Buying a car should be fun, but instead it can be a frustrating and stressful experience. Who hasn’t been helped by car salesmen or women who know nothing about the cars they are selling, pressured from multiple managers who try to add countless additional (and worthless) costly packages once you sit down to purchase a car, and pricing on cars that is so flexible the salesmen don’t honor advertised pricing unless you mention it. Dealerships need a major revamping.
For starters, salesmen should be salaried and tested to make sure they know everything about the car they are selling. Wouldn’t that be refreshing? A salesmen that could actually inform you about the car you are thinking of purchasing.
If when you sit down to purchase the car, you could do just that…purchase the car for the agreed upon price without being harassed to add on more ridiculous costly services to increase the final cost of the car. Packages for rustproofing, scotchguarding, clearcoating and over-priced extended warranties (which can be purchased later for a fraction of the cost the dealer is asking) are promoted as necessary for improving your car. Makes you wonder whether the car you are trying to buy is actually worth it.
And lastly, if a dealership advertises a vehicle for a sale price in the newspaper or online, they should be honorable enough to give that price to each and every customer who walks through the door. They don’t! So always check online for deals they are offering and print it out before walking into any dealership.
Car manufacturers should demand that dealerships represent and sell their vehicles in an accurate and professional arena. They would sell more cars and certainly would create a better car purchasing experience for their loyal customers.
