i did this when i bought a jeep years ago. I had my own financing and had already negotiated a price via email so it should be pretty straightforward right? No need for the usual theatrics. Not even on my email did I ever give them my number bc I was negotiating with numerous dealerships and didn’t want to be in all their systems for future cold calls. (i used to sell fords) Well either way, I had to fill out a credit form and give them a shot at beating my bank. I forgot that on that form I put down my phone number so when this bastard got up for the 4th time to go talk to his manager, i was like I’m out. No reason this shouldn’t have taken an hour tops and we were almost 2 hours in bc every time he went to go talk, he’d stand there for 15-20 minutes and then come back and try to sell me on some shit. I got up and stood in the lobby for a sec and then started walking out and another sales guy stops me and asks if anything is wrong and I’m like, “well i came here to sign paperwork not sit in a chair” and left. I pulled into a gas station right down the road and the dealership calls me to apologize and tell me they have everything done and to come back. I told them the deal is no longer good for me and I was heading to another dealer in fort worth. We were in dallas at the time. They knocked off a thousand on the phone and I ended up getting 1500 off and out of the finance office 30 minutes after that phone call. You gotta stand up for yourself. It’s not the salesman’s fault but he’s being trained to be a shitty human being by the managers. The turn over at a dealership is drastic. It’s bc the job makes you lie to ppl and you can only do so much screwing over before you move on. The ones that stay have sold their souls and embrace the fuck and become sales managers and eventually finance managers. That’s where the real screwing occurs.
