It’s a totally fair question to ask. Here in San Antonio it seems that young black professionals drive 2 cars. The BMW 6s in all the different flavors or the Merc E-class coupe. At first I thought it was an ex miltary thing due to our high miltary population.
72 months. A $12000 car is like $250 a month with tax, tag and title. Do you just buy cash?
Well... They don’t move on price for anything. They are very proud of no haggle. Remember though that very few people on the above situation are too worried about total cost if the monthly payment fits their budget....
Fair enough. But remember that even if the rate isn't good at least you can get the car.
Honestly CarMax is a great place for this situation. They will take your PT Cruiser as a trade. You might not get what KBB says it’s worth but, it’s better than nothing. Lenders like a little “skin in the game” so to speak. Also remember that if you are financing that every $1000 is usually around $20 to $25 month. I…
Doug, may I use your pitch word for word when I'm selling MaxCare? It's so simple and elegant.
I’m a car salesman too and the amount of abuse we get from the “public” is INSANE. I work for a national used car dealership that doesn’t haggle and I’ve had customers tell me straight up “I know you say you don’t haggle but if you don’t get me the price I want I’ll get you fired.” It's always the cash customers too.
I think you should just be happy you’re not in a full “crunchy” zone. I can’t imagine how passive-aggressive the note would’ve been in Austin or Portland!
That is the ONLY music that is acceptable!
CarMax has a wonderful reasoning for that. You have to call. That way an expert sales consultant can consult you right into a new car!
I love the new season of House of Cards also. You should start a new feature on how fictional politics impact the car business!
People always come in to my store with the dang KBB price for their trade. "I looked up my 2013 Camby and it should be $23589 according to KBB"
My first car was a unicorn. 30k miles on a 1978 Malibu sedan with factory air and a posi rear end. It was heavy, fast (in my mind) and cool as hell. My dad and I split the cost ($2000!!!) when I turned 18 in 2000. My folks weren't worried about it not having safety features (though my mom worried about the bench…
Y'know Doug I'm finding more whack jobs in the comments since you're exposure has grown. I blame the Australian morning show interview!
What I really like about the process with CarMax is that they try to sell you the warranty straight up. No adding it on on the signing office. They're pretty transparent with it. Others though....
Tavarish! I know this is an older post but I hope that Kinja has some kind of notification system. I may have an opportunity to get a 2003 S55 AMG at wholesale pricing and I'm curious if there is a reliability issue with the AMG go fast bits. In your experience do you see the AMG go fast bits failing or should it…
Sadly CarMax doesn't do that. You need to buy the warranty (MaxCare) at time of purchase. Part of it is that CarMax can't actually guarantee the history of the vehicle. Buying it after it has been through their reconditioning process is a guarantee for CarMax that they won't have a for lack of a better term a money…
Sony apologizing is great and all but are we going to see an article about Xbox Live being down...again
As a blue Polo wearing member of the above mentioned organization it completely drives me nuts when customers ask about the no haggle pricing! I had a guy trying to get me to give him a full tank of gas for free because he wanted to feel like he had been able to haggle.
