Having worked at a dealership for 6 months over 10 years ago, one thing I remember about salespeople is that most don’t have any interest or passion for cars. They also don’t care if the car is shit. As long as they get a commission they don’t care.
That seriously made me laugh 😂 and I have known several who I liked but I have a favorite brand so its easy for me I dont often go to all the car makers except with friends who are looking around but I have been around the block before thats how I ended up being loyal to my brand but if only Citroen brought back the 1972 SM Manual Shift for its 52 nd Anniversary
I rented a Grand Wagooner for a family road trip. It had less than 20k miles. It left us stranded. We had to get a replacement rental. A Chrysler Pacifica mini van. It was far from being as nice but at least in didn’t leave us stranded 🙄
The Accord you showed is the new model that came out just a year or two ago. They do have a 1.5L Turbo 4 or a hybrid. I decry that they dropped the 2.0T motor from the last generation, and it is especially egregious they dropped the 3.5L V6 from 2018.
I almost bought a Chevette back in 1980 when I was in the Navy stationed with the Marines in Jacksonville, NC. at Camp Lejune. I decided I didn't want more debt at an already compromised income level and thankfully didn't make the deal. As Always, May God Bless you and yours! 😇

My dad is 82 and he loves his 2018 Edge with the naturally aspirated V6. He thought about a new one, but he doesn't want a 2.0 turbo. He also doesn't want to have to learn the new technology.
I’m still driving my 2008 Chevy Aveo. Good gas mileage, reliable, easy and cheap to fix, roomy, no rust in Liverpool. Practicality and nothing goes wrong, exactly what you said you wanted in a car. It not worth anything but it’s peppy and reliable. Change the oil every year and put new tires on it is all I have to do.
I owned a Ford Edge (my daughter has it now) and have rented Escapes. They are nothing alike. The Ford Edge feels better built and way more refined. The Escape also has a 1.5 L Ecoboost while the Edge has a 2.0 L Ecoboost. They do not have the same engine.
I worked in a Mazda dealership service department during the rotary motor bad old days. The RX2 and RX3 models were dying like flies in the fall. It was also during the oil embargo by OPEC and it was hard to get more than 16 mpg out of their subcompact sized vehicles. The RX4 with the improved apex seals were an improvement but it was too little too late.
Huge differences between the Escape and the Edge, Hoovie? Crawl in each and drive them, one is a roller skate on wheels, the other is a great road car. My Edge is so comfortable on road trips and averages 24-28 MPG.
When I sold Toyota back in ‘08, I always swayed customers shopping the Yaris to the Scion XA. The Scion was cheaper and had WAY more options for the money
Well, you have to realize the Aveo was the "it beats walking car" or "it beats riding the bus car" for those that could barely afford it; so it served its purpose. They were also the cheapest rental car. I rented plenty of them on business trips where I was flying in only for the day (arrive in morning and fly out by evening of the same day); so it served its quick, cheap purpose.
NY little sister's aveo only died like two months ago. It saved her thousands of dollars. Yes it was junk from the start but it lasted far longer than I thought it would. 250k miles
68.000 getting closer to that 100,000 This is taking much longer than I expected but you guys ROCK. I really look forward to seeing the Saturday Show the most.
I tried selling Chrysler products in the mid to late 80s and just couldn't do it because I didn't believe in the product. I didn't last long at that dealership. You can tell that April really loves Tyler.
WOW! April came almost ALL the way to the end of the episode before saying something weird. That must be some kind of a record 😛 Rather than that....great upload, guys. Best regards from a fan in Norway.
Hoovie is definitely trying his best to keep her interested. I remember when he was a very skinny almost sickly looking person. Now he has a better completion and some muscle, although I think the shirt is doing a lot of the work.😂💪
One of the things that seems loosely connected to successful sales folks is that they need to "genuinely believe" in the product they are selling to be totally effective. If you are going to give someone a features and benefits story, it is generally better that you believe that story yourself first. A second thing that really helps in selling anything is for the subject product to genuinely possess some unique feature that differentiates it from the competition. The only way to credibly sell junk products is to explain to the customer why the product was built as it was and how it is positioned in the market place and then pass the back to them with "your decision". I am not sure if there is any way to regulate vehicle sellers to avoid unethical sellers. Given how many times Hoovie has reported that the seller was not properly disclosing some weakness in a product he was buying seems all too frequent.
Some of these salesman seem like they'd rather just be selling the cars they think are cool and want to own rather than understanding why specific types of buyers would want them. I could make cases for why someone would want the Edge over the Escape and why someone shopping a mid size sedan would want the accord easily in conversation.
If dealers worried about the cars they sell, they would have all gone out of business ages ago. A good salesman (auto or otherwise) is only focused on selling the car (product). Things that happen after the sale is some else's problem.
Toyota was genius with the BZ4X HERES WHY They knew moving to EVs was happening to fast. At the same time needing to be compliant with emissions. Partnering with subaru puts the risk on both, and not catastrophic like ford😂 They didnt make a ton of them for a reason and went all in on hybrid tech. Toyota is king.
The problem with the Accord is not that it’s dated. It was actually just redesigned. The issue, and the CRV is the same way, is that they charge the same or more money as competitors but the Accord and CRV are missing tons of features. Why would I buy a $42,000 CRV Touring that doesn’t have cooled seats, a 360 camera, or panoramic sunroof?
Nissan Leaf: Nissan had a major head start in EV’s for the average person. Then completely let it marinate into irrelevancy as per standard Nissan operation. Nearing 15-years of production, and STILL no thermally cooled battery. They sold ok while they were basically the only EV you could buy, as soon as competitive EV’s hit the ground my double digit waiting list turned into a couple people. Even during the used-car shortages Leafs would sit haha. Was it the worst car, no, but it’s so lame in todays (or even 5-years ago) EV landscape
Hoovie, "Twister"? I see that lone VHS on the shelf there. The Entrrprise D, love it. The Plymouth SuperBird, I’m with you. The SR-71 Blackbird, hell yeah! But you pick only one movie to grace your set, and its Twister? I love Bill Paxton as much as the next guy…"game over man, game over!" But, Twister…?
A Ford Escape and an Edge. Are different vehicles. The escape is a small SUV. The Edge is midsize. The Edge is wider. Better suspension. Quieter cabin. In size the Edge is closer to a Explorer without the third row
My most embarrassing car sales were the PT Cruiser for $5,000 over MSRP for the first year they were out. I was just a salesman and sold about 60 that year. The other one was a Range Rover that was just out of warranty. I got a call from a guy that lived 50 miles away. We made an appointment and they came down to see it. I had gone out to make sure I knew the car and it was good to go. The air suspension wasn't working. They got there and he looked over and tested everything and ot worked. They didn't buy it that day. Three days later he called and said they wanted to buy it. I went out and made sure it was good to go and another air suspension fault. When they got there I told them the truth. He tested it and everything worked. I talked to him a few times after and they were happy. Maybe it just didn't like me. 😂
The Ford Edge is about 30% larger than the Escape and even though they share engines, the Edge 4wd runs better than the Escape- gets 30mpg versus 24 for the Escape. Also, the Edge is built in the Louisville truck plant. For my money, the Edge is a better vehicle. (We have two of both in the family)
I had one of those Ford Focus. I actually loved it. I topped out at 43 mpg and got 40 regularly. It handled well and was fun on the back roads. I just paid it off, then 3 months later, the transmission died, and no one would touch it. I had to trade it in. Then, in a few weeks, I get in the mail a letter from Ford promising me a new transmission if anything happens to mine.
I drove a 2018 Edge Sport (2.7 TT) for almost 80k miles and had zero problems. It was a great car. Very comfortable and the AWD system on ice was fantastic.
I stopped selling back in 2017. I sold a few Sparks, which weren't great, obviously. However, back then you could get a base for $9,999. Now I see used ones selling for much more. I saw a new Mirage for sale recently for 21k...no WAY. Had an '07 Uplander. Decent power w the 3.9, other than that it was ridiculously terrible in every way. One of my most terrible customers bought a new 2015 Traverse. I knew what I was selling them and they deserved it.
In the 1970’s I sold stereo equipment at a Detroit area stereo store. There was a store brand receiver that we would not sell, except for one salesman. They offered a large spiff to sell it and still we would not sell it. The funny thing is that people that bought one from the one salesman would come to return it on the days that salesman had off. So we had to deal with an unhappy customer returning a receiver we would not sell.
The Accord used to be a great car. I had a 2013 with over 150k miles and it was still running great. It had a V-6 and was really very quick. Now you can't get a V-6 in Honda OR Toyota. I sold it to buy an Equus...
When it comes to Honda's, the new Prologue EV isn't selling either. I think consumers are worried about reliability due to its GM DNA. It was the similar situation with the original Honda Passport because that Passport was a rebadged Isuzu Rodeo, and it wasn't that good.
Tyler, can definitely agree with you on the Aveo, worked for Chevy as a tech during those years, absolute pile of crap. Sales wise, done Subaru, Porsche, VW and Hyundai. Honestly, only thing I would say I wouldn't do again is VW. Is a brand struggling with an identity crisis. Ever since Diesel gate, they don't know what they are. GTI is only thing remotely interesting, but the Mk8 is a shell of its former self. Subaru was putting out a pretty stellar product, other than the earliest CVTs being a bit soulless. I would disagree with the thought on the Taycan, I felt like they were fantastic cars, and the refresh on them is going to make them even better. And Hyundai's current line (as you and April discovered with the new Santa Fe) is excellent.
I sold cars for a couple of years from 2006-2008 at a Chrysler, Dodge, Jeep store and one sale that kind of made me embarrassed was a new 2006 PT Cruiser with a 5 speed to a single mom who was trading in an old Buick on it's last legs. At the time Chrysler was offering some incredible year-end deals to move inventory and I think she got 0% financing for 72 months plus a rebate.
Isn’t the baby bronco pretty much a re platform engineered Escape, based off the Kuga in the UK, and run nothing but 93 octane and it is one amazing vehicle. Rode in a Bronco Sport that’s been hammered up and down back roads and it was way quieter and than anything I’ve been in, besides the escape. The 1.5L 3 cylinder ecoboost will put you back in your seat, it rides so good. When it can chirp the tires AWD on a 1-2 shift you know it’s a fast car. Religious reliable maintenance is necessary and a ford will not treat you wrong.
The dealer who is embarrassed about the Ford edge, must not understand his product very well. The edge is larger than in much every dimension, comes with the turbo four compared to the escapes turbo three, and has also been discontinued for 2025. I rent cars up for living in the edge is one of the most popular models.
The interesting thing is that the Focus is one of the very best vehicles, ever, especially used, IF you get the manual transmission. Avoid anything from Ford with an automatic, same as Chrysler/Jeep. Yes, that basically means get a manual Mustang, or a Fiesta/Focus used.
The sad part about the Accord being behind the competition is that the generation is fairly new. Honda has gone hard into the "car as an appliance" way of designing their vehicles. Smaller hybrid engines and CVT transmissions that get you from A to B, but don't deliver any joy. Bland styling with interiors and tech that are nothing to write home about. As a guy that owned 2 prior Accords it took me 2 minutes to rule it out when I was buying a new car last year.
I rented the new Accord twice and absolutely fell in love with everything but the seats. They are so thinly padded that it hurt my tailbone. I tried hard to convince myself that it’d be fine, so I rented one again and nope - the seats really are that terrible.
Decades ago I was fired from sales at a home audio store because of an ADC phono cartridge that (yes I'm that old) would fail in just about every one sold (and it was 150 bucks then). I quietly convinced a customer to buy a different brand and was fired on the spot when the manager heard me nearby.....
Have owned two top of the line ford edge SUVS both were and still are the nicest vehicles that I have ever owned. The escape does not even come close to fit and finish and comfort.

Didn’t take long to get monetized. You have multiple sources of income Tyler. This, your channel, the Barret Jackson show, (Not sure about Car Trek anymore?) I just hope your financial security is just click bait and you’re actually doing fine. You deserve it! Plus the ace up your sleeve the Countach. Always have that to sell if you need out of debt, I hope 🤞
Nowadays really, any SUV is a terrible car if you want to have fun. Even the small ones weigh two tons now, and are just a way to tell everyone you don't care about driving, the environment, and in most cases have given up on life...
My wife’s got 2013 Ford edge and it is a great vehicle. It is bigger than the focus the 3.5 door attack V6 is a good motor. It is a good seller for Ford. I don’t know why Ford discontinued it. Ford screws up continually discontinuing cars and trucks that sell good to bring them back in two or three years all screwed up hence the new bronco and the new Ranger and Maverick, but screw ups
The MacMaster (another British youtuber) bought the Porsche Taycen for $120,000 British pounds two years ago and has a bunch of videos where he drives all over the UK, France and Spain. The car has depreciated such that today the car is worth only $37,000 British pounds! Any EV is going to be that clunker in the dealer showroom.
Escape is a small SUV and Edge is a crossover. It’s a totally different Suv bigger and size room here and the stronger engine option. Someone saying escape and Edge are the same. They don’t have a clue what they’re talking about. I had both the edge and the escape two different suvs in size and everything else
The Dacia Spring may be a very meh car, and no one's really going to argue that. BUT, is the most affordable electric car in Europe, which gets more people into EVs. So it definitely has its place.
The Ford Edge is bigger and nicer in every aspect than the Ford Escape. The Edge rides nicer handles better has nicer interior materials and is more reliable. The design although very old for 2024 still managed to rank 3rd among midsized SUV's in consumer reports rankings.
Quite the take given all of the issues with the chargers and challengers (and I used to own a 21 scat). Are you saying Tacomas and 4Runners are not good vehicles? New vettes aren’t good? New 911s aren’t good? 3rd gen 6.7 powerstrokes aren’t good? New civics and Camrys aren’t a good A-B car?
the Honda statement doesn't sound right. 2024 honda accord has 2 engine options. on the low end it is a 1.5L turbo, and on the higher end there is the Hybrid engine.

Feel bad about the hornet. Style wise, I quite like them as a small SUV over anything else on the market.
Yeah, they're not _bad_ looking. Still wouldn't buy one though...
Some of these salesman seem like they'd rather just be selling the cars they think are cool and want to own rather than understanding why specific types of buyers would want them.

Toyota was genius with the BZ4X
HERES WHY
They knew moving to EVs was happening to fast. At the same time needing to be compliant with emissions.
Partnering with subaru puts the risk on both, and not catastrophic like ford😂
They didnt make a ton of them for a reason and went all in on hybrid tech.
Toyota is king.

A Ford Escape and an Edge. Are different vehicles. The escape is a small SUV. The Edge is midsize. The Edge is wider. Better suspension. Quieter cabin. In size the Edge is closer to a Explorer without the third row
Stellantis ? nooooo wayyy “ I say fully knowing that they will always be junk cars “
Any new car is slow selling so it’s not just Chrysler, but y’all LOOOVVVEEEE to trash them
I bought my Ford Focus ST mere weeks before they announced the move to suvs and trucks, thank god.
My most embarrassing car sales were the PT Cruiser for $5,000 over MSRP for the first year they were out. I was just a salesman and sold about 60 that year. The other one was a Range Rover that was just out of warranty. I got a call from a guy that lived 50 miles away. We made an appointment and they came down to see it. I had gone out to make sure I knew the car and it was good to go. The air suspension wasn't working. They got there and he looked over and tested everything and ot worked. They didn't buy it that day. Three days later he called and said they wanted to buy it. I went out and made sure it was good to go and another air suspension fault. When they got there I told them the truth. He tested it and everything worked. I talked to him a few times after and they were happy. Maybe it just didn't like me. 😂
The Ford Edge is about 30% larger than the Escape and even though they share engines, the Edge 4wd runs better than the Escape- gets 30mpg versus 24 for the Escape. Also, the Edge is built in the Louisville truck plant. For my money, the Edge is a better vehicle. (We have two of both in the family)
A beautiful broke swan..lol
You are a great couple. I'm happy you found each other.
I had one of those Ford Focus. I actually loved it. I topped out at 43 mpg and got 40 regularly. It handled well and was fun on the back roads. I just paid it off, then 3 months later, the transmission died, and no one would touch it. I had to trade it in. Then, in a few weeks, I get in the mail a letter from Ford promising me a new transmission if anything happens to mine.
I drove a 2018 Edge Sport (2.7 TT) for almost 80k miles and had zero problems. It was a great car. Very comfortable and the AWD system on ice was fantastic.
I stopped selling back in 2017. I sold a few Sparks, which weren't great, obviously. However, back then you could get a base for $9,999. Now I see used ones selling for much more.
I saw a new Mirage for sale recently for 21k...no WAY.
Had an '07 Uplander. Decent power w the 3.9, other than that it was ridiculously terrible in every way.
One of my most terrible customers bought a new 2015 Traverse. I knew what I was selling them and they deserved it.
In the 1970’s I sold stereo equipment at a Detroit area stereo store. There was a store brand receiver that we would not sell, except for one salesman. They offered a large spiff to sell it and still we would not sell it. The funny thing is that people that bought one from the one salesman would come to return it on the days that salesman had off. So we had to deal with an unhappy customer returning a receiver we would not sell.
Realistic?
@@Jaxav8or No. Stereoland had the Acoustiflex house brand.
The Accord used to be a great car. I had a 2013 with over 150k miles and it was still running great. It had a V-6 and was really very quick. Now you can't get a V-6 in Honda OR Toyota. I sold it to buy an Equus...
Gotta say I agree about the egde. Interior is crap but back when it had a v6 I gotta say it was great to drive
Hoovie's Garage now rebadged as Beautiful Swani's Garage. 😮
When it comes to Honda's, the new Prologue EV isn't selling either. I think consumers are worried about reliability due to its GM DNA. It was the similar situation with the original Honda Passport because that Passport was a rebadged Isuzu Rodeo, and it wasn't that good.
Tyler, can definitely agree with you on the Aveo, worked for Chevy as a tech during those years, absolute pile of crap.
Sales wise, done Subaru, Porsche, VW and Hyundai. Honestly, only thing I would say I wouldn't do again is VW. Is a brand struggling with an identity crisis. Ever since Diesel gate, they don't know what they are. GTI is only thing remotely interesting, but the Mk8 is a shell of its former self. Subaru was putting out a pretty stellar product, other than the earliest CVTs being a bit soulless. I would disagree with the thought on the Taycan, I felt like they were fantastic cars, and the refresh on them is going to make them even better. And Hyundai's current line (as you and April discovered with the new Santa Fe) is excellent.
I sold cars for a couple of years from 2006-2008 at a Chrysler, Dodge, Jeep store and one sale that kind of made me embarrassed was a new 2006 PT Cruiser with a 5 speed to a single mom who was trading in an old Buick on it's last legs. At the time Chrysler was offering some incredible year-end deals to move inventory and I think she got 0% financing for 72 months plus a rebate.
Isn’t the baby bronco pretty much a re platform engineered Escape, based off the Kuga in the UK, and run nothing but 93 octane and it is one amazing vehicle. Rode in a Bronco Sport that’s been hammered up and down back roads and it was way quieter and than anything I’ve been in, besides the escape. The 1.5L 3 cylinder ecoboost will put you back in your seat, it rides so good. When it can chirp the tires AWD on a 1-2 shift you know it’s a fast car. Religious reliable maintenance is necessary and a ford will not treat you wrong.
There’s a great video on electric Porsches from a guy in the uk
Porsche won’t even let him trade it back in because no one wants them 😂
The dealer who is embarrassed about the Ford edge, must not understand his product very well. The edge is larger than in much every dimension, comes with the turbo four compared to the escapes turbo three, and has also been discontinued for 2025. I rent cars up for living in the edge is one of the most popular models.
Yeah, they have a bunch of rental cars the grand Wagoneer probably giving them deals if they keep it on the DL
The interesting thing is that the Focus is one of the very best vehicles, ever, especially used, IF you get the manual transmission. Avoid anything from Ford with an automatic, same as Chrysler/Jeep. Yes, that basically means get a manual Mustang, or a Fiesta/Focus used.
The sad part about the Accord being behind the competition is that the generation is fairly new. Honda has gone hard into the "car as an appliance" way of designing their vehicles. Smaller hybrid engines and CVT transmissions that get you from A to B, but don't deliver any joy. Bland styling with interiors and tech that are nothing to write home about. As a guy that owned 2 prior Accords it took me 2 minutes to rule it out when I was buying a new car last year.
I rented the new Accord twice and absolutely fell in love with everything but the seats. They are so thinly padded that it hurt my tailbone. I tried hard to convince myself that it’d be fine, so I rented one again and nope - the seats really are that terrible.
Decades ago I was fired from sales at a home audio store because of an ADC phono cartridge that (yes I'm that old) would fail in just about every one sold (and it was 150 bucks then). I quietly convinced a customer to buy a different brand and was fired on the spot when the manager heard me nearby.....
I sold Toyotas for a few months in a past life. The Prius was new. I just couldn’t bring myself to sell it.
Strictly an A-B car. They're efficient I guess but not a car guys car.
Awesome appliance.
The Edge ST will embarrass some small sporty cars like VW GTI and Honda except the most radical one !
I sold PT cruisers and Neons! We knew they were bad
Good Morning Hoovie and Thornie
you two are awesome! ur my favourite daily Luv u both heaps!! x
Have owned two top of the line ford edge SUVS both were and still are the nicest vehicles that I have ever owned. The escape does not even come close to fit and finish and comfort.
Ii had a Hornet as a rental for a few days. It was absolutely terrible.
C’mon Tyler, we both know what the main narrative of what that group is…
Showing off what watch and/or shoes they are wearing.
I'm A Auto Technician. ASE Master certified w/L1. I've been Doing This Professionally Since 1986. There Is Not A New Car Made I would Buy. I Tell Customers A Toyota Or A Honda. But I Tell Them I Wouldn't. I Like GMT400 & Ford Panther Body's. Everything Looks The Same.
They're wrong on the Accord
I got screwed twice with the Ford focus transmission. I’ll never go back.
Didn’t take long to get monetized. You have multiple sources of income Tyler. This, your channel, the Barret Jackson show, (Not sure about Car Trek anymore?) I just hope your financial security is just click bait and you’re actually doing fine. You deserve it! Plus the ace up your sleeve the Countach. Always have that to sell if you need out of debt, I hope 🤞
Thank for sharing!
Nowadays really, any SUV is a terrible car if you want to have fun. Even the small ones weigh two tons now, and are just a way to tell everyone you don't care about driving, the environment, and in most cases have given up on life...
The Rogue Sport should have had a better motor, like the Juke 1.6L turbo motor, or something with 200hp
Gettin a bit fruity there tyler! Lol.
You two are so stinkin' cute together
Those cheap Chevy Aveos were probably the best car for them. You can feel way better than the dealers that sell hell cats to boots lmao
My wife’s got 2013 Ford edge and it is a great vehicle. It is bigger than the focus the 3.5 door attack V6 is a good motor. It is a good seller for Ford. I don’t know why Ford discontinued it. Ford screws up continually discontinuing cars and trucks that sell good to bring them back in two or three years all screwed up hence the new bronco and the new Ranger and Maverick, but screw ups
The MacMaster (another British youtuber) bought the Porsche Taycen for $120,000 British pounds two years ago and has a bunch of videos where he drives all over the UK, France and Spain. The car has depreciated such that today the car is worth only $37,000 British pounds! Any EV is going to be that clunker in the dealer showroom.
Escape is a small SUV and Edge is a crossover. It’s a totally different Suv bigger and size room here and the stronger engine option. Someone saying escape and Edge are the same. They don’t have a clue what they’re talking about. I had both the edge and the escape two different suvs in size and everything else
Tyler the Aveo Hoover
As a retired GM sales person ,I have to say the Aveo ia not buying American it's built in Korea for General Motors
The Dacia Spring may be a very meh car, and no one's really going to argue that. BUT, is the most affordable electric car in Europe, which gets more people into EVs. So it definitely has its place.
That Etron gt is beautiful. Wouldn’t mind one for 50k
The Ford Edge is bigger and nicer in every aspect than the Ford Escape. The Edge rides nicer handles better has nicer interior materials and is more reliable. The design although very old for 2024 still managed to rank 3rd among midsized SUV's in consumer reports rankings.
The all-time worst. Cadillac 4,6,8. Buy 2,one to drive or tow to the dealer to pick up the other.
Rinse and repeat.
If it isn't any exotic car, they haven't made a good car since 2012, except the Chargers and Helcats.. 2017 is the hard line..
I agree
Quite the take given all of the issues with the chargers and challengers (and I used to own a 21 scat). Are you saying Tacomas and 4Runners are not good vehicles? New vettes aren’t good? New 911s aren’t good? 3rd gen 6.7 powerstrokes aren’t good? New civics and Camrys aren’t a good A-B car?
the Honda statement doesn't sound right. 2024 honda accord has 2 engine options. on the low end it is a 1.5L turbo, and on the higher end there is the Hybrid engine.
