Everyone knows that talking to a dealership is one of the worst parts in buying a new vehicle. What kind of experiences have you all had dealing with one? Would you say that one brand's dealership is worse than the others? My most recent one:
>looking at a new Civic Hatchback
>dealership has one
>go to talk on price
>nearly $3k in dealership add ons
>$1500 charge for a Lojack 3 year subscription
>tell dealer that I do not want it on my car
>they tell me that it was already installed in the engine and that they could not remove it
>brought down the price to $500
>walk
Looked it up online later, turns out it's just an accessory that plugs into the OBD port.

>thinking anyone on /o/ has bought their car new

it sucks but you basically have to walk back and forth between 3 different dealerships, making them haggle with each other instead of you, to get an ok deal on a new car.

>sorry we "lost" the second key so you only get one key (we could just cut you another one but we won't)
>we added flashing brake lights for $300 ($20 part and 15 min. labor for something you don't even want)

it's honestly a waste of time and a dumb model that still exists. you have them jewwing down the value of your car, so you haggle over that shit. then you have to haggle over the fucking price of the car you're tryiing to buy, and then you have to argue over the hidden addons they didn't tell you about until near the end of the discussion. you play some jew game of going back and forth with the manager for "hours". And then when you finally nail down a price for both, you get sent to the finance nigger who's trying to sell you warranties at +200% markup because of COURSE he gets a cut as well, whether you came in with your own financing or not you now have to haggle with this turbojew as well.
So fucking annoying. I'm shopping for a specific model car as well right now and just don't want to deal with it. I see a "deal" for $26k, 66k miles at a local dealer. They've lowered it by $2k since it's been on their lot for a month. What does this mean? It just means they're going to try and jew me on the trade in even harder or have hidden addons as we discuss price and then I've wasted hours talking to this retard. They're not going to let you get it inspected at a mechanic so you're still taking that risk you're buying something with minor problems...because the other big dealer near me is explicitly known for selling cars with problems and then when the customer complains, they take it back (minus documentation fees ~$1000) and just sell it to the next sucker and hope they don't notice. All of this has me coming extremely close to just buying from Carmax. It's a little more but there won't be any haggling on trade-in or price, I can get it inspected, 10-day buyback period no questions asked and if you buy their extended warranty it actually covers shit unlike assurant.
fuck dealerships. such an outdated stupid fucking model. I don't do this dog and pony show at gamestop or anytime I'm literally buying anything else in the world.

Not sure if it's any better now, but buying a GR Corolla in 2024 was like medieval dick surgery
>Dealership 5min away has one in the showroom
>go in, fully intending to buy it on the spot
>"premium" trim, so MSRP is about 42k. Fine let's go
>they bring out a deal sheet 45min later
>it's 54k out the door
>what
>yeah the paint protection's already installed so we can't take that off, we really strongly heavily recommend you get the USB cable because it's really good but we can take it off if you insist ($50), and the "market adjustment" is non-negotiable
>alright good luck with that
>wait let me get my manager
>guy comes out 30min later and explains in circles without taking a breath or leaving space to reply that they never ever ever sell a car without paint protection and that these are very hot in-demand cars right now and they can't afford to let it go for less than.... 48k
>OK that's nice
>walk
It was cheaper to find a dealer way out of state that would just sell it to me like a normal car, fly there, spend a weekend there, buy the car, and then drive it back than to sign anything with my local scum fuck shit sucker of a dealer

>>28521847
>$6k markup
The nerve of these rent seeking faggots who can’t get a real job

I bought a Cx5 for the wife during Covid so every dealer was low on supply. Got fucked with a $1800 surcharge for tint and other upcharged bullshit and did buy a $1k warranty (which isn’t that good looking at the terms, it just extends their bumper to bumper to 50k miles 5 years and adds a tire / windshield warranty). That said, the wife somehow popped 4 or 5 tires during the warranty period and they’ve completely replaced them no questions asked, no charge, each time due to the warranty so…

>>28521847
>we really strongly heavily recommend you get the USB cable because it's really good but we can take it off if you insist ($50)
It's insane you are spending 40-50k and they are haggling over $50

>>28521792 (OP)
Would rather haggle with a boomer over his first car that he kept for 50 years than spend 14 seconds talking to a salesman. No thanks, buy old.

>>28521992
>$0.60 per mile over 24,000
What the fuck were you driving? Even maserati only charges 30c/mile overage
Makes it cheaper to last on the shortest mileage, longest term, and blow through the total miles on the first year

From my experience at the dealership you have to just play dumb otherwise they will try and find any reason to avoid doing warranty work, which includes calling you a liar. Was getting wind noise in my car at 40+ mph, they had it for a few days and told me they couldn't replicate the issue. I went on identifix and printed out a tsb describing the exact issue I was having, and when I went to go get my car I immediately spoke to the service manager where we had a pissing contest accusing each other that we're full of shit. He got mad and insisted we went on a test drive, 5 minutes into the drive on the freeway it was as loud as could be. His attitude did a complete 180 and he was embarrassed, trying to hurry back to the dealership. Got my car back a few days later and they actually made the problem worse, brought it back in again and that time they actually fixed it. Which is funny, because they only had one more opportunity to fix it after that before I could legally lemon law the car.

>>28522104
big true. and the service advisor you get makes a looooot of difference. I've had some which will pretty much tell you to go pound sand until something breaks catastrophically. And others, I'm like yea this just doesn't feel right. Pulls up a somewhat related TSB calling for an entire clutch job and just gets it done without pressing me. Shit, and once my A/c just wasn't working well. Retard just gives it a charge. Later found out there's TWO tsb's: condensers are failing and AC compressor seals are failing, replace them both. Next service advisor who I talk to after complaining about the A/C 6 months later immediately jumps on it and gets it fixed instead of just band-aids.

>>28522134
Being at the absolute mercy of a random service advisor is why I avoid buying new cars.

>>28521792 (OP)
I had this recently
>go in to test drive a car
>am clear upfront that I'm not buying today
>salesman takes my ID "to scan"
>go on test drive; fine, but need to test others
>end test drive
>go back to get my ID
>"sorry Anon the scanner is broken, I'll have to have you stay here for a bit before I can give you your ID back"
>sales manager comes over
>starts hard-selling me on the car and buying today
>I ask for my ID, say I have an appointment to keep
>salesman says he still has to scan it
>sales manager looks at him and tells him to give me back my ID
Ended up buying a different vehicle from the same dealership, and that involved walking out twice more to get the price I wanted. Weird experience--if any of you are in Chicago I don't recommend Murgado (though they did eventually cave on price, so if you're willing to deal with the bullshit you can get a good deal).

>>28522443
I notice some dealerships did something similar to me, but instead of the ID, it was with my keys because I was considering trading my vehicle in. Sales manager came out and tried to push really hard on a Honda Accord I was looking at.
Like you, I wasn't ready to buy and needed to test drive more, so I had to say no about three times before they backed down.
>>28521832
Not to shill for Carmax, but it's a great place to just go and sit in a bunch of different vehicles if you want to see just how you fit. All the cars in the lot are unlocked and there's no salesman to follow you around.

>>28522018
>Makes it cheaper to last on the shortest mileage,
What does this even mean? I am way, way over my mileage and I have to return the car next year. What do?

>>28522577
Whoops, was using swipe to type at work and intended to say cheaper to lease on the shortest mileage, since lease terms frequently are more expensive per mile than the overage penalties. Pick a duration and drive the wheels off, and as long as you set aside money for the extra miles you usually come out better off

>>28521978
>are you happy with it?
absolutely yes. I needed something with enough space for one kid and all of the oversized accoutrements like a stroller, car seat etc without giving up on owning a fun car. the stuff I don't like comes from it being a new model, like always-on infotainment, excessive safety features beeping, and Toyota always watching me. It's also not as much of a raw (buzzword) "driver's car" as I expected. The steering is very smoothed-out and the pedals are almost like a simulator. However, iMT is neat (auto blips on downshifts) and it sounds like the turbo vape wagon Subaru refuses to sell me in the current year so I like it.
>is it worth 42k
on average, new cars are just this expensive now. If I took the same budget and compared it to other models, I'd still pick this one

>>28522615
always liked those. nta but I have a fk8 civic type r. good for the kid. but my lower back...Idk I think I tweaked it bad or it was an accumulation of stress and now I'm seriously second guessing whether this car is worth it :( as much fun as it is, it is mostly a daily driver and I'm hesitant to use it when taking the kid and wife out since I hate scraping and it's just less convenient. so either I keep it for a boring traffic daily drive or just buy an small ish SUV...which I'll probably do. and some day buy a second car just for fun ig.
take care of your back, bros.

>>28521792 (OP)
Damn you brought the price of a Civic Hatchback to 500$ and still walked?

>>28522134
It depends on the pay plan at the dealer desu, don't blame the advisor blame the greedy dealership that collects money on warranty work and doesn't pay the advisor for it. I get paid on any warranty work no matter what so I go the extra mile to figure shit out. Weather-stripping peeled in the corner? no problem I'll order a new one. Hatch stays that squeak? sure thing they'll be here tomorrow etc. Most advisors just want to fix whatever is wrong with your car but a million factors can effect the outcome. I had a tech diagnose a lean code as an oxygen sensor without even testing the fuel pressure first even though I told the faggot the car died on the service drive and wouldn't start the day before and asked him several times if he tested fuel pressure. "Oh no there's a TSB for the o2 sensor on this car that's gotta be the problem." Fine nigger, I sell the guy on the job and he comes back the next day with the same issue. Tech finally does a fuel pressure test and the fucking pump is bad.

And that's how I got a new WRX for 26k out the door at 1.88%.
That same WRX later blew its engine around 5,000 miles and the dealer bought it back giving me a discount on a 2020.

>8% interest rate with a 845 credit score.
how old is the car? over 5 years? what duration loan?

You just gotta prepare. Know what you can afford, know what the car is selling for, know what kind of rate you can get outside of the dealership.

Spent 9 hours patiently rejecting offers to buy my wife a 2025 Palisade a few weeks ago.

Went in a list of Needs and Wants. Had firm numbers in mind that I wouldn't go over. Had to have AWD, couldn't be that ugly ass bright Grey or Red, etc.

Started low on what I'd pay, went back and forth rejecting their numbers.

Argued over my trade-in. Bought it new at same dealership 5 years ago. All maintenance done by dealership under warranty, used seat covers and all that. Leaned on that and that I was a potential returning customer.

Typical tactics, try to get me in a lower priced model, less features, make me wait forever, etc. I had the day off, it was a weekday so they weren't busy.

At hour 8, I had my wife get up and leave. I started openly browsing inventory at dealerships nearby.

They came back meeting my numbers within 10 minutes.

Finance guy tried to add a bunch of stuff on. I stood up and thanked him for his time. He quit and he drew up the paperwork as agreed.

You just gotta be prepared and firm. It sucks, and they're going to make their money. But you can and should pay as little as possible.

Just be smart, do your research, hold your ground. If you can't land on a car within your budget, leave.

>>28523384
If you mean like going through carvana, carmax or tesla, then yes it's easier. It's basically like buying anything else on the internet, but with some documents to sign electronically. Buying from home from a dealership is just as hit or miss as it is buying from a dealership in person.

This shit basically made me swear to never buy a Mazda unless I'm desperate for some shitbox hatchback if I ever become broke. No wonder people prefer getting fucked by Toyota and Honda instead, at least their cars aren't rustbucket Mexican shit half the time.

19-21k euros for mazda 3(2020-2022 models) in my country

I have bought 4 new cars with leases and loans from 4 different manufacturers and they're all shit. Though, some are worse than others.
Here's my list from best to worst.
1. Honda (24 Honda Prologue)
I went with the wife to get a car for her, but still a compromise. She wanted an hr-v, I wanted her to have a Prologue because EV rebates and sickass lease deals. Drive the CR-V hybrid while we're there. Sales guy does the usual vetting of "what do you do for a living" in the car and shit. But he's pretty chill. We talk it over and leave to weigh up options. Cool. Come back for the Prologue and they have it marked down $13k, with the lease incentive already in. Finance guy jokes about how much of a steal it was as we're talking numbers. Was a pretty chill experience.
2. Lexus
I impulse leased an IS350. Walked into the dealer, test drove it, loved it, did the paperwork on Dec 31, 2021. Dude was chill, but was ready to leave. Paperwork took ages. The sales manager came out and we shot the shit about planes. Nice, but heartless. Service lane was cool, but 2hrs away.
3. Toyota
Before I bought the Hyundai (more on that in a bit), I looked at a Tacoma in Feb of 2020. I kick myself for not buying it, but boy that was a piece of shit. I think it was some terrible spec, it was dogshit. The lady was nice enough and I walked away. March of 24 comes around and we're needing a truck. I end up taking the wife and leasing a Tundra. It's pretty nice, way nicer than the tacos at the time (pre redesign). Engine issues already sorted out, SR-5 optioned out pretty well. Again, more boring paperwork (why does it take 2 hours to put deals together, ffs?). Nothing remarkable, but nothing I was wowed over either.
4. Hyundai
Far and away the worst. Full sales theater. Sales manager yelling about trying to save us money. Service lane tried to tell us we needed an alignment by handing us an alignment result from not our car. Unreal, never again.

>>28527351
I actually spoke to someone recently IRL who had an almost identical issue as you. It was their primary mode of transportation and they ended up having to take Ubers while the dealership did god knows what. I'm sure you're doing something similar, but I recall him saying that eventually he just starting pestering them enough with phone calls and in person visits to where the bike got fixed.

>>28527410
I can see something similar happening with these "lifetime" powertrain warranties that dealerships offer, especially if you don't follow the manual to a T. Some of the maintenance imo can be kind of excessive anyway, like I've seen some manuals recommend changing the brake fluid and coolant at 30k intervals on NPC cars.

>want to buy a used car
>thinking the dealership will tell me to go fuck myself if I want a pre-purchase inspection
how the fuck do you win in this situation? the extended warranty they sell isn't worth the paper it's printed on (assurant and the like). Looking at ~2016's with 60k miles, lexus/toyota. Do I just risk it and hope to not get fucked? Or pay one of those mobile mechanics who probably won't be able to lift it or jack it up and just give it a look at for $150 to find any obvious signs of a wreck and read the codes / last time the DTCs were reset?

>>28529108

>>28529119
I'll see what they tell me. At least this dealer isn't filled with reviews of bad experiences. The name brand lexus dealer near me had multiple complaining that they sell junk cars and tell people after buying it "ya we'll take it back and just sell it to the next guy if it has problems". Fucking scumbags.

>customer is supposed to trust you when you tell them to sign something.
Are you a fucking toddler? That is YOUR responsibility to understand what you are signing. A car is a major purchase and you should read everything single word from top to bottom. If you don't understand something, make the sales manager explain it to install full, or bring someone to double check the paperwork with you.

I've bought close to a dozen cars without issue, sometimes you have to play dumb to take advantage of the situation. Read the post again, they fucked up on the backend after I signed while calculating the trade in value by using gross value and not net value.

>WE committed fraud
But you didn't, you signed the contract presented to you. It is their responsibility to give you the contract they want you to sign. You both entered and recorded a bonding legal contract with specific numbers, and if that doesn't work on their end then that's their problem.
You did them a huge favor and their initial presentation of their fuckup as you committing fraud would have had me lawyering up and drafting a letter to the state AG in case there was anything off at registration

I started working at a dealership in sales. I'm pretty clueless. What should I know /o/?
I haven't even sold a car yet.

They ask me to fill up shit all the time and I'm terrified of getting into any accident since I'm 100% liable. Anything can happen, and the dealership doesn't have my back.

>made me swear to never buy a Mazda
What in the world does one salesman have to do with the Mazda car brand, if you're going to hate an entire brand then at least hate it for a good reason.

Went to the service center for a new car key.
The key they milled was of lesser quality than the spare key made at the key store, as it got stuck in the car door before I left.
I guess this is why they don't use keys for cars anymore.

I keep calling but my bike still is not fixed

Was shopping for an 86 back in 2023. Looking at used prices, I realized it was only like 7k more to buy one brand new vs one that had 60k miles.

Ended up reaching out to 4 dealerships, and found one that was 2 hours away that was willing to put me on a wait list (Was 5th or 6th in line, if what I was told was correct). Told the sales guy "I'm paying MSRP, and I'm paying cash."

Got a call they had a white one allocated (6MT), I had them remove a few port installed accessories since it hadn't even reached port.

There was a goof up where I was going to buy and pay for it on Saturday, but they couldn't get me the key due to someone locking it up for the weekend (Still don't know what the goal for that was, I wasn't skilled on anything).

Paid cash for MSRP, got a laugh telling the salesman that the car takes 93 octane and not 83, and learned to drive stick on the way home.

Always been a fan of muscle cars, but never driven one. Buddy get's a Mustang GT with the coyote engine. Immediately fall in love with the V8 coupled with the manual transmission. Prefer the aesthetics to Challengers. Find a dealer nearby that has a Challenger w/ V8 and manual transmission. Explain to him that the ONLY thing I care about is that it's a Challenger, mileage on the vehicle, V8, and manual transmission. Don't give a shit about ANYTHING else. Fuck the rims, fuck the electronics package, sound system, anything. Only want to go fast and change gears myself. Go for the test drive, salesman constantly is trying to sell me on other things, continue to tell him that I do not give a shit about any of that.
>Muh classic package
>Muh rare green paint job
>Muh upgraded sound system
Drive the car, wasn't really impressed compared with the Mustang. Drove much more like a boat, which is expected, but just didn't really compare with the Mustang. Get back to the dealership, clearly not ready to make a move, let them know I was underwhelmed when compared to the Mustang(at the Dodge dealership). Held my keys hostage for like 20 minutes till the sales manager realized that I wasn't budging.

Called me back two days later, "Hey anon, you were in here on Saturday and you were really interested in...uhh...a car..." Didn't even remember what vehicle I wanted, fucking retard. Still haven't bought a new car since and that was in like 2014, lol.

Bought a 2006 year Octavia in December and i was supposed to get it day before christmas but dealership accidentally sent paperwork to another dealership so when i finally got it, 2007 had arrived and it got registered as 2007 car.
