It gets a lot easier the longer you are in it due to repeat customers and referrals.

Yea, either that or management.

Yea, either that or management.

Also easier if you don't have a bunch of people with negative attitudes working with you. You gotta have your mind right. Negative attitudes can spread like Covid 19.

It seems like just being a semi normal human would put you ahead of the game in car sales.

We're use to comments like that.

I've never come across a good car salesman. I've bought 3 and they are lucky I was coming in to buy.

Was going to be in the market for new car later this year. Nothing expensive - something like a Mazda6. Any suggestions when I should hit the dealers assuming things ease up in a month?

In my area car lots are dead right now and it is the end of the month. This weekend might be a great time to buy. It is a buyers market.

GM is offering 0% for up to 84 months and no payment for 120 on select models.

Typical elitist attitude. Looking down your nose at a profession you don’t respect. I’m sure you’re a talented properly trained salesman.

Did you end up going to a GM store?

Not at all. I just haven’t come across a good car salesman.

I did yes.

Toyota was in Nashville. I didn't really want to drive to Nashville anymore

Lmao.

Yet you bought from 3 bad salesmen.

 

[Big Gucci Sosa]

Lmao.

They were lucky enough to have me come in ready to buy. They sure wouldn’t have got to ring a bell otherwise. I’m sure you sell tens of cars a year bud!

Missed the edit. I’ve bought more dealerships than you have cars.... so you figure that out. Lol

I have experienced significant differences in salesmen, and dealers in general.
Locally there is a huge GM/Cadillac dealer... I always check in with them when I want to trade or just buy. I always get a high degree of handling by salesmen, managers, and appraisers. And then a few days pass and I hear back with an offer, usually much lower than my research tells me.

As a backup I traveled 120 miles south to another GM dealer... and I worked exclusively with one person until it was time to sign the papers. I have bought 4 vehicles from them in 7 years, and have an order in for the 5th. This salesman knows his stuff, and minimizes the BS. He makes the calls to find the vehicle I want, and horse trades with other dealers to get it.

Being bigger is not anyway linked to being better in the auto business.

You dont even know what SaaS is. I bet this tech boom is hurting your old mind.

Was slightly mocking the tiff that @Big Gucci Sosa and @txbo was having earlier.

In all seriousness, congrats in this environment

I'd like to purchase a McLaren P1. Preferably in cash. In several installments of $9,999

There was a time when many dealerships had a customer ring a bell when they bought a car. Then everyone would cheer. It still happens in some places but not as common any more.
