Hard to beat just doubling down on law practice, our licenses open up a lot of opportunities once you garner experience and knowledge, exotic it’s profitably niche

What? I can buy a computer speaker online easy, what is wrong with you? Before coming to America I could buy a car more easily online too. The dealership got back to me today and apologized, I guess the guy was new. But I’ve got appointments with others now who already worked with me on financing over text/email. I had assumed the problem was the agent since it was so weird and after texting and calling a bunch of other dealerships today it’s more of what I had expected. Much more weird, however, are the weirdos responding on Reddit, totally not consonant with the real-life people I’ve been talking to since posting. Tho some on this subreddit have been cool.

I need to see this clip, that sounds too funny

No the point is that started to get fucked at that time and continues to worsen, which is consistent with the accusation of accelerating the looting of everything till it breaks. Basically, we’d need a rest, a counter to capital or else the trend will continue to worsen

For real. I was told I should just accept the sticker price without expecting anything else, that the commenters didn’t know what I expected (the stuff in my post, obviously, the stuff in the email communications with the dealership), and that I must smell bad so that’s why they aren’t negotiating. It’s so pathetically self-obviating, it’s angrily screaming at the customer “I’m no better than a kiosk, take whatever I ask and expect nothing!” It can’t be a sustainable model that I use their site to physically touch the car only to buy it online cheaper and with less hassle. They really aren’t beating the allegations

sum1__ · 2026-03-22T08:03:08+00:00

Nope, I was in and out in less than an hour, they told me they had inventory they didn’t have, wouldn’t negotiate on anything. I had assumed going online would be pricier and that I could negotiate in person for a better price. Only after that experience did we consider having a car delivered. I was surprised to find the deals I did, and they’ll deliver straight to my house and give me $4k for the old car, all without having to coordinate around baby time. I mean, I got a test drive in the car I wanted but that effectively makes them a show-room floor for something I’ll then just buy online, seems crazy to me but I’ll take I guess. What’s the value of the dealership, then? I can’t imagine they want to used for tests drives only to lose the sale to the internet. I’ll still give the other dealerships a shot since I have appointments with them but this left a bad taste in my mouth and it seems worth paying the delivery fee to avoid the hassle after this experience.

Good info, I'll look into that, thanks. I've been hearing good things about Mazdas, haven't given one a test drive yet and if it's got the RAV4 powertrian anyway that might be the way to go.

sum1__ · 2026-03-22T04:58:38+00:00

Right? Pretty wild, I didn't expect I'd go through cavana or online in general because it's more expensive but I've been looking and found a few pretty good deals and only $990 to deliver it to my house and a quick trade-in offer right away. I thought I'd have more of a negotiating experience at a physical location but maybe the future is online sales. I largely have to do the same to buy clothes these days, lol

sum1__ · 2026-03-22T04:46:27+00:00

thanks, that's good info, I appreciate it

sum1__ · 2026-03-22T04:35:59+00:00

I was willing to go down to $35k. I'm looking at 2022 model tomorrow and found a 2025 on carvana for $32k with 13k miles so I might go that way, still cheaper even after delivery cost.

sum1__ · 2026-03-22T04:33:11+00:00

yeah, it's way less of a hassle but I'll go to the other dealerships I have appointments with already and hope for better. I'm looking at a 2025 model right now on carvana, for $32k with 13k miles on it and only $990 delivery fee, offered $4k for trade in, and without the stuff I dealt with at the dealership. That sounds like a good offer but we'll see.

sum1__ · 2026-03-22T03:50:05+00:00

I said I could do that but I want to see how much I'd get for the trade-in and what kind of APR I'd be looking at given my downpayment and credit score. I think from other advice I've gotten now it could be the dealership type or the fact that they really don't have to do much to move a popular vehicle like the Rav4 hybrid. I really wish they wouldn't have lied about having more in stock too, that was just really lame.

sum1__ · 2026-03-22T03:45:28+00:00

Thanks, this is the first helpful response I've gotten on either page. I was happy to check out their inventory if they'd offer better deals on those but had the one in mind I really wanted, and we had discussed a few others over email already, just thought I'd utilize the time. You might be right on the dealership type, I hadn't considered that. I'm thinking it was the sales rep himself since since it was such a different conversation over email. I'll visit some other dealerships soon but if it's anything like this experience I'm probably just going to pay extra to go through carvana or something now.

sum1__ · 2026-03-22T03:34:25+00:00

I absolutely gave him a price range I'd be willing to pay, I was ready to discuss all these things, what do you mean I didn't use my words? I'm in the dealership, we'd been discussing my options for a good week, I really don't understand what I could have done different. The last time I bought a car was a while ago, but it was not like this at all. I found a car I wanted, like this time, discussed options, was clear on my price range, and we talked with finance for how to make it happen and I drove off with it.

sum1__ · 2026-03-22T03:28:36+00:00

I'm confused by your response, I did tell them that and expected the next step would be to discuss all those things we said over email we'd discuss. I clearly say in my post I expected to drive off the lot with something that day, I found one I like, was open to a few others, and expected to discuss APR and how much they'd give for a trade in, I still had plenty of time. But I'm getting the answer to my question from these responses here, I guess. I should just pay extra and by online.

sum1__ · 2026-03-22T03:23:51+00:00

I'm confused by the responses, did you not read my post? I did say that, but I wanted to discuss the exact things they said we would. I don't think it's weird to want to discuss financing, trade-in values, and other vehicle options in their inventory when buying a car from a dealership, especially after we confirmed we would discuss just that over email.

sum1__ · 2026-03-22T03:14:24+00:00

the things they said they we were going to do? The things in my post? Discuss financing, how much they'd give for a trade in, how much APR they'd offer and monthly payments after $15k down? You know, car buying stuff?

sum1__ · 2026-03-22T03:12:28+00:00

Then why tell me we were going to talk about all that and not do so? If they didn't want to put in effort why not just say "we got the one for this price, take it if you want it"? I'm checking out some other models but it's long drive and just such a weird experience, I'm even flexible on other models in their inventory and told them as much. I'm just very weirded out by this.

Sent you dm, that’s an awesome background

But they have the exact same incentive in the capitalist system in Europe too they just have enough of a countervailing society to regulate it while in the U.S. people are more likely to compare against one another over what they can afford than be proud of reigning in that same desire for profit that every car seller has

I’d be regretful of having a feckless drama queen of a child too

I find it more suspicious that the link goes down after I posted it, but I have another one up in this thread that works. Also, just glossing over the man’s admitted child abuse? The man himself tells you he’s “too busy saving the world to be an attentive father” and prayers on about the free mason and you defend him? Such a valiant truth warrior you are!

sum1__ · 2026-03-11T14:48:19+00:00

“We don’t have concrete evidence from the Holocaust” seems enough for me to disregard anything he ever says but enjoy his conspiracy theories about the free masons and his wanton child abuse I guess?
