Crap dealers say

[Halon]

Thanks for the explanation. Again though, so should I ask for a trade in value first thing right off the bat before we even go look at cars, and get the managers signature? And I'm still not understanding the trade in stuff I guess, because it seems like they can still offset it no matter what. Unless you are saying I can walk away with hopes that they will call me back a day later with a lower price on the car I want to buy, without being able to offer me less for my trade-in?

Also, is the tousley Ford by you a best price dealer, or are they no good? I ask because they had a lot of fusion that we are interested in.

Yup! You can certainly try that.

And you can compare it against other dealers. If you go to Tousley and they offer you something and you get that in writing, you can confidently shop that against another dealer's offer.

I'm don't think Tousley is a best price dealer (not 100% sure). Most often best price dealers will list their prices on their website, like WB Mitsu's page, or any Walser store. Tousley just has the MSRP listed.

Apple Ford Lincoln 53 1.6T's in stock, and I know they are a best price dealer (That's a Rydell store I could pull inventory from)

An no, please don't just walk in and say "What's my trade worth?" I hate when people do that, lol!
If we don't have a car you want to buy, then why am I going to go look at your car and have my manager do a trade evaluation?

I wouldn't buy from tousley i have went in there twice to look at cars and it was a pain in the butt and the sales people are very very pushy. Witch i understand its their job. I went in there with a check in hand for a new used truck and they wouldn't move the price at all. Meh just went somewhere else ha.

But lots of good info though!

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.

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.
