Auto Salesmen and their antics

Indi 2 February 2005 10:50:45
 I have a curiosity question... what does it really mean when the salesman
goes to the back to talk about my offer on a car? Does it mean exactly
that, or is it just a stall tactic?

Thanks much!

 Study up on psychology.... not to say that salespeople are psychologists,
but they have training courses that lead them where they need to go. When it
comes to cars, there are more cars sold with the little head doing more of
the thinking than anything else. Next time you go into a store, look at the
way the store is laid out.... psychology at work.....

A poor salesman will lie to you... a good salesman will let you think you
made your own decision...

No, it's not a stall tactic, it's a smoke break designed to take
control of the customer. A standard "if I could, would ya" break, so we
can tell you no because we know you're so emotionaly attached to the
vehicle that your greed will overcome you when we need a bump for more
gross. We do this even if you are willing to pay full pop. This is
because we know how emotional buyers are.

Oh.. and to the buyers that think they "beat" the dealer, when you
leave we always have your money. We can replace our product easily,we
never loose.

EXACTLY! The new car salesmen take classes on how to read the customer.
(I've seen the class tapes) For example: If a customer has his arms
crossed, it means he is stubborn and probably won't budge. If he will
not make eye contact, he is uncomfortable. etc, etc.

The salesman usually have the edge. Know all your facts before entering
the dealership.

 I once got so angry with the let me talk to the boss process that I got up and
went to the bosses office... Then when the dealer didn't want to service a
warranty problem I blasted up to the service managers office. Both times were
successful, but I still think I paid too much for the car. I found it helpful
to go in right before closing, after I just ate dinner.. Not them....

It isn't the screwing you got, it is the screwing you thought you got.
No matter how good you feel about the deal you just made, the dealer
has made a better one.

So if one dealer is asking $11,000 over MSRP for a Mustang GT and
another dealer is only asking $10,000 over MSRP, you buy the one for
$10K over and feel happy?

 I didn't even see that. Looking around in there... I agree. Nothing is wrong
w/ Best Buy. Sometimes you can find a better deal, but a lot of the time
they sell you quality products at a decent price.
