So I'm looking to buy a used Territory and found one in a local dealership (not Ford).
I've test driven and listened to the salesman bluff his way through things about the car from the passenger seat. Now, how do I cut to the chase and put an offer in? I've had enough with their stupid little sales people games and being treated like an idiot. Examples. No prices on the cars and I had to sit down with the fool for 20 minutes while he listed all the "benefits of buying from a dealer" on paper for me, in alternating colours of pen then highlighting them. I then asked how much the car is and he "went to talk to his boss" for 10 minutes. He only came back when I pretended to be on the phone and started walking out the door. He came back with "Around high 20's". I asked specifically what price and he said "28/29ish". I offered 22. He goes off to "have a chat with the boss" and they're sitting there for 10 minutes so I walked out. This was Thursday last week. Car is still there so I went inside found the salesman again and said "here is my number, I'll pay $22k for the car, call me if that's acceptable. I don't have time to sit down and discuss". He said "come back in your lunch hour and we will sit and see where we can get to" which translates to me as "come back and we will waste your time and treat you like an idiot and make you sign something in desperation on the spot after boring you stupid for hours". Now I just want to know how I can get away with paying as close to my price as possible without going through all the stupid mind-games and "making a list of the things I like about the car" in coloured pencils. I'm tempted to just buy one at fixed price auction and avoid all the BS but I can't find one that isn't white! Why do they have to make a simple things sooooo difficult. Do they not know people have the internet and can do their own price research? Argh!!! |
