hey these new car dealers have millions invested. they are gonna make money! you arent going to stop that.
so quit trying. next time you drive by a dealership look up on the roof. see the satellite dish up there?
, they are all directly connected to their respective mfg. and secret electronic mails come in each day, some of these memos are incentives that only the dealer principal reads, & for good reason, it might be $1000.00 payments for every Toyota Tundra he (Delivered) the month (Before). DO you think he wants those 10 salesmen he has finding out that he got another $1000.00 per unit after the deiivery?? hell no! cause then he’d actually owe them a commission on that $1000.00 now wouldn’t he? SO THEY KEEP THIS A SECRET!
AGAIN…
ask your friends where they buy, how many they have bought, from which dealer, which sales person they use
ask, ask, ask, ask questions to friends neighbors and relatives. you’ll find those folks are going back to that same dealer for a reason. ask your friend or relative to call the salesperson in advance of your arrival at the dealership. have them say hey im sending a really good friend to buy a car from you, take care of them! your friend might even get a perk or “bird dog” fee for sending you over there.
then you go in ask for that same sales person (never see another sales person)
and say my friend or relative, mr. bob so-in-so sent me to see you!
they will usually roll out the red carpet. and treat you like royalty.
or at least I did. if they dont, tell your friend. the sh—t hit the fan too!
another solid theroy I always tell friends & relatives is a way to get te 'biggest bang" for their buck$$
is to stick to (that’s not “fool proof” by any means) ,
but, will always give you some measure of leverage…
is to always “cut your deal” on or about the very last day of the month.
I remember how hungry I was to get one last deal or two
in on the last day of the month! I always cut some pretty skinny deals for my customers in those final hours with the dealer, the sales manager, and the used car manager cause they all usually had secret incentives ,quotas, & bonus money on the line that last day of the month. and with only hours left to collect it, if they reached certain goals set by the factory or their dealer/manager. so they wanted their share too! and would always cut the salesman a better deal on that last day! the winner is: the customer!
TRY IT… GET YOUR CAR APPRAISED ON THE 10TH OF THE MONTH.
THEN GO BACK ON THE 31ST, WITH A SERIOUS ATTITUDE ABOUT TRADING…
A TRADE IN IS ALWAYS WORTH A LITTLE MORE. LIKE $500.00 OR MORE ON THE LAST DAY OF THE MONTH.
hope this helps.
