- tim333 13y agoEven with fancy cars they tend to give you a crap deal on your trade in.
- s0rce 13y agoI've purchased a $60,000 BMW and they still tried to sell stupid crap.
- beachstartup 13y agodid they try to sell you, or did they try to sneak it into the contract without you knowing?
- smsm42 13y agoOnly logical - if you've got $60000 on BMW you've probably got more money to spend on stupid crap, so why not try to get it out of you? ;) They'll always try it, but the decent ones won't try it again after you say no.
- MrMan 13y agoYou are completely wrong. I go to the dealer and pay whatever they ask without haggling. They make a lot of money off of me. I am "sophisticated" theoretically but I get completely taken advantage of. Why is that?
- analog31 13y agoBuying a Toyota Scion a few years ago was great. They had fixed pricing and the options were all dealer-installed onto one of two base models containing either stick or automatic transmission. I told him I'd take one with no options, and he handed me the keys. The whole process took me roughly an hour. I suspect that fixed pricing is the appropriate pattern for the low end. Dickering over a few bucks just annoys the customer, and isn't worth the salesman's time. Plus, the dealer-installed options schtick allowed the dealer to maintain a very small inventory.
