Why do car slaespeople treat most buyers like idiots?

For starter they say %26quot; you don%26#039;t understand cap reduction cost%26quot;

Second -you don%26#039;t know car financing.

Third- How much payment do you want a month, don%26#039;t worry about the price etc.

To me,Cap reduction cost is something only idiots will pay to reduce payment.

What makes them think they have MBA or MS degree in Finance and the buyers are uneducated low lives.

Don%26#039;t they know that we all are not that naive.

The thing I hate most is %26quot;Can I run your credit before you take a test drive?%26quot;

Why do car slaespeople treat most buyers like idiots?

because most are and they know it.

Why do car slaespeople treat most buyers like idiots?

Because they are Sales people, and the very point of their job is to sell. They wont always give you good advice, because well...it may hinder a potential sale.

They want to make money like any other business. Sometimes lying or misleading can achieve this.

For example, if everyone knew that the Ubuntu Operating System was FREE, I think most people would use that instead of Windows.

For some reason, we believe Windows is better because we pay for it.

I do use Windows however :)

I know what you mean, however...I have been in sales ( not car )all my life, and I make a pretty good living at it, however in car sales there is such a huge turnover, that most car sales people are uneducated like you said! I would say the average level is 12Th grade or less! with less then a year experience! You need a car, and you want the best price! You did the research...Internet of course! bring you%26#039;re facts!

Good luck out there! don%26#039;t let them get you down!

That depends on where you go. %26quot;Most%26quot; people don%26#039;t know what a cap cost reduction is. And to say that %26quot; only idiots will pay to reduce a payment%26quot; makes you naive. There is nothing wrong with paying down your payment. In many situations it%26#039;s not advisable, but for some, it%26#039;s the right thing to do.

When it comes to a lease, if you concentrate on bargaining the cost of the car, the joke is on you. Although the Cap cost is very important in determining how much you%26#039;ll pay a month, it%26#039;s hardly the most important thing. Many other factors determine lease prices.

If a dealer asks you to run your credit before you drive, a couple of things could have happened. Maybe you insinuated that your credit was shaky, or you met the wrong sales guy, or dealers policy. In my dealership, i ask nobody about there credit until they bring it up. There no need to, if you come in my store, you typically know if you have the credit. If this happens to you, go to another dealership.

Unfortunatley, some saleman are forced into acting the way they do, by the quality of buyers they see on a regular basis, you may be savvy with financing and leasing, but the truth of the matter is, most people are not.

Why do car slaespeople treat most buyers like idiots?

the reason is the prospective buyers, are sometimes idiots as well, remember we are all different, our needs and requirements all vary, so salesman are doing there best to sell you a car but while doing that, finding out all about you the buyer as well, because alot of buyers lie and dont give the salesman the true or the full story about the situation. or the type of car they require.

Why do car slaespeople treat most buyers like idiots?

There are idiots on both sides -- sales and customers.

By the way, it%26#039;s %26quot;cap cost reduction%26quot; not %26quot;cap reduction cost%26quot; See this:

Good sales people don%26#039;t treat buyers like they%26#039;re idiots. But I can tell you that the buyers automatically assume that I%26#039;m one. Like the response of one person on here saying that most sales people don%26#039;t have an education higher then the 12th grade. Well I sell cars and I graduated from high school when I was 16 and went to college and graduated.

The reason we may ask someone what kind of payment they want is because we get people all the time that think that they can buy one of our $60,000.00 vehicles and get a $350.00 a month payment, with no money down. Well obviously we%26#039;re on the wrong car. And why should I waste my time on someone that thinks that it is feasible to do that? I work on commission, so until you buy a car from me I%26#039;m working for free.

I never run credit until there is an intent to buy. Meaning the customer has driven the vehicle, wants to purchase the vehicle, and we have discussed payments.

I treat my clients with the respect that they deserve. I think that I deserve some as well.

Why do car slaespeople treat most buyers like idiots?

I absolutely agree with you on that one! The worst is when you KNOW what you are looking for and they are trying to up sell you. %26quot;What if we can get you in that one for the same price%26quot; You can%26#039;t and I don%26#039;t want to go any higher.

The last car I bought we walked in and I knew about how much i could spend (within a couple hundred bucks) based on my credit, special APR promotions, loan term, etc. I walked on to the lot looking at a 2 year old certified Saab. They go into how they could get me a new one for the same price, blah blah blah. By the time we were done, I bought the 2 year old certified Saab for my deal.

If there are car sales people out there, please relax, you are not going to get a whole lot of people to let themselves get rushed!

Most buyers have no idea what a car will actually cost, what thier trade in value is actually worth, or what thier payments will be on the vehicle they selected even if they get everything they want. Car dealers do this everyday, therefore we%26#039;re very familiar with how to achieve what you want or on the otherhand, not waste time with people with unrealistic expectations. Most buyers do not leave with the deal they had in mind, or even the car that they originally wanted. Buyers should take some time and figure out aproximate payments using a calculator online. Also, figuring out that you%26#039;re not going to qualify for a car loan with 0 down and a 550 credit score would be helpful and also understanding that not everyone will qualify at the best possible terms, despite what they say on T.V. Be reasonable and they will too is the point. Most salespeople are in the business to help you get what you want. Keep in mind they work for free unless you buy something.
