Anybody like the haggling crap? I hate it I take a business card and write what I'm willing to pay and tell them to call me if they can meet it and I leave.

That is just arrogant! You know you will negotiate anyway. What if your unrealitic on YOUR price? What if the vehicle you want to buy is thousands more than you are willing to pay? How do you know? have you done the research? Is your price real or unrealitic? Does anyone call you back? Or do they just call you an Ahole and laugh at you while you walk out.

Horse trading will always be the way. Even if they give you the best price on first pencil, you want more because you think they are screwing you. Are you against a guy making a profit? Gotta feed the kids once in a while or they get cranky.

The internet gives the car buying public just enough information to be dangerous. In this economic environment, people want to "steal" a car. Well, just go in and make youe best deal and be the guys friend,

He puts his pants on just like you do and all he wants to do is make a lving. How would you feel if someone did that to you where you work? I bet you would call him all kinds of names.

Write the number down you are willing to pay and say: " I will buy today at the number on the paper" sign it and see what happens next. See how close they come to your unrealisitc numeber(if it is) and work from there. I bet they will do all they can to earn your business because you made a commitment to purchase, Handing him a business card and walking out is no offer to buy right now.

What if they said yes to your numebr? Would you buy? Or, would you think they could have done better and asked for more?

Selling used cars, I like the way you think^^^

we need more people like you.

Yeah, and making close to a six figure salary every year selling anything I can.! Even during the downturn.

I can't stop laughing at how pissy this thread got. Wow, seems like a bit of over-reacting.

Six figure salary... yeah, feed those kids, LMFAO!

it's only partially the salesman. the real **** takes place in the "finance office." that's why you have to wait at least half an hour before your "contact" is ready.

the time is like the picadors stabbing the shoulder muscles to weaken he bull and lower his head.

wait no more then ten minutes and go home. they will bring a contract to you and deliver your car.

If you ask me car salesman are douchebags, and yes I also steal cars when I buy them. I could careless if you feed your family - matter of fact if I was dealing with you and you died in front of me I'd laugh and ask for another smuck I'm there for a car not to make a buddy.

your a big ******- get over your self lowlife! It's people like you who are so unhappy and miserable who we can't stand! LOSER!

"get over your self lowlife"

This coming from a car salesman thanks for the laugh. I might just go into a lot today and almost buy something with cash just to smash the dreams of one of your kind.

Look, I NEVER once slammed you or made derogatory comments about you or your family. Who's the real dip**** here? This is a big joke. You started this thread and look where you took it! I would toss your ass out of my store with a big stick in hand.

You are not impressing me when you say you could pay cash. Do you think I care about your bank account? I could care less. Over 40% pay cash now, you ain't special.

As for Rick, you and evreyone else has the opportunity to say no to any products that are offered to you. You don't like what you see, don't sign the papers.

WALK AWAY! Come back another day.

I think it's time to end this misery and get to selling cars! I need to take advantage of some unsuspecting car buying dickhead like you!

Funny, you say Almost buy something cash? I bet you couldn't buy a tricycle from wallyworld cash!

Stephen, I hope that your comment is sincere. If it is, thank you. This is a subject that has lots of emotion tied to it and the truth is the auto makes and dealers ruined tainted the auto industry for the car buying public.

This will be my only comment on this thread:

FXDWG is a fine BOTL. He is a nice, decent guy, who I have enjoyed herfing with on more than one occasion. He does not display any of the negative connotations some people have regarding car sales people. I have sold used cars before and bought numerous new cars over the years. My mother is also very deep in the car business. Most definitely, FXDWG is the type of car salesman that you would do business with a second or third time without thinking twice.

(I would think that a better use of this thread would have been to ask whether there are any car people on this board- there are- and then ask them for help identifying a good deal on the car you seek, even if it is not their brand?)

Wow...just WOW!!!

LAWLZCATZ!!!!

Lets just wait and see who else CE decides to piss off. It seems like he is just making the rounds picking on what other people do for a living.

Dude ,,, I have a coat so anything you say wont bother me .

I have met many people like you in my life and try my best to stay away from **** like you.

I have heard of drunk posting before ,,,, but never just plain dumb posting.

", but never just plain dumb posting. "

Wow!!! Do you NOT read anything that gets posted on cbid ever?

Ya know, there is a reason that building contractors and car salesmen are ranked down there with lawyers.

and ROR at this thread!
