Crap dealers say

Great info! Thanks for sharing this.

Its been a very long time since I traded in a car. Although, I hate selling cars myself because of the craptastic lowballers out there, I still do it to get the most money. I think the last time I traded in a car was 1997. :-)

later,
Curt

it was a pain in the butt and the sales people are very very pushy.

I've heard this from several others people too. I also hear that you can'y look at anything on their lot with out talking to a sales person first. You have to walk through the show floor to get to the lot in the back.

I thought you just kept all your cars and added them to the collection, hence the reason you need a new house to get a bigger garage? :rollinglaugh:

Yea its a real pain. and the one time they wanted my info so they could run a credit check while on the test drive. I understand they have the job to sell a car but for real can i just look with out someone breathing down my neck. ha.

Seriously? Shouldn't they wait to see if you want to buy their car first before they ask for that?

Sales 101: You have to earn the right to ask for a sale.
You can just toss someone the keys and ask for their social security number so you can soft pull their credit while they're out, lol.

We've been there twice now. Test drove a total of probably 5 cars. Never once have I felt pressured (same salesman both times). We left both times without him even asking us for our phone number. Guess it all depends on the salesman.
