[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Went to a dealership and the lying and upselling was too much for me.

Do you know of any dealerships that set a price and you take it or leave it?

I’d prefer a Toyota but will consider Nissan and Subaru. [/quote]

Do your research online and only go in to physically look st and test drive the car. Tell them: “am not buying a car today.” you can give them any reason:  “I’m bored and just want to test drive” “ I may buy one in 2-3 years” You can even lie and say you’re from out of town, you lost your job, you don’t have money, etc and they will not try to sell you. Honestly, if there are other people there they may try to not help you.

I’ve gone in and asked…. What can I tell them to make them understand that I am not buying a car today? on a random Tuesday, I’ve had people say they are bored themselves and will walk around with me with no pressure.

if you already know what car you want, Email (from a spam account) or call the dealerships to get their best price. Most dealerships havr a online representative that is responsible for answering questions and responding to inquiries on their website.

Some dealerships will work with you, that is if you tell them specifically that another dealership will give you a certain price, they may try to match it. Other dealerships will respond that they have no wiggle room.

That should be enough to get you past where you are. But if You can actually agree on the price And are comfortable with the actual vehicle, you can complete the entire transaction online.

This is especially great, because it doesn’t limit you to dealing with the dealerships in your immediate area. Especially if it’s a used car, you can get a more preferred color/mileage/year combo if you are comfortable with this, and can buy the car from States away. Depending on distance, some may charge you an extra $500-$1000 to deliver it to you, or you could buy a $50  one/way Spirit airlines ticket and go pick it up.

We got a GREAT deal on a 2yo SUV last year.  But also bought a 4-year-old Honda accord for my teen back in 2016 - and a lot of people thought we were crazy. But we knew the car and knew we wanted one, so called all the localish dealerships and just asked for their best price on a gray or white off-lease EX. We were paying cash, so it was super super simple; but I even think today even with financing you should be able to make it work.

Good luck, And welcome to 2024![/quote]
