount, then over the first few months pay if off early which greatly minimizes any interest paid.

    When they ask what payment I'm looking for I straight up tell them well it depends on how the rest of the numbers stack up. A 300 dollar payment sounds great but not at an 84 month term.
