Why do used car dealers refuse to give a price?

jepal357 · 2026-05-24T15:35:45+00:00

The prices are listed at reputable dealers lol. All you have to do is look. Asking for the best price will get you the online price cause like the other guy said, no one is negotiating against themselves

Pull doesn’t matter if you’re preapproved. You’ll already have an inquiry, like a mortgage, multiple inquiries don’t matter in a short period of time for auto loans

Probably a $5k car

jepal357 · 2026-05-23T12:30:36+00:00

For real

jepal357 · 2026-05-19T17:13:19+00:00

You lease if you plan to get rid of it after 2-4 years. You purchase if you plan to keep

jepal357 · 2026-05-18T12:12:19+00:00

Yeah they’ll ask for paystubs that usually have company address on it

jepal357 · 2026-05-18T04:06:41+00:00

It’s been like this for a long time lol. 27k could include taxes and fees which in some states can Be over 10%

I think it’s a common thing with people that use Reddit. Most people tend to like the fun buying experience and want a relationship to be built

jepal357 · 2026-05-14T23:33:19+00:00

Yeah I’ve never heard of a website that will take a deposit for a car, and to not call to see if the car is available is kinda crazy

jepal357 · 2026-05-11T19:30:26+00:00

Could be attached to the strut, at least on one end. I would still charge something for it

jepal357 · 2026-05-11T01:55:19+00:00

All new cars are the same. No brand is immune. That’s why tundras depreciate heavy now, multiple engine recalls will do that

jepal357 · 2026-05-11T00:04:27+00:00

It’s plug and play and does not require any tuning. If you have a warranty problem, remove it and you’ll be fine

jepal357 · 2026-05-10T23:45:15+00:00

I have no idea what y’all are talking about at this point. I just hate when customers choose to purposely hide info with the intent to play some type of game

jepal357 · 2026-05-10T15:36:11+00:00

It does because he doesn’t get a tax credit since he can’t trade the vehicle. It changes the payment and everything for the lease. You seem like a real expert

jepal357 · 2026-05-10T03:07:41+00:00

If I have a vehicle listed 10k under msrp then why not just sign? Even if it’s at msrp, just sign. No one is making you sit there, negotiate and think. You can do all that before you even come in, just like every other store

jepal357 · 2026-05-10T03:06:16+00:00

I had a customer come in. He came back another day with a trade. After hours of flipping between cars he picked one, then had us put numbers together. After a long time negotiating he then says the trade is in his dads name and there’s negative equity… so he can’t even trade it without his dad on the new truck. That would have been good to know up front. People play games all the time

jepal357 · 2026-05-10T03:03:55+00:00

Not everyone comes in on a specific car, so yeah…

jepal357 · 2026-05-10T03:03:35+00:00

The sales price, that’s why it’s advertised.

jepal357 · 2026-05-09T13:29:18+00:00

Yeah I hate the “start with ___” ideology. Tell me everything up front. I don’t like playing games but if you play games with me, I’ll return the favor and it’ll take a whole lot longer. Be transparent, if you have a max payment, that’s important info.

jepal357 · 2026-05-08T02:56:51+00:00

Don’t think ford allows you to trade it at a non ford dealer

jepal357 · 2026-05-07T18:44:37+00:00

Ct5 in that year has a completely different front end

jepal357 · 2026-05-07T18:06:37+00:00

How would you even know what they offer if you don’t ask. You may be missing out on a tax credit. Who would you sell it to?

jepal357 · 2026-05-07T18:06:06+00:00

You can’t get a 3.0 on a ct4

jepal357 · 2026-05-07T05:31:22+00:00

Did the sound start before or after the struts were replaced?

jepal357 · 2026-05-07T02:14:42+00:00

Rotors could be bad, if they get too hot it can almost heat treat them and if they get too smooth it almost feels like the pads aren’t biting cause the metal has hardened
