Dealer Behavior?

Thanks. I was too pissed off. Love the car, so I may need to do this dance you mention tomorrow.

I walked out today, I can walk out tomorrow for sure. This dealer won't get the best of me even though he thhinks I'm emotional female. LOL

I am a Internet Sales Manager. These kind of tactics bug me because some of us are trying to change the way people view us. Yes have a mechanic look it over. Depending on where you are from most states have laws in place that stipulate you can not have one price advertised and a higher price somewhere else. Is the car one of a kind or can you find it somewhere else? While I must admit many of the games happen because of the buyer and I have seen some people play the walk out game only to lose out on a good or even great deal. So unless it is a jewel I would find a different dealer to buy from. There are some of out there who try and do things the right way. Some other tips: don't allow add one beyond maybe doc fee, have your own payment calculator with you and use it. Make sure they show you everything such as sale price, fees, taxes, total amount to finance ect. That way you can plug the number in your calculator and come up with your own payment. They will likely use a high inflated rate. Do your research on a fair value for the car you want. Don't low ball them. Being like them will not help you. However if you don't feel good about them do not reward them with your business. You may need them down the road so you want to feel good with the place you buy from.

When I sold cars I would often times debate whether to tell a customer about another salesman who has a appointment on the same car. We had awesome prices and Cargurus was our best lead source because of it. When you have a great vehicle that just was lowered in price salesman know that means if he does not get the customer to buy now another salesman will sell it. I have had customer get upset if I did not tell them of a appointment on the car they like. There is a gentle non abrasive way to let a customer know. This dealer was being cocky and abrasive. Likely full of beans trying to manipulate you.

The salesman while on the test drive told me that the dealerhsip was full of vultures, so I should have known and stayed a little calmer when the owner behaved this way. I've also had bad experiences buying a car on my own as a women. Oh well. We'll see what happens. If this one gets away from me another better one will come along. Thanks guys!

Oh, Berney. It is a jewel that's why I jumped in my car and test drove it immediately. I don't want to reward the owner, I want to reward the salesman that was walked over when he tried to let me take the car over night and to my mechanic the next day. Oh well. It may get away. Red convertible Crossfire 06 manual with low miles. Great condition in my neighborhood. I have to be patient. The new used car is a 50th birthday gift to myself.
