It's a game. I think some dealerships, in some areas, secretly set prices? Most of my vechicle purchases have been under stress--I need a car for my commute Monday. All the stereotypes in buying a vechicle are correct.
Personally, I stay away from dealerships, and used car lots.
The only time I ever got a good deal at a dealerships is when I walked into a dealership on Van Ness Ave. There were all the usual cast of characters(Sales personnel). They were all checking out my friend. Yes--she is attractive, but they were like Wolfs. We were both hung over, and she needed a car for Monday. She has 20 grand she could spend. I used to sell cars in college, so I kinda knew the game. I told her we need to split up.
While they were fawning over my friend, I overheard a small fight in the back. A disgruntled guy came out and walked right over to me and said, "I hate this fu--ing place. I moving to Oregon tomorrow with my girlfriend." I called my friend over. The $22,000 black Honda she was about to buy was dropped down to 15,000 out the door with the assistance of the disgruntled salesman. The car was stolen a month later.
She ended up paying $25,000 for the same car at a different dealership. I sometimes wonder if I was conned with the fight in the back room, but it was a good deal? And the guy should go into acting--if it was all set up?
(I miss you WH! I wish we were still friends! My email is on the Internet.)
