The Car Salesman
Don’t you just love him?
There’s nothing more frustrating then browsing at a car dealership, minding your own business and then getting approached by the dreaded car salesman. It seems like nothing you say will get him to leave you alone.
Here are some funny one-liners from our overly aggressive friends that I think we can all relate to:
- Everybody pays this fee
- This car won’t be here tomorrow
- We’re losing our shirt on this deal
- You’re stealing food from my baby’s mouth
- The web sites you got the prices from are wrong
- The bank requires you to buy an extended warranty to get loan approval
It’s hard to know as a buyer if what that sales guy is saying is factual or not. This is why it’s extremely important that if you do decide to make a big purchase that you do your research!
There are many resources available to you, including this site where you can find the car warranty information you are looking for. Did you know you don’t have to buy your extended vehicle warranty from the car dealership? You can save a lot of money by buying it direct.
Once you do your research and know your facts, you’ll find that fighting off that pit-bull of a salesman won’t be so hard.

Good warranty advice. I have been in the Car Business for years. I don’t reccommend warranties from the dealer. I am still in the Car Buisness and put together a website at http://www.Smart-Car-Buying.com

I hate dealing with car salesman! I’d much rather just take my chances and buy a car through private sale.
I found you on yahoo while searching for automobile title loan. I just Stumble it on Thursday!
As with everything, you will make a better choice (money wise) if you do your own research.
About liners like these
This car won’t be here tomorrow
We’re losing our shirt on this deal
When a thing sounds to good, then probably it’s not, especially with car salesmen.
A good car salesman should leave these liners out and have a more neutral approach based on product facts(and of course exaggerate it a little).
Very useful information. It’s better to find the correct details about the vehicle before you buy it. Most of the salesmen gives us the idea that nothing can go wrong. But we are the ones who are going to buy the car and we are the ones who are going to pay for it. So it’s very important to find out the correct details before you buy a vehicle.
Thank you all for your excellent comments. It’s so important to do your homework on a new car.
@Dan – yes, we’re the ones who will be paying for that car for a long time to come!
As someone who has been in the motor trade for over 40 years I can unfortunatly only agree with you on how aggressive these sales guys can be.
The thing to remember though is its not usually their own fault, its more likely to be that of their managers and the pressures they are under to hit target.
Great post thanks
@cheap car tyers – thanks for your insight!
There are pros and cons about dealing with salesman. You got to learn to how to buy a car from them and what you need.. and the cons is.. you got them on your side bugging you to buy the car!
I totally agree with the car salesmen thing. Dealing with them can be really frustrating as I myself found out on more than one occasion, and really good advice on the warranty. Really useful. Thanks.
Great post. Normally I don;t listen to car salesmen. I go through reviews and I search whats best for me. Because salesmen will do anything to get there vehicles sold.
I still really want a new car after reading this.
This is one of the most informative sites that I have seen. Thanks for all the good info
I am an independent dealer and I don’t sell extended warranties yet, but some are worth it and some arn’t. Weigh out your options and know what you want before you buy. Don’t be talked into something your not sure if you want. You can ALWAYS add it later.
One trick I use is to look around the lot and find a color that isn’t available (whether I wanted it or not) and act upset if they dont have it.
Usually they’ll try to make you happy by giving you more money off to settle for a different color.
My response is usually: I am broke, wishing I could buy some gum, but I saw these nice shiny cars and couldnt resist. Or: I take the bus because cars are evil.
Truth is, if you know exactly what you want, you can simply send out a quote request to all the dealers in your area–but if you are using this approach, be sure you are committed to buying it within a certain time period (e.g. 3 days). No salesman needed. I hate car salesman.
The salesman has a job to do to!. Make some base decisions before you visit the dealerships, new car or used car check out the loan options available, research your finance costs. The automotive industry is just as competitive as the other market places you don’t have to be pushed by the dealer.
If you inform yourself, have some knowledge about what you actually are going to buy and what you want to buy then you will be in a better negotiation seat.
Don’t just visit one place and let the car dealers know that you are actively looking around for best options.
I guess this is going to become less actual because of the world financial depression, what do you think?
