Oh you mean I'm a buyer who educated himself enough to not be coerced and manipulated into a deal detrimental to my pocketbook. No problem, I'd just buy a car elsewhere. But my tactics have worked.
Maybe I was lucky enough to get a sales person who realized I was there to buy a car that had sat on their lot unsold for a year and am not there to play BS with them. If a dealership wants a last year car to sit and take up space instead of being sold, they're welcome to it.
A sales person is there to get as much money out of me as they can. I'm there to save as much of my money as I can. We can deal or not.
Don't confuse being educated with being cheap.
If you purposely brought in a check that was thousands of dollars short... I would say "that is a great down payment, how do you want to pay for the rest of the car"
A good salesperson does thousands of vehicle transactions in a career, you may do 25 or 50 in a lifetime depending on the size of your family or bank account.
I promise you, you are not as educated on car buying as a good seasoned sales rep. Your tactics may work with a desperate or green pea salesperson, not a seasoned vet.
There is no voodoo or manipulation.
Sale is sales. Does not matter what it is... you get as much profit for your product as you can. You do that by building value in what you are presenting, price doesnt sell, the value one sees does. People that buy off price alone are always the most miserable people to deal with and usually are never happy with what they buy. Fact.
I feel sorry for the salesperson you dealt with, he may have made a 100 bucks off the transaction, which is pathetic and unfair. In my eyes customers like you are not worth dealing with the headache and brain damage.
Sounds like you bought an odd ball car that sat for a long time because nobody wanted to buy it. Hope you were smart enough to get a new battery installed upon delivery.
Do you not try to make as much money as you can in your profession or do you settle for minimum wage/peanuts?
A cheap customer usually comes hand and hand with complaints, bad surveys, etc. I would pass on doing business with you. Thank you.
