Never Get Tricked By Used Car Dealers Again– (part One)
Amazingly, no matter what the customer wants, it is always ‘hot property’, ‘very sought after’ and/or ‘hard to find’. Moreover, it isn’t a secret; we have all known it for years. Nevertheless, some of us still continue to be tricked into buying a new or used we really don’t want to buy, and at a higher price than we expected. So let’s find out what some of the most favourite and sneaky used dealer tactics in the industry today and put them in our diary so we can refer to them when next buying a new car.
Car Dealer Tactic #1
Almost every new dealership will drop the initial price they have listed on a for sale. However, be wary of scams, pressure tactics, twists, and turns that salespeople have up their sleeves. It is in the showroom, when you are ready to finalise the deal, where you shall be worn down by these machinations if you don’t have your wits about you.
Car Dealer Tactic #2
Car dealers will never give a direct or exact quote. If they do, they know you will go to another dealer and have them better the price. If you do leave the dealership and tell the dealer you will ‘look around for other prices’, the dealer will most likely ask you to come back once the ‘best price’ has been obtained. Don’t be fooled by this because the dealer will then either match the price, or, worse, since you're back and apparently ready or even eager to take the car, they will increase the pricer slightly, knowing they've gained upperhand this time.
Smart and very familiar, this trick works very well for most dealers. It relies mainly on getting you, the customer, to feel obliged to buy the finally, since you have put the dealer to ‘so much trouble’.
Car Dealer Tactic #3
Smart dealers will urge you to commit to buy the you really want, even before you get the final price. This is irksome and exasperating for customers, but reasonable from a dealer’s point of view. Now your dealer has two choices: to give you a quote and watch you walk out the door, or entice you to negotiate. Perhaps you may be lucky when negotiating with the dealer; however, you may never know whether you have paid too much.
If you feel uncomfortable about a dealer, know that you can always back out of the negotiation, and find a new or used elsewhere.
Go online at consumer.vic.gov.au, for instance, where you can check if traders of cars and other vehicles in Victoria are licensed and have Licensed Motor Traders (LMCT) number. classifieds such as OzFreeOnline.com, offer thousands of used cars for sale, which can offer you the best price without the dealer commission.
Car Dealer Tactic #4
A dealer will make an expensive the “better choice” among two undesirable
ones. Most online classifieds online give a price which you can work with, but a regular trick from some dealers is identifying models that are ‘undesirable’. The problems are common and may be simple. For instance, ‘the manufacture date is very old’, ‘the has been in the showroom for a very long time’, perhaps they are ‘the least popular colour’ and of course ‘with no options’.
Next, the dealer will run a large advertising campaign based on these two cars, with the price ridiculously below cost. When the advertisement runs, the dealer waits for customers to flood through the doors. Of course, when they do arrive to get the best deal, they are usually told that the cars have been sold and are now waiting to be ‘delivered’ to the clients. Consequently, you will be invited to browse the showroom. And so, customers willingly but unknowingly switch to another car.
If the buyer still insists on looking at the vehicle, if it is still on the floor, the dealer just points out why this particular is undesirable, and then persuades the customer to look at a better car. Of course, the trick is to have the customer buy that “better” and pay more for it.
To make sure you do not pay too much, log in at any used classifieds sites like OzFreeOnline.com, where you just register, search for used cars Australia wide, and negotiate with the owners themselves. No showrooms or dealers to pay the added price of commissions anymore.
