Car Dealers’ ‘Waiting Game’ Exposed

Ever been left hanging at a car dealership for ages? Turns out, it’s not just bad service—it’s a sneaky sales tactic called the ‘waiting game.’ Salespeople leave you alone, hoping you’ll get so bored or impatient that you’ll just say yes to a pricier deal. Pro tip: Next time, call another dealership right from the showroom or start walking out. Watch how fast they move! Anyone else fallen for this trick? #Cars #CarBuyingTips #DealershipHacks

I tell the sales person, you can go to your manager ONCE to get me your best price and if insufficient discount. I stand up and walk. before I learned this I had to endure numerous duscusions back and forth between salesman and sales manager. and they were probably talking about the weather. The disrespect you endure as a woman during the car buying experience is mind boggling

Crooks. Always have been and always will. The stories I could tell being in the car business for 25 years.

I'm in car sales, for 35 years. we're a one price store. If you walk, it's because you didn't think the car was the best fit for you. Not because of so-called tricks lol. This isn't the 80's get real...

I bought my last car direct from the manufacturer. I'll never buy another vehicle from a dealership again. No haggling over price and no waiting hours for them to "talk to the manager"

It's your money, never answer the questions, tell them, you have 3 chances to make the deal. Do the research prior, know what you want to spend, don't cave to the payment game and don't be afraid to walk out if they don't hit the number you want after try 3, remember, its your money, you worked for it.

Why does the salesman always insist that the customer is required to pay for document preparation charges? The next time they tell me that is required by law, I'm walking

Walking out works. Let them know the car you’re looking at is a “want” not a “must have”. Don’t fall for “you better buy it before someone else does “.
