      Walk in pre approved from your bank or another bank. Don't pay fees and don't buy the extras. Ask him to beat you financing. If he does, ask to see the buy rate. He will probably get mad. If he won't show, walk. He'll stop you and give you the buy rate, usually at least a point below what he told you.

      @@kennethsasser7844 the buy is the rate the dealer actually gets from the bank before they add their points. In short, yes, its the lowest for that particular bank at that moment. For example, the bank come back with 2.5 percent when the dealer runs it by the bank. The finance guy then comes to you and says I got 4.5 percent for you. The buy rate was 2.5, the dealer added points is 2 points. They will also tell the bank that you are offering 20% down, even of you are not. The bank will then give the dealer an even lower rate, the finance guy then comes back to you and says the bank is being tough but if you put 20 percent down they'll give you 5% ( in actuality the dealer got 1.9 from the bank as an example) they then try and force you to put money in to get a lower rate that they mark up even more and make even more. Finance guys are pure crooks, they lie like hell every time they open their mouths. Always ask the bu rate and to see it on paper. If they refuse, walk, they don't want to get caught screwing you.

      Come in with financing but let the dealer try and beat it. The end price of the car they will allow can be tied to the financing. You cut that off and you leave that portion on the table. It all works together. I always have the preapproved financing from my credit union and legitimately hope they beat it. Its far easier to do it all in one place. Trading in a car is a personal thing. You WILL get more privately, but it takes time, can be a hassle, etc. How much is the delta worth. Additionally, at dealers that don't negotiate on sale price, often the negotiation happens with the trade in. BTDT.

      In 2015 I bought a brand new 2015 Honda Civic for $248/mo for 60 months. It was $21,000 MSRP however i got it for $19,000 bc it was a leftover (they were trying to make space for the 2016s). I put $3,000 down and financed $16,000. I managed to get 2% interest rate bc of my credit making my payments $248/mo.
      I paid my car off in 3 years instead of 5 by paying more then my monthly payment so i didn’t have to pay the interest. It is possible to finance a car for $250/mo just gotta go to the right dealership, and buy a car that’s not overly priced and have a down payment. My sales guy was great!

    I had a bad experience even with knowing the vehicle I wanted and pre-approved through my bank for it. I get there and the sales man told me they no longer had the vehicle. He completely gave me the run around. Even trying to get me to get a vehicle outside of my price range through a different finance company. Finally after EIGHT (8) HOURS, I was worn down and told him I’d just try again later. This man told m he wanted to look at one more vehicle. It was the SAME vehicle I went in and asked about that he told me had been sold!!!! Even after that, it took two weeks because I told my bank if they didn’t take all those fees off that I didn’t request, I didn’t want them to release the funds and I would park it back on their lot. I was so heartbroken after reflecting back on my experience but I really wanted that vehicle. The salesman didn’t have to do me like that. I still have the vehicle and I want a newer model, but I’m so afraid of going back to that dealership.

    You and I both know if someone does there homework it takes less time to purchase a vehicle. The Finance people can bog the whole thing down. When dealers wants to increase sales, they hire more salespeople, how about having more finance people to “check out” the customers quicker thus freeing that salesperson to do his job. Yes you and I can multitask to an extent.

      It only takes that long if you don’t come in prepared. My mom bought a new Mazda 6 last month and was in and out in 2 hours because she came in looking at those cars, already set her budget, and had the money ready if she liked the car. And told the finance guy no to everything so she didn’t spend forever in there

    Tip #6 seems more for the sales guy. I like to look discuss and think about it. Then compare and think more. The sales guy would prefer me to only consider his time and block out half my day. As you said, this is a big purchase and may take weeks to make a good decision ....for the buyer.

    I just bought a c7 grand sport 3 weeks ago. Got exactly what I wanted (trade amount, financing terms, interest rate and vehicle price) and was only at the dealership for 73 minutes. 3-4 hours sounds excessive and I would not stay that long for a transaction that takes half of that.

    I made an appointment when the lease was up on my wife’s truck, we got there and the sales guy didn’t think it was important enough not to be with other customers at the time. No we did not do any further business with that dealership. (You can secure your own financing and have the bank handle a lease buyout 100% so you never have to even talk to the dealer. 99.5% of it can be done electronically and the last 2 signatures at the local notary)

    My last two leases with BMW it took me less than two hours total. About 1 hr to make a deal and I came back later on in the day the first time for 45 min to pick it up. The second lease was 1 hr to make a deal and about 1 hr to pick it up the next day. I would walk out of the dealership if they told me 4 hrs

    One thing many forget is Auto Insurance Estimate. One time I went to buy a Evo X, had the money to make the payments, am at the dealer and the salesperson was the one who mentioned the insurance. *I have a perfect record and many yrs of ticket free driving*
    Insurance estimate turn out to be another car payment per month. It was not because of my driving, but because of the amount of accidents and thefts to that specific vehicle. As much as I lovrd the car, it was not a realistic and logical move... 😿😭

Question and hopefully you can reply before i set out to a dealer. i may have to build a RAM since the one i want is never local, they always tend to show up 1000 miles away. Does the dealer need to know my credit score or any monetary information to 'build' a truck on their computer? from your videos i learned to make the deal first and not say anything up front. I'm here to get a price on 'this' car, i'll let the finance guy know how i'm paying. But not sure if that applies to special orders.

    What's wrong with going to a car dealership and just wanting to look around? I can't ever seem to do that. As soon as I walk on the lot, the salepeople swarm me. How do you politely tell them to leave you alone and if you see something you like you will come find them? This doesn't waste the salesman's time and I don't feel pressured to make a decision.

    IN regards to #6. If you can agree on a price and cut them a check to hold the sale for a few days until you have more time...... Im not sure you cant get something done in 60 minutes. (assuming you have come previously and test drove a few vehicles and went home to do math and research a reasonable offer. ) If you can come back- agree on a price and have them get the paperwork ready for a few days later.

    Mike, your opinion, please. In March of this year we looked at 2 cars at a Kia Dealer. First, was 2019 Optima LX (Base) priced at $16,250 with 19,000 miles. They also had a 2017 Optima EX with every option available, 18,000 miles, off lease from Sun City Az. The 2017 was priced at $17,500.Loaded to the gills, but 2 years older. My contention was if they sold the 2017 for the same price as the 2019, we would take it home TODAY! They refused. Was my thinking right or wrong? (And no, you will not offend me in any manner with your response)
