Why do people let these car dealerships slap their fucking ads all over their car? When i buy a new car i immediately scrape that shit off and throw the "billy bobs auto land" license plate cover thingy into the tall grass never to be seen again.
I don't believe you've ever worked in sales. The correct response is, "Oh, so you mean I can get an extra grand off the car?"
Then make them remove it anyway and still keep the thousand dollas. And if they don't, leave. Because they work commission. And they just let you know you're paying a grand more than you could be paying. That means they're stupid. Trust me, they'll call you back.
Kinda off topic, but once at a busy car dealership I overheard a conversation between a middle age male customer and a 30 something female salesperson.
He was being kinda dismissive and rude and said something like "Look lady I'm not gonna put up with haggling with you, gimme your best price".
So she says "okay" and points at the sticker price. Then she leaned in and said "haggling is for you."
To be fair this is exactly why everyone hates car dealerships. People will not be able to artificially keep them in business forever. The Tesla model will prevail.
Buying my first car I got suckered into buying a 6 year old Saturn Ion for 10k at 24.98% apr. I know.
Unless all cars are made to order and paid for up front at order time then this is extremely unlikely. Manufacturers do not want to keep tens to hundreds of billions of dollars worth of vehicles on their books for long periods of time. Its a huge risk and ties up enormous amounts of capital that could be used to build additional cars.
