So, while you may pay more in finance charges, you're not paying more for the actual car.
Me and my wife were looking at a used Ford Escape at a DRCJ dealer in Houston. After the test drive, we were waiting for the salesman to tell us the finance deal. He showed me a contract and said that he would tell us the price after we signed the contract. I told him I wouldn't sign it until he gave me a price. We went back and forth, but he wouldn't give in. So I asked for my CDL back and he refused. I was ready to turn his desk upside-down, but my wife started threatening him by calling the police. He gave me my CDL and we left
Had it happen twice to me at a dealership (with keys not license). My response in both cases was: You have 30 seconds to give me back my property or I’m calling cops… as I start a timer on my phone. In one of those situations in the end we end up negotiating a very good deal on my fiancés Gladiator.
Stop threatening to get the police involved. Just do it. If they then continue these practices, it will be on record. They don't want that because it becomes a public record. They have already proven that they don't care about you as a customer, so why should you care about them.
Zach, I appreciate how locked in you are. Blessings. Thank your for the great content with your dad! It’s really helpful for me as I’m researching and waiting for the right time to look into a newer Nissan Frontier Pro-4x. Peace!
Yup am car shopping and all dealers sent me an otd price including 8-13k of add ons. And they all sound like Andy Elliot selling me a car. Anybody saying come on in so you can see it, smell it, sit in it is a red flag 🚩.
Hey I don't object to the market adjustment cuz there are market forces that apply to every situation, but don't try to gas light me concerning actual market conditions.
In the early eighties, Honda had added a market adjustment to one of their civic station wagons that I was looking at getting. I walked out of the dealership and I've never looked at a Honda sinse.
most items we buy everyday have maket adjustments. everything from groceries to home goods are different prices in different markets. its why when you shop online it often markes you put a zip in
@DeltaLimaActual Wrong. Anti-competitive regulations apply to all businesses. Companies cannot collude to fix raise prices and control markets. It's NOT a free or fair market when the sellers cook the books and artificially set prices.
@@KevinOlson-io3dm Thank you. Dealers can ask whatever they want---it's called a free market. You , as the buyer, are free to laugh in their face and walk away.
I've used the same salesman for 20 yrs (he's now the manager at the dealer). I've never paid sticker price. In fact a lot less. He gives me his personal employee price (3% over wholesale and he shows me the dealer price invoice +3%). Now that i live in a different state, we do it all over the phone. He finds me the car i want locally, does the Auto Co financing, i send him the money, he sends me the bill of sale and i go to the dealer and get the car. For some reason, the dealer that has the car, gets really irritated when they have to do the title work... FREE. 😂
There is a built in spread on the dealer invoice. You are getting a deal, just not what you think. I work finance at a very popular foreign new car dealership.
I appreciate your phrasing because if I want a specific car, I can’t just walk away. Then I’ve lost my power. Power phrases are so naturally foreign and the most helpful and humorous.
@@RomelobladeFree market wins out. Dealerships all over are failing hard because of their dishonest practices. Just buy a used car, you'll have so much of a better financial health and the dealership will lose your commission
@@Romeloblade If you're too stupid that you willingly go to a dealership to "buy" the biggest depreciating asset in your life, and get a loan for money you don't have, to impress people you don't know, because you feel like you deserve it, and end up paying many many thousands extra, then you should be screwed by the dealership because of your stupidity.
Greico Mazda, Delray Beach, FL tried to jack the price up on me from their website with a used car. 11k on the website, magically turned to 16k when I got there. Flipped the bird and walked out.
The problem is that there are people out there who are okay with being jacked like that. They keep paying the bogus add-ons, so the dealers keep doing this. If everyone would just STOP just taking it, things might improve.
The key is to NEVER go to buy a vehicle when you desperately need one, unless of course you've been in an accident or whatever. But if everybody else just cruising around and deciding to trade vehicles would use their brain instead of their emotions to negotiate, they'd all be better off.
I'd love to know the history of how that miracle came to be, and how Canada's dealers didn't buy their way out of that pickle with bribes, blackmail, extortion, and such. Oh, sorry, I was talking about Canada and thinking about the US. I'm seriously glad for you folks, though.
@@susanjannarone135 -- like every where there are good and bad people. Shouldn’t lump them all together. My son is a landlord and takes care of his property and tenants.
Seen lots of used car dealers charge up to $2000 extra for cash buy. Ridiculous! Then try to add up to $1000 for certification. They have lost their minds!
I'm not offended at all by this call. Obviously the first employee really didn't know much, but that second one handled things wonderfully. He gave the information that you asked for. He was knowledgeable and even offered you different options and told you about another vehicle that's more expensive that you can get cheaper because of the lease incentives. I would buy from these people if I was in the market
He also forgot to mention that form 4506-T needs to be filled out, retirement account savings and any gift letters. Oh wait, you're financing a vehicle, not a house.........
You guys have saved me so much money through your website and videos with my last couple car purchases. The confidence and knowledge I have gained with car buying has made car buying an actual PLEASURABLE experience again. I think the last dealer I worked with was actual afraid of me. 😂
CarEdge needs an investigatory department with undercover shoppers, covert cameras, microphones, etc. Dealerships that treat customers honorably should be lauded. Those who act deceptively, or with usurious fees, should be exposed.
I would never provide bank statements to purchase a car. I understand a couple paystub’s to prove that I have a job and income bank statements are way too much
Of course no one gets my bank statements. I hesitate to give him salary/ employer information. Maybe if I’m arranging financing, I could tell them, not the dealer.
What a phenomenal video. Would love more of this! A lot of good videos have been popping up in my feed with the research I've been doing, but none hit quite like CarEdge. Keep up the great work 👏💯
I have to agree with other commenter's sentiments....this type of live interaction with dealers is very useful. Consider making more of these type of videos.
Love your videos. My friends daughter was going to buy her first car and I had her watch some of your videos on buying a car. She finally found a dealer who wanted to work with her. She actually got a step up from what she was actually looking for.
In Australia, we have never heard of a Market Adjustment? It's MSRP set by the manufacturer, that's it! NO room to move usually except maybe a small amount off the Dealer Fee (~ $AU1500). Manufactures like Toyota set the MSRP in stone for all dealers so they do not compete against each other, same price everywhere. On New Cars here, there is not much room to move anymore. Only other fees are a Finance set up fee if you take a loan and of course the rate changes based on your credit score. Usually we don't even advertise MSRP, it's just the "Drive Away Price" where all Registration, Dealer fees and Govt taxes are all included. The haggling comes if you have a trade-in. No one takes your keys for a test drive - here we sign a form or use an App after they take a picture of your licence.
New Car Sales 101: If you're a First Responder, Active Military, Disabled Veteran, Loyal Customer, and have a perfect Credit Score, the vehicle is basically free. If not, it's $84'000 base price with an additional $2'995 markup, $2'000 for Window tint, $499 for Nitrogen, $999 doc fee, and $2'000 destination charge.
yeah.... i tend to avoid talking to people at dealerships. im better now but i used to be really weak minded. I once went in for an oil change and came out with a new car🤣🤣. The car was lovely but there was no real deal on the transaction.
He was obviously new, market adjustments are solely based on the amount of cars with that exact trim, and package. The credit can change the value of your payment based on APR. Not the actual price of the car
Janesville Kia of Wisconsin had a sales manager give me an OTD price by email of 13500 for a vehicle they had. I get into the dealership and they approach me with a different sales manager who started negotiating the OTD price at 16800. I brought up the email they sent me for 13500 and the sales manager gets mad, tells me there's no way he could do that OTD price, and rips up the paperwork. We walked out of there. The same vehicles been there for two weeks and they still haven't sold the vehicle. Such silly shenanigans.
This was a really good vid. Really enjoyed the various angles they tried… and your responses keeping them on task. Great final thought from that guy on the Genesis… do more of these please…
LEASING SUCKS!!! I just figured out that the special lease deal on a Mazda CX30 was about $12k to "buy" about $8500 in value based on the MSRP, the residual value, the down payment, and the total of the 36 payments. That worked out to an outrageous interest rate like 15%. Remember Leasing is NOT extended rental. You essentially buying the 3 year depreciation.
My car buying experience. My experiences have been good. When I go to a dealership, I go prepared and have done my research. I buy new. If I were to buy used, I would use my mechanic. Research the incentives, the extras, know the general price range, take a pen and pad of paper, and deal directly with the sales manager. Yes, I have used a car buying service as well. In the old days, people would trudge from dealership to dealership and have a horrible experience. Things are different today. Last year, my son, living in Delaware, bought a car located in Florida. When, I had configured a car that I wanted, armed with the information about incentives, and the sales manager knowing that I was qualified and was competing against 5 dealerships had no hesitation in giving his best price.
I LOVE that Ray put the heart of the subject right up front so that you know where this is heading. This is the opposite of clickbait - this is how to put together a good video. No time wasted, just useful content. I wish everyone would do this instead of posting a compelling title and then never having any payoff (or putting a lame payoff at the end of a long video). 👍🏼 🏆
as soon as the salesperson says 'i gotta ask my manager' or words to that effect - leave! also, be willing to walk out the door, at any time. remember, they need you, you don't need them. and never, ever fall in love with a car.
They didn’t say anything wrong…. If you are leasing, then the payment is affected by the credit score. And the salesperson is new. The manager was very professional and knowledgeable
I hate, hate, hate dealing with dealerships. I even worked for one briefly. My advice is to decide on a price before you go to the dealership. If they won't agree to your price, simply leave. They'll stop you before you leave the dealership. A sales manager that gets involved at that point. It's a silly game and a lot of dealerships play it.
Imagine your doctor doing this? Well, there’s bandage fees or we can just give you a bucket to catch the excess blood. “How are you with dealing with pain? I can knock off a few bucks if you skip the morphine & we give you a couple Tylenol “
@@escapedfromnewyork Have you ever seen an itemized Hospital Bill in the US because that's exactly what they do and why private health insurance is so high, which many people don't even have.
I work for a dealership and I wanna say that the intro may seem sketchy but dealers use what is called a standard desk rate. It is to give the consumer and estimate of what they are looking at payment wise. Also your credit score doesn't determine the price of the car, it determines the interest rate of the vehicle which is what can cause it to be high. The better your credit, then the lower you APR rate is.
At Hendrick Toyota in Charlotte/Concord NC, they have all these add ins and they say you have to buy them. One of them is Gap Insurance, and they actually say you cannot buy a vehicle without purchasing all the add ins: extended warranty, service agreement, Gap Insurance, etc. they say you cannot buy Gap insurance from your own insurance company. It has to be purchased as part of Toyota’s plan they add to all cars! Ridiculous!
I’m confused: if I walk in the door with my own pre approved bank loan, why would I need to go through all of this pricing and payment discussion? The problem is 80% of car sales are dealer financed, which is a major problem.
That's why no dealer should ever have a problem giving you an immediate out the door cash price. But they WILL have a problem because that gives them no chance for all of their phony add-ons.
Dude I thought so too. First guy was new but was aware that credit affects financing which affects OTD but he just didn’t word it right. Second guy was great, tried to hold him on the phone longer than I would’ve liked but explained everything and shot Zach straight
@@jmanf223100% agree. I think that people are mentally trained to recognize sleazy salesman so they can’t differentiate from the good ones. The second guy was straight to the point but wasn’t afraid do ask for the business.
I hate buying a car, but I’m older and have no problem walking out if they try to play games. I refuse to pay doc fees and any of those other silly fees, if you stand your ground they will eat all of that. I go in with my financing already but never tell them that till we agree on a deal.
I watched the video twice and I am trying to learn how to buy a car from your videos. Which specific thing did the dealership say that I should run from? 🙏
Back in the early 90s i went to a Ford dealership to look at a Taurus...the salesman opened the hood on the car and said to me.."look..this car even comes with a battery"..i walked away immediately..went down the street to Buick and biught a car.
@eskieman3948 even if you're paying cash, your score makes any difference? Why would you even need a credit ap or to pull my bureau at all if I'm writing a check?
THATS EXACTLY RIGHT !!! WOW as a former new version salesperson that's BS. never give any dealership your bank statement !! If the salesperson asks for it, you need to not deal with them !! As a former new vehicle salesperson I know that the only thing the financial department needs is your social security number !! They can check your credit worthness with it. They are betting that you don't know any better.
It's never made clear what statements are the red flag that the title of the video refers to. You're probably right but I wish they would have discussed it further. Also, if you are not financing do you still need to give them your SSN?
Yeah a dealer in Florida tried to up charge me 5000 for a car. Lied to me about how I HAVE to pay them to do the title and taxes. The dealership had a "what you see is what you pay" and "no haggle pricing". I guess that doesn't apply to me only them. After talking to 3 people at the dealership, I decided to walk away for the "deal" they had.
The price shouldn't change, but the APR can, what you end paying for the car after 5 year it's different to some one with 5%apr to another who ends getting it with 22% apr, and yes, 22 and 30% apr is normal for BHPH.
I have bought several cars from a used car dealer in my town. Not sure if it's still the same because of inflation, but for years he told me that anything I liked he would sell me for $500 more than what he paid for it.
Probably has more to do with the fact that the dealerships make money selling you financing. Your credit worthiness likely affect how much they make on the financing which in turn affects how much they might be willing to discount the price of the car.
That’s why I like Carmax no negotiations!! No add ons. You can find cars from 100 miles on them. Some of the cars have great deals on them if you look.
The ONLY thing that should have cause the price to go up is after all the taxes are added on plus adding an extended warranty will cause it to add up. The price that's on the window sticker is just the Manufacturers Sujested price and it is a starting price for selling the vehicle to a client. Buying a car in America is not complicated if you understand the ins and outs of it. The things to watch out for.

So I asked for my CDL back and he refused. I was ready to turn his desk upside-down, but my wife started threatening him by calling the police. He gave me my CDL and we left
The power of a woman 🎉😊
Makes me super angry when they do that. Ford dealers are amongst the worst. And they have huge dealer markups
Had it happen twice to me at a dealership (with keys not license). My response in both cases was:
You have 30 seconds to give me back my property or I’m calling cops… as I start a timer on my phone.
In one of those situations in the end we end up negotiating a very good deal on my fiancés Gladiator.
Stop threatening to get the police involved. Just do it. If they then continue these practices, it will be on record. They don't want that because it becomes a public record. They have already proven that they don't care about you as a customer, so why should you care about them.
@@mwaynem The police have proven that they don't care either
I love how nice Zach is with the salespeople. It gives encouragement to those of us that are pathologically nice that we can hold our own and do this.
Zach, I appreciate how locked in you are. Blessings. Thank your for the great content with your dad! It’s really helpful for me as I’m researching and waiting for the right time to look into a newer Nissan Frontier Pro-4x. Peace!
Total B.S When I bought my dealer, they never asked me for any of this. I would avoid this dealership like the plague
Yup am car shopping and all dealers sent me an otd price including 8-13k of add ons. And they all sound like Andy Elliot selling me a car. Anybody saying come on in so you can see it, smell it, sit in it is a red flag 🚩.
How much did buying the dealer cost? 😂
The minute they say market adjustment is the second you walk away.
What if everyone says that and you need a car?
Yeah, that's code for, "We're adding this just because we can."
Hey I don't object to the market adjustment cuz there are market forces that apply to every situation, but don't try to gas light me concerning actual market conditions.
In the early eighties, Honda had added a market adjustment to one of their civic station wagons that I was looking at getting. I walked out of the dealership and I've never looked at a Honda sinse.
most items we buy everyday have maket adjustments. everything from groceries to home goods are different prices in different markets. its why when you shop online it often markes you put a zip in
"Market Adjustment" adders should be illegal. It's a form of price fixing & racketeering.
It's just done to keep people confused... Just negotiate out the door.
Wrong - it's not illegal and if you don't like it, just leave.
@DeltaLimaActual Wrong. Anti-competitive regulations apply to all businesses. Companies cannot collude to fix raise prices and control markets. It's NOT a free or fair market when the sellers cook the books and artificially set prices.
@@KevinOlson-io3dmshould be he said. Learn how to read
@@KevinOlson-io3dm Thank you. Dealers can ask whatever they want---it's called a free market. You , as the buyer, are free to laugh in their face and walk away.
why is it so hard to get a OTD price? it took you 10 minutes.
It’s a video.. let it play out with the info we can all benefit from.
They want you stuck at the dealership that's why. I'm sure they get tons of phone calls and nobody actually showing up.
@@XX-166 What? How does his comment stop people from watching the video.
Yeah I talked with three dealers and not one of them would give me an OTD price
@@marilynallen644 increase your search radius about 500 miles
I've used the same salesman for 20 yrs (he's now the manager at the dealer).
I've never paid sticker price. In fact a lot less. He gives me his personal employee price (3% over wholesale and he shows me the dealer price invoice +3%).
Now that i live in a different state, we do it all over the phone. He finds me the car i want locally, does the Auto Co financing, i send him the money, he sends me the bill of sale and i go to the dealer and get the car.
For some reason, the dealer that has the car, gets really irritated when they have to do the title work... FREE. 😂
It's always beneficial when you have an insider connection.
There is a built in spread on the dealer invoice. You are getting a deal, just not what you think. I work finance at a very popular foreign new car dealership.
Can you share his info? : )
That's because he gets a chub when he see's you
I would not have a Hyundai or kia. I also would never lease. Like renting a car.
I appreciate your phrasing because if I want a specific car, I can’t just walk away. Then I’ve lost my power. Power phrases are so naturally foreign and the most helpful and humorous.
This is why FTC rules need to make it through the courts and be held

@@Romeloblade If you're too stupid that you willingly go to a dealership to "buy" the biggest depreciating asset in your life, and get a loan for money you don't have, to impress people you don't know, because you feel like you deserve it, and end up paying many many thousands extra, then you should be screwed by the dealership because of your stupidity.
Greico Mazda, Delray Beach, FL tried to jack the price up on me from their website with a used car. 11k on the website, magically turned to 16k when I got there. Flipped the bird and walked out.
Going through the same thing at Arrigo CDJR. Cars listed at 21750 and they tried to get me at 27,500 out the door. Walked out twice
Dealers are scum
The problem is that there are people out there who are okay with being jacked like that. They keep paying the bogus add-ons, so the dealers keep doing this. If everyone would just STOP just taking it, things might improve.
People should name and shame these dealers that try to screw people!!!
All of Florida is crooked and now we have hatred of whites. Criminal landlords from Canada.
Anytime the salesmen or anyone else at the dealer ship says something you do not like, walk. Show them who is in charge.
The key is to NEVER go to buy a vehicle when you desperately need one, unless of course you've been in an accident or whatever. But if everybody else just cruising around and deciding to trade vehicles would use their brain instead of their emotions to negotiate, they'd all be better off.
@@k.b.tidwellshhh don’t say it too loud
In Canada it’s illegal to charge more than the advertised price.
It should be here in the USA also. Unfortunately our politicians no longer work for the people, so shit like this perpetuates.
I'd love to know the history of how that miracle came to be, and how Canada's dealers didn't buy their way out of that pickle with bribes, blackmail, extortion, and such.
Oh, sorry, I was talking about Canada and thinking about the US. I'm seriously glad for you folks, though.
Canadian landlords ought to be kicked out of this country. Mine leased me a moldy house. Both my son and I have mold mycotoxins. Was wheelchair.
@@susanjannarone135 -- like every where there are good and bad people. Shouldn’t lump them all together. My son is a landlord and takes care of his property and tenants.
Seen lots of used car dealers charge up to $2000 extra for cash buy. Ridiculous! Then try to add up to $1000 for certification. They have lost their minds!
I'm not offended at all by this call. Obviously the first employee really didn't know much, but that second one handled things wonderfully. He gave the information that you asked for. He was knowledgeable and even offered you different options and told you about another vehicle that's more expensive that you can get cheaper because of the lease incentives. I would buy from these people if I was in the market
He also forgot to mention that form 4506-T needs to be filled out, retirement account savings and any gift letters. Oh wait, you're financing a vehicle, not a house.........
Don't forget about the DNA sample
Yeah that’s why I got a higher rate, balkans get charged an extra percentage point lol
They cost more than my house.
You guys have saved me so much money through your website and videos with my last couple car purchases. The confidence and knowledge I have gained with car buying has made car buying an actual PLEASURABLE experience again. I think the last dealer I worked with was actual afraid of me. 😂
Love this video. Would be great to have a debrief at the end to recap.
Had to downvote this video. Should have had a recap.
This was awesome! You guys need to do more of these. So good
Holy moly, this is why I have zero regrets buying a Tesla. Click, click and pick up. No shenanigans, no hassles.
CarEdge needs an investigatory department with undercover shoppers, covert cameras, microphones, etc. Dealerships that treat customers honorably should be lauded. Those who act deceptively, or with usurious fees, should be exposed.
WoW actually got an honest price right away
until the OTD is in writing, it does not mean much...
I would never provide bank statements to purchase a car.
I understand a couple paystub’s to prove that I have a job and income bank statements are way too much
Of course no one gets my bank statements. I hesitate to give him salary/ employer information. Maybe if I’m arranging financing, I could tell them, not the dealer.
I love the large poster in the background, the old rusted truck put out to pasture. Lovely symbolism. 😃
Credit and bank won't affect price. But will affect interest rate for loan thus influencing payment.
What a phenomenal video. Would love more of this! A lot of good videos have been popping up in my feed with the research I've been doing, but none hit quite like CarEdge. Keep up the great work 👏💯
I have to agree with other commenter's sentiments....this type of live interaction with dealers is very useful. Consider making more of these type of videos.
Love your videos. My friends daughter was going to buy her first car and I had her watch some of your videos on buying a car. She finally found a dealer who wanted to work with her. She actually got a step up from what she was actually looking for.
In Australia, we have never heard of a Market Adjustment? It's MSRP set by the manufacturer, that's it! NO room to move usually except maybe a small amount off the Dealer Fee (~ $AU1500). Manufactures like Toyota set the MSRP in stone for all dealers so they do not compete against each other, same price everywhere.
On New Cars here, there is not much room to move anymore. Only other fees are a Finance set up fee if you take a loan and of course the rate changes based on your credit score. Usually we don't even advertise MSRP, it's just the "Drive Away Price" where all Registration, Dealer fees and Govt taxes are all included. The haggling comes if you have a trade-in. No one takes your keys for a test drive - here we sign a form or use an App after they take a picture of your licence.
Excellent video. Actually surprised at the reaction - I thought the dealer was pretty good and straightforward. Got an OTD price pretty quickly.
New Car Sales 101:
If you're a First Responder, Active Military, Disabled Veteran, Loyal Customer, and have a perfect Credit Score, the vehicle is basically free.
If not, it's $84'000 base price with an additional $2'995 markup, $2'000 for Window tint, $499 for Nitrogen, $999 doc fee, and $2'000 destination charge.
Wow $500 off a 52k vehicle.....what is that $5 dollars off a month.
7500 off. plus 500 off. that's without even financing offers which they do, if he went that route. it wasn't bad.

yeah.... i tend to avoid talking to people at dealerships. im better now but i used to be really weak minded. I once went in for an oil change and came out with a new car🤣🤣. The car was lovely but there was no real deal on the transaction.
He was obviously new, market adjustments are solely based on the amount of cars with that exact trim, and package. The credit can change the value of your payment based on APR. Not the actual price of the car
Janesville Kia of Wisconsin had a sales manager give me an OTD price by email of 13500 for a vehicle they had. I get into the dealership and they approach me with a different sales manager who started negotiating the OTD price at 16800. I brought up the email they sent me for 13500 and the sales manager gets mad, tells me there's no way he could do that OTD price, and rips up the paperwork. We walked out of there. The same vehicles been there for two weeks and they still haven't sold the vehicle. Such silly shenanigans.
This was a really good vid. Really enjoyed the various angles they tried… and your responses keeping them on task. Great final thought from that guy on the Genesis… do more of these please…
Brand new to the channel, but already hooked. Well done, Gentlemen 👍
LEASING SUCKS!!! I just figured out that the special lease deal on a Mazda CX30 was about $12k to "buy" about $8500 in value based on the MSRP, the residual value, the down payment, and the total of the 36 payments. That worked out to an outrageous interest rate like 15%.
Remember Leasing is NOT extended rental. You essentially buying the 3 year depreciation.
My car buying experience. My experiences have been good. When I go to a dealership, I go prepared and have done my research. I buy new. If I were to buy used, I would use my mechanic. Research the incentives, the extras, know the general price range, take a pen and pad of paper, and deal directly with the sales manager.
Yes, I have used a car buying service as well. In the old days, people would trudge from dealership to dealership and have a horrible experience. Things are different today. Last year, my son, living in Delaware, bought a car located in Florida.
When, I had configured a car that I wanted, armed with the information about incentives, and the sales manager knowing that I was qualified and was competing against 5 dealerships had no hesitation in giving his best price.
I LOVE that Ray put the heart of the subject right up front so that you know where this is heading. This is the opposite of clickbait - this is how to put together a good video. No time wasted, just useful content. I wish everyone would do this instead of posting a compelling title and then never having any payoff (or putting a lame payoff at the end of a long video). 👍🏼 🏆
as soon as the salesperson says 'i gotta ask my manager' or words to that effect - leave!
also, be willing to walk out the door, at any time. remember, they need you, you don't need them. and never, ever fall in love with a car.
He was excellent and gave you are great deal. Personally I’ve had no issues buying new cars, not always so great buying used.
They didn’t say anything wrong…. If you are leasing, then the payment is affected by the credit score. And the salesperson is new. The manager was very professional and knowledgeable
I hate, hate, hate dealing with dealerships. I even worked for one briefly. My advice is to decide on a price before you go to the dealership. If they won't agree to your price, simply leave. They'll stop you before you leave the dealership. A sales manager that gets involved at that point. It's a silly game and a lot of dealerships play it.
This. 100%
This exactly
Imagine your doctor doing this? Well, there’s bandage fees or we can just give you a bucket to catch the excess blood. “How are you with dealing with pain? I can knock off a few bucks if you skip the morphine & we give you a couple Tylenol “
@@escapedfromnewyork good example
@@escapedfromnewyork Have you ever seen an itemized Hospital Bill in the US because that's exactly what they do and why private health insurance is so high, which many people don't even have.
I work for a dealership and I wanna say that the intro may seem sketchy but dealers use what is called a standard desk rate. It is to give the consumer and estimate of what they are looking at payment wise. Also your credit score doesn't determine the price of the car, it determines the interest rate of the vehicle which is what can cause it to be high. The better your credit, then the lower you APR rate is.
You have to have strong convictions and be persistent and even start to walk out if they continue.
At Hendrick Toyota in Charlotte/Concord NC, they have all these add ins and they say you have to buy them. One of them is Gap Insurance, and they actually say you cannot buy a vehicle without purchasing all the add ins: extended warranty, service agreement, Gap Insurance, etc. they say you cannot buy Gap insurance from your own insurance company. It has to be purchased as part of Toyota’s plan they add to all cars! Ridiculous!
LOVE this real time call video. Super helpful.
I’m confused: if I walk in the door with my own pre approved bank loan, why would I need to go through all of this pricing and payment discussion? The problem is 80% of car sales are dealer financed, which is a major problem.
That's why no dealer should ever have a problem giving you an immediate out the door cash price. But they WILL have a problem because that gives them no chance for all of their phony add-ons.
We use Wells Fargo, a big bank, and they no longer even do auto loans for customers. And no home equity loans either
Did my last two car deals almost exclusively via email and text, it was great
This is why I have not bought a car from a dealership in eight years. Never again!
This is very advantageous especially for Ladies who doesn’t have any idea about buying lots of dealers are dishonest, thank sooo much

I hate buying a car, but I’m older and have no problem walking out if they try to play games. I refuse to pay doc fees and any of those other silly fees, if you stand your ground they will eat all of that. I go in with my financing already but never tell them that till we agree on a deal.
I watched the video twice and I am trying to learn how to buy a car from your videos. Which specific thing did the dealership say that I should run from? 🙏
I bought a car financed then paid it off early. I was never asked to provide any kind of bank statement or anything of the sort
That was great to hear, but would love to have heard what the outcome was!!!!
He is talking about the car payment. not the OUT THE DOOR Price.
And remember, the financing monthly payment does NOT include sales tax, so add another whatever .
Back in the early 90s i went to a Ford dealership to look at a Taurus...the salesman opened the hood on the car and said to me.."look..this car even comes with a battery"..i walked away immediately..went down the street to Buick and biught a car.
3:27 so if I have a 300 score, but I'm paying cash, my price will be different than someone who has a 850 score?
It can be.
@eskieman3948 even if you're paying cash, your score makes any difference? Why would you even need a credit ap or to pull my bureau at all if I'm writing a check?
I have an 849. My score will never be 850. This makes me sad.
THATS EXACTLY RIGHT !!! WOW as a former new version salesperson that's BS. never give any dealership your bank statement !! If the salesperson asks for it, you need to not deal with them !! As a former new vehicle salesperson I know that the only thing the financial department needs is your social security number !! They can check your credit worthness with it. They are betting that you don't know any better.
It's never made clear what statements are the red flag that the title of the video refers to. You're probably right but I wish they would have discussed it further. Also, if you are not financing do you still need to give them your SSN?
Why does the price even matter on an ev? All you need to know about Hyundai will be 60% depreciated when it leaves the lot.

Yeah a dealer in Florida tried to up charge me 5000 for a car. Lied to me about how I HAVE to pay them to do the title and taxes. The dealership had a "what you see is what you pay" and "no haggle pricing". I guess that doesn't apply to me only them. After talking to 3 people at the dealership, I decided to walk away for the "deal" they had.
That was a pretty decent interaction. 🤔 Much better than what I've experienced in the past.
He brought up a different car so that he could get you in the door for a test drive. 😂
The price shouldn't change, but the APR can, what you end paying for the car after 5 year it's different to some one with 5%apr to another who ends getting it with 22% apr, and yes, 22 and 30% apr is normal for BHPH.
So the base case is you get scammed. In order to not get scammed you have to go through a bunch of mental gymnastics. God Damn.
Second guy was nice and straightforward.
A market adjustment on an Ioniq 5? They're hardly selling. A month and a half ago I got $13k off sticker (+$0 for dealer add-ons) on an EV6.
How much was you car after the 13k?
That's sad cars worth like 25k
And they gave you $1200 for your trade: a 2022 Lexus with 8K miles on it 😂

It sounds to me like this nonsense of your credit score and bank statements affecting the price has to do more with data mining than anything else
I think it has more to do with the salesperson thinking more along the lines of a monthly payment.
Probably has more to do with the fact that the dealerships make money selling you financing. Your credit worthiness likely affect how much they make on the financing which in turn affects how much they might be willing to discount the price of the car.

Who the fk is paying MSRP? Let alone "market adjustments" in 2024
Exactly. Here in Germany I see 15-20% off MSRP for a new IONIQ5. That is the kind of market adjustment that is needed 😅
Market adjustments like "local demand adjustment" add thousands to the already high sticker price, along with unwanted dealer imstalled options.
That’s why I like Carmax no negotiations!! No add ons. You can find cars from 100 miles on them. Some of the cars have great deals on them if you look.
They come in low with Trade ins.
Car max prices are about 1000 dollars higher thats why they dont haggle cause they make a good profit.
The ONLY thing that should have cause the price to go up is after all the taxes are added on plus adding an extended warranty will cause it to add up. The price that's on the window sticker is just the Manufacturers Sujested price and it is a starting price for selling the vehicle to a client. Buying a car in America is not complicated if you understand the ins and outs of it. The things to watch out for.
That 7500 bonus cash is probably just the federal ev rebate that the dealer is making it sound like they're giving you a deal. What a joke
Great video, love the live negotiation! Keep these up. Much more interesting!
