I've only bought a couple cars new. Kia was a fucking breeze. It was like I walked in and handed them my card, now I have new car. Dodge was a little sloppy and the process took longer, but they were ok. I custom ordered the car and they said it would take 3-12 weeks for it to come in. Took 5 weeks to come in. They didn't completely have their shit together but it was good enough.

>be me 2015
>buy 2007 bmw and make it look like a 2014
>roll up to dealerships freshly washed and ask to see more expensive cars
>pretend i want to buy but just joyride multiple corvettes
>continued to do so for multiple cars at other dealerships
felt good

I sold cars and was in sevice depts for several dealerships for about 6yrs from 2003-2008.
Some of my favorite times was getting rid of the roaches on the lot on our sub-credit lot

One day girl drives up in whats left of a suzuki swift
Im next up
Talk to her says she wants a suv take her to closest one its a explorer
She asks about payment i say 300 of top of my head cause it dont matter i just wanted to see what kind of reaction i would get.
Ohh no she says.... Then she sees our black Navigator fully loaded and its got less than 25k on the dial
She knows its out of her league but she goes around it and asks what kind of gas milage does this get?
Straight up tell her"miss this is a luxury vehicle and if you care milage then this suv isnt for you"
She is stunned then of course offended and asks for my manager is say "ok"
Get my fellow salesman tell him whats up he goes along with it 2hrs later he sells her a aztek for all the money and i get half the comission
I lol'd

Another one just cause i miss LPG
Short and sweet:
See guy walk in to lot from far east end
Walk to him say hello how can i help he says no
Follow him ten steps "hello what can i help you find today sir?"... No response
Follow him about 2 car lengths behind wait for him to turn around
He does and says "can i just look around without anyone helping me?"
I say "No"
He walks off the lot back to his car and never seen again
Felt good
Never said i was the best salesman

My last experience buying a car at a dealership went pretty well:
>salesman picks me up at the airport
>arrive at the dealership
>car is waiting outside
>immediately go for a test drive
>salesman directs me to local back roads
>tells me there are no cops and to go ahead and open it up
>go way, way faster than most dealers care to allow
>salesman is cool, we tear through a few more back roads for a bit
>head back and sign some paperwork
>drive car home

I am a Sales Manager at an Infiniti dealership.

I just want to be liked and everyone hates me.

lmao fuck you

I have been to a Honda and Lexus dealership and the fags there refuse to negotiate the price.

So I just left as I refuse to pay MSRP like anyone would.

Bro, you can't violate
>the no haggle zone.

kek

>I just want to be liked and everyone hates me.
Hey, at least you have something in common with your customers

>I have been to a Honda and Lexus dealership
It depends what you are trying to haggle. If you're going for civics then you won't have much luck. They might knock a few grand off, but that's it.

Sounds like a you were buying a higher end car? Usually dealerships will go above and beyond for people who are buying higher end or expensive cars. I bought a Hellcat last year and my salesmen drove us about 10 miles away from the dealership to a large industrial area with no traffic. He stopped the car, pulled out the red key, and told me to go wild.

You and me both

They don't want you to see the circles under their eyes from the cry they have every morning they wake up and realize they're still a Dodge salesman.

I found a big block of metal just sitting in the engine compartment

More of an American. In most places in the world it is very disrespectful to have a serious conversation while wearing shades.

It's considered pretty disrespectful in most of the US, barring Florida maybe. But Florida is is borderline 3rd-world/Australia-tier.

There is no manager, is there? :)

Sales managers are people too? Can you cite a source?

>Can you take the sunglasses off
>Nah man dang ol sunrays in muh eyes and all dat.
>lights up Marlboro in dealership lot
>Lets go check of this hear 1500 , bitches love it

I Literally just walked away. Does dodge meme like this purposely or is that shithole town I used to live in the next on the list of places to test nuclear weapons?

I think the only car Honda will haggle on is the fit.

That wasn't the "red key " user.
>stranger danger

Of course there was a manager they usually dont come out of the office to talk to customers until they have a deal on paper already.
I look young so i grabbed an older salesman who i could trust that wouldnt skate me on the deal and could play manager.

I work at a US Jaguar/Land Rover dealership

Are you sad that the guys at the other luxury dealerships won't take you seriously because you sell tarted up datsuns?

Answer me this

Is the Q50 really the Skyline successor?

>used car sales manager shows up to work with a boner because he took too much viagra trying to fuck his wife. leaves for hospital
>a 90's caddy funeral home limo gets taken in on trade. a forward-seating, sadness limo. the dealer principal and sales managers get a black porter to drive them around to hockey games and strip clubs, needless to say there's cocaine and hooker bj's involved.
>two salesmen driving their truck home drunk see are getting pulled over. the driver swishes chew tobacco spit to cover the alcohol smell on his breath. Note: it wasn't his spit.
>porter abdul aka 'dabdul', on a lean, dab and xanax cocktail floors a sold new chevy volt in the car wash, destroying it
>customer buys a new escalade at night thinking it's a black one. it's actually a PURPLE escalade and the salesman doesn't tell him.
>the internet video/social media guy offers to shoot a porno of my supervisor

>cunt.jpg

I bought a car at a car dealership

Do car salesmen make enough to rate coke and hookers? Or is it just the sales manager and the dealership owner?

The new & used car 'lifers' made decent money but at the cost of divorces and heart attacks. Finance too. The 8-a-month new car salesmen think they're the hottest shit (after being fed by the sales manager at first) but get BTFO and end up selling Darts.

To add onto this

Avoid GM products at all costs.

going to work at a Chverolet dealership next week as a sales consultant, ive sold cars before on my own but nothing over $4500 for cash no financing bullshit, any tips? other than don't do it

I'm a General Manager at a used car dealership

today marks 365 days without pay

ask me anything

1. Why haven't you starved to death?
2. Why haven't you gotten a different job you dumb ass

Used car dealerships aren't charities. So why are you still there?

1. I sell car parts the dealership doesn't use or will throw away/ ive been eating into my savings and flipping cars on the side
2. My dad is the owner and hes the biggest dick anyone has ever met, im being held hostage

>email dealership asking what the out of door cost would be
>no fucking email back
>for a car that's been on the market for months
well they can go fuck themselves.

i have about 18,500 USD with the owner (my dad) who wont give it to me so im waiting around till i get that shit so i can dip, also its a family owned business and ive never worked anywhere else in my life. I only basically everything to do with cars/financing/paperwork/ect. Id have to find a good paying job before I can leave

try calling

:[ Fucking hate talking on the phone

Josh?

No I'm not Josh, but if Josh is in the similar slave situation I'd love to talk to him

If he doesn't have the money to pay you (for whatever reason), either the business is going down the toilet or he's so unethical he's going to keep fucking you in the ass. Either is bad, look for another job and leave.

you're a blue collar wage-cuck, what do you expect?

brehs tell me when and how to get the best deal on a new car

I'm low key really selfless and the company really needs me, he's a total dick but if it doesn't pay off by my birthday next month I'm leaving

>never buy a new car
>profit

As a dealer at a chevy I would like to say FUCK YOU. You assholes give our dealerships a bad name because we always get little shit stains like you who want to test drive the V8 cars then dont buy them. It should be law that you assholes have to pay us for wasting our time

Went to a Honda dealership yesterday to look at the new si. They hadn't been cleaned and serviced yet so could only look at them. The dealer and I ended up bullshitting about our projects and we both own 91 civics. Was pretty fun and he didn't try to sell me shit.

>car with 80 miles on it
>new
Fuck no snake.

>work at FCA dealership
>GM dealership across the street
>they're always jabbing at us about x brand's reliability
>they have 3x the warranty fleet we do
>literally couldn't store them all on site last year because they got so many new cars back with fucked up this and that
>i've played phone games and cleaned shop all week because we have nothing to work on
>mfw

>I'm low key really selfless
Straight up tell him you want your money and see what happens. Your opinions may change.

I'm thinking of getting a 14 or 15 abarth, any known issues with them?

The dash lights up like a christmas tree and it throws codes every week. Googling it would be faster than listing everything.

Selling cars is a pain? Lots of lookie loos?

I literally Google it, and I get forums just saying "yeah nah rear hatch leaks, most reliable car on Earth. Btw did you hear my sikk flowmasters"

I'm having a hard time finding actual issues with them.

In other words, the company is going down the toilet. It's not going to get better, user. And you're not going to get paid either. Cut your losses.

Lots of faggots who want to test drive and bullshit me for 3 hours then dont buy.

Alright yeah we try to discourage people from test driving certain cars and maybe tell a white lie but you know what? THE V6 IS LITERALLY THE SAME CAR, YOU DONT NEED TO TEST THE V8 BOY RACER. I wasnt the salesman in that story anyway

aside from being ugly? :^)

We don't see many actual Fiats here but from what I've seen the most common thing is they, as said, throw codes for electronics.
BUT...every code I've seen on one for electronics were on things that are part of the popular equipment package.

>V6 is literally the same as a V8

I figured.

I work in refi and our esc is though aul. The cost of a 60/120k esc is super cheap on them, which means not much big stuff goes wrong. Thank fully they depreciate like a rock so I can scoop up a lightly used one for cheap.

>make a test drive
>don't buy the car
>dealer gets mad
here in the name of every human that ever was and ever will be: go fuck yourself
it's called test drive for a reason, not buy drive
fucking cunt

I meant everything but the engine you retards

Then dont bitch when we say "you can test the V6 because if we let every retard test the V8's they would have hundreds of miles on them"

They aren't even close to the same.

The v6 has weaker brakes, cheaper suspension, lower spec cooling system and a cheaper driveline.

And this is why a lot of people don't really like car salesmen that much - you don't even know the product you're selling and you get in the way without really adding any value in return.

Then give us 100 bucks non-refundable, but if you decide to buy it will go towards the purchase of the car. Thats fair for wasting my time and putting miles on the v8

ever heard of the concept of a demonstration car?
get one V8 and let people test drive it, regularly check everything so it stays as new and you are fine
if anyone is a bitch it's you guys

>100 dollar non-refundable deposit to try a car you night not like
"No"

If you don't that most people are not buying them after the test ride, then it's your fault for not closing them better. Git gud.

That not only wastes money on our part, it meaans every 18 year old white kid is going to show uo the day he gets his license to test drive. Look like I have already said its not chevy, its you people who are the problem. Im sure Ford doesn't allow test drives of their V8s

you can still say no to 18yo kids with fresh licenses, dickhead
get some balls, my god
but you don't need to lie about test drives anymore

and why would it be wasted money
first you get way better chances on actually selling a car
second you can still sell the car later on when it has like 5k or 10k or whatever miles with a reduced price and still make a huge profit out of it

your post just showed me that the concept of a demonstration car is new to you
what a fucking shitty dealer you must be

okay i should actually share a story instead of shitposting about the GM guys across the street

>salesjew spergs out

Why should we let you test a car, possible damage it or wreck it, that you are more than likely unable and unwilling to buy? I also sold Chevy for about a decade. The guys actually buying the V8s either dont need a test drive or they get all the numbers worked out satisfactorily first and test drive while finance is printing up the deal.

We know you children are not buying, you dont work for Car and Driver doing a review, and we don't owe you anything. Its our merchandise. It will be handled and operated at our prerogative. If you don't like it, tough shit. Customers are hardly ever right. You don't get to use and abuse our vehicles if you are not willing and able to pay for it. No free fun. Hit the bricks pal.

Its not new to me and I dont own the dealership, I simply work there and that being said I understand why my boss dont want to blow 40k on a demonstration car so assholes who dont buy can ring up miles. Im actually going to bring uo the 100 dollar idea to my boss tomorrow

You can get, and we have the V6 model with the Brembo brakes and all that other shit. People who never sold cars having opinions about how cars are sold. Hilarious.

Most people dont know we get the cars with only a few miles on them at most so the 80 mile thing was a smart play on the dealers part

Exactly. The people who actually buy the v8 models dont want one with all the boy racer jack off test drive miles. They don't even really need a test drive. You have to convince some of them to do it.

And that's why we don't worry what you sub-prime cape entitled cum stains think about your rights to test drive our property. We care about the likes and opinions of real buyers.

bump

this is a shitty story

stereotype your customer and figure out what they'll like most about what they're looking for

Let your aggression flow.

I assume the red key fob is what makes the car go fast?

Black one limits it to like 500 hp

>going to buy a GTR because I want a meme
>can't test drive them at all
Still gonna do it, not sure if I want normie blue or meme red yet.
