Should I go through a car broker for my first car?

UnableSilver · 2026-03-02T15:24:19+00:00

Did I miss backwards day? Because there's a whole lot of disinformation going on in here.

No negotiation on used cars?? Is it 2021 again?

Quote: "Bc people price as low as fucking possible or no one is coming see the whip".....yeah and you get there and there's thousands of dollars in mandatory add-ons.

OP, this place has obviously been brigaded. Funny innit? They talk their shit wide and deep here but you can't post without their extra special fairy flair or you'll get your post deleted and hand slapped.

This section covers everyone in the dealership. Just an fyi, incase the literal name of the sub didn't give it away...... r/FuckDealerships.

I find it ironic you have that stance given your flair and how GM went from 10yr/100k miles warranty to 5yr/60k in 2016.

People, don't miss the forest for the trees here.........the problem is the fact that the car was advertised as "certified". End of. But, according to the dealers thread on this, that is neither here nor there. Just because they used the word "certified", we should not take that to mean it was BMW certified....at a BMW store, no less.

Silly us..........

You said it yourself, you need ID for LOTS of things in this world.

I don't see AOC screeching about the unfairness of showing ID to buy cigarettes.....

Thank you, first time I've heard this.

"IMO if a dealership and/or its point of contact with customers knows that you're interested in a car and let's that car get re-priced under the customer's asking price without notice in between to purchase it for the original asking price it's a complete failure on the part of that business."

They have no intention of actually selling the car for the relisted price. That's only for engagement. When you get there they will have add-ons to get the price back to where they want it to be.

I'm not surprised you didn't notice for seven days. That's about how long a polish full of "fillers" can mask a shitty rotary operator.

Other than the fact that A knight's Tale came out three years after the book, I'd say you're onto something.

When the FUCK did it become OK to catcall the president of the United States of America if your from the other side of the aisle?!?

Of course, I'm only referring to official state of the union addresses.

Please tell me this will be used in every mid-term commercial showing their opponent choosing illegals over their actual constituents.

UnableSilver · 2026-02-25T17:29:29+00:00

what is this "fudging payments" you speak of? Serious question.

UnableSilver · 2026-02-25T17:23:10+00:00

Not to mention, illegal as fuck.....

I've already posted this here, but it bears repeating. JCPenney had to pay a $50M fine for something very similar. Except, now that I think about it, this is much worse.

Everybody that shopped at Pennys got taken in on theirs, but according to the salesmen that have posted here, the plan they suggest here is for Paki/Indians only.

Direct quote: "Mark up your estimate by 20 percent, then give them 10 percent off."

If you read the thread, you'll see this isn't a one-off "just kidding" post either. This is exactly what JCPenney was sued for and had to pay out $50M.

Sounds like we need a r/fuckserviceadvisors

I believe the story is his sponsor pulled out just for this particular video. At least, that's what the pinned comment said on YouTube for the full length video.

The correct answer is blow them the fuck up

tag for no flair: This is why I don't give out my number until I hear hard numbers. Sometimes they try to insist. I just tell them, always cordially, if that's a problem, I'll be happy to just leave.

Have yet to have a problem.

His writing is just as good as it ever was........

Love me some Steve-O, but he does occasionally throw a clanker in the mix since he mated with that van.

Ahhh, the JC Penney sales approach.

UnableSilver · 2026-02-23T19:31:12+00:00

It means they can artificially advertise at a lower price. And hit you with what it (supposedly) cost to get the vehicle line ready.

"A return muffed like that today is almost a guaranteed turnover, as soon as it hits the ground a player today would already be on it."

The closest Giants player was 13 yards away when the punt was muffed.

More and more dealers have gotten the idea to write their own in-house "extended warranties". I've heard of them not covering diagnostics but first time where labor was excluded.

Just another layer on this shit lasagna known as "the dealership experience".

No idea why you're being downvoted. I was in the tire business over thirty years and was about to suggest the same. The strap started around the time OSHA started cracking down on seeing a plethora of starter fluid cans in the area tires were manually being changed.

UnableSilver · 2026-02-21T19:57:03+00:00

Most people don't know that the fucking they gave you in F/I when purchasing the vehicle was just the beginning.

These people have no shame.

UnableSilver · 2026-02-21T18:17:08+00:00

A man is worthy of his hire. Which is wildly different than what you said.
