YES, YOURS. The occasional customer with a bad attitude is what a salesman has to put up with if he wants to be successful. Obviously you never heard that "The customer is always right" even if they are wrong. YOU as a salesman say you don't put up with attitude, well let me tell you brother, regardless of attitude of the customer, if you want to make a sale, you WILL be nice and politely answer all "stupid" questions that the customer asks regardless of attitude. He probably isn't too happy to be buying a car anyway and most buyers have been screwed over at least a little bit every time they buy a car or have it worked on, so they aren't real happy to be there anyway. But they don't have to put up with a wise-*** salesman as there are lots of dealers around and many nice salesmen looking for a new mark. And anyone with a computer can get the low down on price of any car made and the going interest rate per their credit rating so if you think you are screwing them over, perhaps you are a few, but don't count on them as return customers.

In my opinion, 95% of car salespeople are crooks.

As a kid I was very good at selling cars...

Every Saturday, part of my job was to start every car and wash them... sometimes it was raining so I only had to start the cars and then I would read the owner's manuals.

I was 10 years old and the guys would say asked the kid...

I could do everything to show and demo the cars then I would bring the customer to my Grandfather... it was something I really enjoyed. Too bad he passed when I was 13. Even today, I still have at least one person a week recognize the name and say they or the parents bought all the cars from him... same location since 1942.

I agree that most sales people know very little about the products they sell... some higher end Dealerships tend to be better... like the guys selling new Porsches... they have to be because most of their buyers already do a ton of research before walking in the door.

After Dad died I took Mom to buy a car... she was really appalled at the tactics and never would have believed it had she not experienced it... maybe 1 out of 10 was on the ball.

A couple things to know about buying a car. Every new car dealer pays the same for a equally equipped model. Some dealers do not pay floor plan money ( interest) on the inventory they have on the lot. If they are liquid enough to buy out rite from the mfr. They do however get holdback ( money from the mfr on the back end of the sale) many dealers allocate this money as their interest payments. The ones who own the cars out right have this money to work with to sweeten a deal. When you trade your car, dealers will almost always tell you that they can only wholesale your trade for one reason or another. The dealer likes to sell used cars to a handful of wholesalers who hang around the dealership everyday. These guys know the auction market and like to "bank" your trade 1500.00 ( minimum) behind what it will turn at auction. One ACV from a dealer is not going to be the same 15 miles away. Today, because of the huge cost of new cars, used cars that are really nice, will bring almost retail at auction. One reason for this is that used dealers bring retail customers to auctions, and those buyers are a quick turn and pay a premium for a nice unit. Thinking they saved thousands from what it would be on a dealers lot. The trade is always the biggest bargaining chip in a purchase. If you have a nice one, hold out for all the money on a trade. Salespeople are also pre programmed to think T.A.L. ( they all lie) this is what the salesman thinks about the customer, not the other way around. Think about your next car purchase like a game of liars poker.

What Tomtint says about paying floor plan money on the inventory...everytime I go past an RV dealer who has dozens of huge, loaded motorhomes in inventory on his the lot I wonder how the (bleep) he manages to pay the interest on those.
