Hey, Gang,

Check this out--It's what a writer hired by Edmunds.com to pose as a new car salesman for several months learned about the car biz. You might find it of interest.

 

Sorry, here's the link:

That was a good long read. There really were some interesting things in there.

I don't think I've ever seen a 4 square sheet. Its always been a really detailed computer spreadsheet printout.

wow....that was long
nice find

 

That was so long, heh... Was a good read though, and some parts made me laugh out loud

 

Thanks for linking that, definatly worth looking at.

 

nice find!

 

That basically sums up most sales jobs..I totally that the internet has a huge impact of buying cars and people shouldnt go into dealerships expecting to get cars at invoice. Salespeople have to eat also.

 

Definitely a good read... took me a while to read it but it was worth it

 

Invoice is just as made up a price as MSRP...

 

Car salesmen .
In reality, some are very good and straightforward. I had a great sales experience when I bought my Max.

 

That was a very good read...thanks for the link.

 

HAAA! Great story, I laughed my *** off. I sold cars at a dealership during college for a couple months, made 4K first month and $300 second month. What that guy wrote is all true. The 4 square method must be used everywhere. We called it the "heart attack" deal. If the customer didn't have a heart attack after the first round of inflated numbers, you probably had a sale.

In reality, it was probably the worst job I've ever had.
