I spend alot of time helping people on this forum and in the yard, and no its not for profit, I have only sold one vehicle to a Forum member since I have been active here. Would you like it if people came into your place of business and called you a liar and told you that just because you could charge less for what you do, you are ripping people off? People like this are why I'm about to leave the industry...Didn't mean to offend. I'd imagine the fact that your seemingly a very decent person tells me your in the wrong line of work. A successful salesman is not an honest/trustworthy one. Statistics prove my point regarding real estate agents/car salesman. Unfortunate as it is, these jobs rely on commission to pull a good salary... the buyer suffers for it. + Anyone who is negotiable when it comes to $$$ is always the enemy. Don't tell me the "ah, got a live one here!" siren doesn't go off in your head when a bunny walks in the door willing to pay full price without negotiation.

But the analogy of soemone who walks in and does not negotiate is either weak and stupid or is happy to pay the price as advertised. Neither is the salesmans fault.Scotty Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Still, it doesn't change the idea that the salesman will cease to assist the customer financially with the sale... knowing they've sold many of the same car for significantly lower prices to other customers. Sorry but my experiences(many) have been rarely positive with car salesman. I've been lied to on many occasions. To be honest a lot of the time the lies are probablyunintentional... with incompetence the likely offender. Of course this is a generalisation, I'm not branding all of them incompetent. The industry culture isn't a good one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

stang Donating Members 1,353 Member For: 20y 2m 30d Location: Melbourne Posted 08/07/09 05:53 AM Share Posted 08/07/09 05:53 AM Been in sales past 20 years, yes there is your salesperson that would sell his mother to make a buck and bullsh*t to make the sale or there is your sales person that will sell you on the benefits of the product your wanting to buy and give you damm good advice(his opinionon what he has learnt about the product) in most cases this leads to repeat business which is better than lying screwing your customer and only selling one thing to them.Not all sales people are the same some will go the extra mile others will be smart arses, the samein any profession. that's why when you buy from someone there character is important then their product knowledge,because if they don`t know someone they can always ask somebody who does.

nowaford Member 10 Member For: 15y 7m 22d Gender: Male Location: melbourne Posted 08/07/09 10:37 AM Share Posted 08/07/09 10:37 AM I know what your saying there Senna, I also work at a dealership and have had for the last 16 yrs. The best comeback line I ever heard was when a farmer called the DP "a typical car salesman thief" he replied "are all farmers cattle duffers?", the stupid *beep* didnt know what to say.GregHey Greg, We are not cattle duffers just generations of family trying to make a living and unfortunatly some of us are losing, And some of us purchase your cars, U guys are all warming with coffees and warranties but when it comes to the crunch when the sale is made it's tuff titties from then on. As for your slander of a fellow farmer I am inclined to show my neigbours this and word will spread from there and I think it is time a current affair had a yak with FORD to find out why a fellow farmer was asked if he was a cattle duffer, Then be called a stupid "beep" by someone in the game for 16 years...Waiting your reply and be careful....
