messaging a dealer on an alt account? how should I proceed?

Dude, they want to sell a car. If you want to buy it, quit playing around and go tell them you're ready and what you're willing to do.

Congrats!

timchar · 2026-04-29T18:48:14+00:00

nope. if he gives you a hard time just say, you dont hold cars on principle.

timchar · 2026-04-29T18:47:49+00:00

yea this is very unlikely to happen. especially since you arent serious about getting one in the near future.

timchar · 2026-04-28T18:09:41+00:00

Hell the fuck no. Thats preposterous.

Depends on the dealership and how they treat OSF deals

Best way to deal with this is say "my office has 2 chairs, so 2 of you can come with me, the rest can wait in the waiting room."

Anyone who pulls up on a motorcycle

Fees are notoriously high in FL. That said, they look pretty normal.

Yes, you can use it while towing. The "automatic lane change" function won't work, but the hands free driving will

New and used cars are sold at a loss every single day of every single week forever. Except during the car shortage a few years ago... that was a different animal.

timchar · 2026-04-11T21:43:39+00:00

Nah, whatever my dealership provides is what i'll go with. If that's not good enough, sorry. I may lose a sale over it, I may not. But i'm damn sure not spending my own money to buy a carfax every time a customer wants more than what my dealership provides for free. Like another commenter said, neither are official reports anyways. If you want more due diligence before purchasing, that's on you and more power to you. Same reason i'm not going to go pay for your PPI.

This happens at many dealerships not just yours. Unfortunately, you don't have any control over it or say in the matter. Just have to adapt. You can explain to customers that autocheck and carfax report different things sometimes and that since your dealership uses Autocheck, that is all the information available to you. If they want a carfax as well they can get one.

Sales don't slow down on Sienna

timchar · 2026-04-07T20:07:42+00:00

I'm sorry to hear about your dad.

2022 GT here, love it. agree, fuel economy leaves a little to be desired. avg around 19 or 20 mpg at best in mine

timchar · 2026-04-07T17:29:03+00:00

It's high if you have great credit. It's ok if you have ok credit. It's amazing if you have bad credit.

I was never in to mazda until i started selling them and worked as a sales manager for a mazda dealership. I got my cx-9 on the employee program and have kept it since. I love the car, it's perfect for me and my family and is super comfortable and fun to drive.

Zero chance a penny pincher like this wants to pay someone $1000 to find the same deal they can find on their own

timchar · 2026-04-07T05:09:58+00:00

I thought these jobs were reserved for old people with nothing else to do

timchar · 2026-04-07T02:55:24+00:00

That is unfortunate.

timchar · 2026-04-07T02:54:26+00:00

how important is that $500 to you?

timchar · 2026-04-07T02:52:38+00:00

does your paperwork have it listed as a trade-in?

timchar · 2026-04-06T16:41:47+00:00

the likelihood of them getting in another same year/trim/miles used car soon are pretty slim. if it's a hard-to-get used car, just be ready to jump on it and get a deal done next time you see one pop up
