The article is right on how salesman are. In reality without us car buying on your part is a huge headache. The car business does me well. I service a customers need and the money will follow. If you never been in the car business, we "Crooked" people make our money in hitting unit bonuses. Mark up in new cars is a thin line and with edmunds and other car buying advice it is hard to make money. On the other hand used vehicles is where we pay our bills. If i buy a car as an independent person for 200 bucks and it is worth 10 grand you think i am going to sell it to you for $200? If we make money and the customer is happy and can keep some kind of equilty then we did our job. Now some people of course we are going to make alot of profit others you dont. Depends on the situation. Dont judge a profession over cheasy movies and OLD selling techniques used in the 80s. welcome to the new century we are making a living and if you dont like it well enjoy your craigslist vehicle.

Sales people are paid to SELL. The higher they sell a product for the more profit they take home. It's pretty simple. I think it's safe to say that unless you are buying from a no-haggle dealership like Scion then the person trying to sell you that car is NOT looking out for your best interest. I’ve educated myself before making a purchase and have saved a lot in the process. Being educated about the purchasing process really let’s you understand exactly how crooked these guys are. Sorry guys, if you don't like being labeled get a different job. Oh waaahhh all these POOR car salesmen with starving families. Sales people are paid to SELL.

Ive been part time working my butt off to become a career firefighter. Well Im sorry I cant afford working an ambulance, where I'd be making minimum wage. Who can afford a family with that? So Im selling Cars. Telling us to get other jobs is BS. what Jobs?! The wrap we get, Its bullshit. If you're not a serious buyer. Dont waste our time and money ( test driving and missing the opportunity for us to sell a car to a serious buyer whose already done research and is ready to take the next step). We work on commission, we dont get paid hourly. Be nice, polite respectful and UPFRONT! Because I am. If you walk onto my lot and I "up" you, and you're a complete bitch or jerk ill call you out, and tell you to get lost. If you approach me kindly, rather than having your guard so high up your ass. Ill do everything i can, to give you what you asked for. Just remember asking salesman for the best price over the phone or on the lot is getting you nowhere quick. Ask to speak to the manager. Also do remember its a business. Ive been selling new cars for two years now.. Ive been part time working my butt off to become a career firefighter.

Okay.... 1) If they're gonna pay what you want, you wouldn't be messing with me and my offer 2) They're gonna drive down from the city to look at a really nice-looking car that I saw on Craigslist. Shit, if the car looked like it did on Craigslist, I WOULD have paid that price. Then, as soon as I left the dealership, I get a call back with a "I just called my boss" deal. Moral of the story: The best way to win a fight with a Car Salesman is to WALK AWAY. They think they have you in their hands-watch how fast the terms change when you say "Sorry, just can't do it".

I pissed off one dealer so badly he refused to service my new car. ALL BECAUSE I KNEW WHAT THE HELL HE WAS UP TO and got a good deal ANYWAY. Thats ok. He can 'punish me' for knowing what I'm doing.

I'm buying a Honda Pilot (2011) this week and I've already jewed him down from the MSRP of $36,500 to 30,500. No money down no trade-in. little does he know there's a big old trade-in flying his way to slap him in the fat, greedy face. MUUUWWAHAHHAHAHAHAH!!! I eat salesmen for breakfast wehn I buy a new car.
