Another day, another dollar, and some stories to share with you guys
Tale #1: Tundra Terror
>weekend starts off normal enough, get forwarded sales call about Toyota Tundra we have on lot
>answer call, it is woman calling to ask if we have the vehicle still available, which we do
>explains her husband is in market for a Tundra, and that they live about 3 hours away
>they are going to spend the next day looking at trucks, and will be working there way to dealerships farther and farther out if they don't find one
>her husband wants to know if he can put down a deposit to hold the truck, and if we would refund it if they end up buying one before they get to us
>we usually don't do refundable deposits, but we haven't had much interest in this truck, so I go ask a sales manager if they want to work something out
>we agree to take a $100 refundable deposit on the truck, provided they contact us within the next 24 hours about wanting to see it or not, to hold it for him
>figure they will probably never make it out to us, seeing as we were the absolute last stop, but hey who knows
>skip ahead to the next day, and my cell phone rings, and it's the wife again
>her tone already sounds....strained, over the phone
>she is calling to say they are on the way in to see truck, that they did in fact make it all the way out to us
>I tell them that's fine, I go run the truck through the car wash to blast the pollen off, and park it up next to the showroom for when they get there
>already, my bullshit detector is going off
>a Tundra isn't a hard truck to find, the only reason you drive out 3 hours in NC is because you are super picky, or tossing out of the ballpark lowball offers
>neither was something I was particularly in the mood to deal with
>god help me if it turned out to be both (foreshadowing alert)
>but just about a half hour later, I see a car pull up, and my customers get out

>>14841017
He seems to have a lot of detailed knowledge that your typical faggot would not possess.
yay!
>>14840959
Wait, so non-refundable deposits on cars are legal in NC? That's awesome. I'm in OH and it is illegal for us to do non-refundable deposits on cars, so people bail or demand their money back all the time.
>>14840959
>now at this point I should back up and tell you a little bit about the truck they are coming to look at
>it's a 4WD black, 4.7L Tundra double cab, no fancy options (cloth seats, regular radio, no fancy exterior add ons)
>now this particular truck books out to just under 32,000 on NADA
>We have it listed on our website and on the lot for 30,599
>anyway, back to the boomers
>the wife sounds even more agitated now than she did earlier
>husband want to go straight out to look at the truck, wife follows along with a class 5 scowl on her face
>so boomer husband immediately goes into nitpicking shit
>starts grumbling about every small scratch he sees.
>asks me to pull the truck out for him which I do
>using my watch I time him, he spends 19 minutes underneath the truck poking around
>fairly obvious after the first 90 seconds he has no idea what the fuck he's doing, or what to even look for
>finally gets out from under the truck, and asks to see the keys so he can turn it on
>give him keys, give him standard line I give to everyone regarding please keep it in park, if you wanna test drive it I have to pull it off the lot
>anyways, he cranks it, then proceeds to spend 11 minutes looking around the engine bay, then about another 10 inside the cab looking over every single dial and switch
>he asks his wife to get in, I assume to see what she thinks of the space, and proceeds to close the door and try and just drive the fuck off
>literally have to step in front of the truck and slap the hood to get him to stop
>he opens the the door and says "Well I am obviously going to want to drive it" line that's just fucking dripping with attitude
>again explain he can't drive it off the lot, and that I need to copy his Dl and get us a dealer plate
>again I get "do you really need to do that just for me to drive it?"
>even his fucking wife rolls her eyes

>this guy represents a special type of 'born in hell' customer to sales people (who usually, but not always are boomers)
>this customer gets the idea in his head about once every year that he wants a car
>he goes out, wastes a tremendous amount of time (both his and salespeople's) looking at cars, but never buys anything.
>the cycle can go on for years, hell, even decades. I've dealt with people who had been 'trying to buy' a certain car for over 10 years. It's straight insanity
>but my point being, I have dealt with this sort of turd burgler before, and at this point, I just want to minimize my lost time
>husband stays mostly quiet on the test drive, being a newer model Tundra, at has nothing wrong with it, so he doesn't even have anything to mumble about here

Gotta like these boomer stories
hey LPG, after you're done with your story can you tell me whats the average interest percentage on used cars in your area for someone that would get a top tier lender because of good credit?
>>14841149
>the MARY meme
Now that was a fun story.
Legitimately feel sorry for the wife being dragged around by her shithead husband.
I can't believe someone could be such a stickler and a jew at the same time... boomers I guess.

Same, my gf would actually fucking kill me if I pulled that shit.
I was waiting for an LPG to post this story
>selling shitbox for 500 dollars
>guy phones and asks if I can hold it for a week
>he says if it runs and moves he will pay the whole 500 no problem since I held the vehicle
>agree to it because interest in the vehicle was fairly low anyways
>week goes by and he shows up
>guys probably in his late 30s I think he might have been car shopping for a teenager
>rolls up in a brand new ram cummins all blacked out
>he looks pretty normal nothing to weird about him
>I'm actually confident this whole thing wasn't a trick or a waste of time
>let him test drive the shitbox
>he seems pleased
"So... I uhh only have 450 dollars"
>I nearly let myself get cucked, but then I thought about his 70,000 dollar pick up truck
>then it dawns on me that he claimed he would pay the whole 500 if I held it
>tell him I can only do 500
>he kind of gets weird and try's to hassle me about it
>claims he will go to the bank and be right back
>I live at least 10 minutes one way from any bank
>he shows up again 5 minutes later (probably just went around some blocks)
>he has 500 dollars now
>tell him it's not for sale anymore and he should honour his word when doing business with some one

Hell yeah, getting in the LPG thread early!

What's funny to me is when people get upset when their trucks get scratched. I understand a scratch by someone hitting it or keying it is upsetting but being upset about scratches around the bed and doors just makes me laugh.

>Me: "Oh, the price? well sir as I am sure you know that truck books out for about 32 grand, we have you out the door for 25, what is there to discuss??"
>>14841198
I'm having second thoughts now I'll be honest. I did get a little to high and mighty about it, but that guy clearly had 500 dollars with him, tried to get a deal still after making stipulations of paying a firm price. That 500 dollars isn't going to make or break me. I just kind of want to get rid of it.

>>14841250
Yep, when I bought my last car I showed up at the same time as another guy.
Car was listed at £800, other guy says he only has £700, I offer £750 and the other guy magics another £100 out of nowhere. I ended up buying it in the end for £700 cause the seller got really pissy at mr "oh I only have £700 except not really"

Running shitters regularly go well below €500.
>>14841212
Since he probably didn't buy it, it's safe to assume he is now going through 14 sellers every weekend yelling "SOMEONE OFFERED TO SELL IT IN SHOWROOM CONDITION FOR 25 GRAND"
>>14841147
ey bud why u gotta ban me
what ranjeet ever do 2 u
>>14841250
I've done it once because a friend I went with suggested I put 100 with him and say I only have 600 and I don't have 100 dollars still in my wallet when I give him the cash. I was young then and when I thought about how dumb it is to have to dig out more money after saying you only have so much I've opted for a better strategy. Have the money you roughly think you want to spend in a bank envelope and the difference of the full price in your wallet and actually haggle properly.
Say shit like "I can do 5 grand cash right now" instead of "I only have 5 grand"
>>14841217
Did he look into the top left corner of the A-Pillar and yell to himself about its acceleration? Or his mechanic doing it?

I just saw a PT Cruiser woody yesterday. I wanted to rip my own eyes out of their sockets.
>>14841254
Might wanna check mobile.de, there's much more cheap Twingos there. Also, there were quite a few reasons to sell it this cheap:
>brake hoses held up to the chassis with zipties
>broken rear bumper
>rust EVERYWHERE, chassis slowly breaking because of rust
>rusted and extremely loud exhaust
>16cm holes in doors after removing speakers
>leaking coolant
>low braking fluid
>stereo started fucking up
>>14841212
>he is back peddling HARD
>Him "Well, just, with the things I saw on the truck...I am prepared to make you an offer at 22 thousand"
>His wife literally can't even deal at this point and smacks him on the leg
>Her: That's the lowest offer you've gotten in a year!
>I am now watching a man drown on dry land
>Him: "Well...I'm just not sure it was the best deal I've seen"
>Me: "Sir, if you'd seen a better deal, you would have bought it, right? Surely you wouldn't have come three hours to see me
>Me: "The reason you're here is because you DIDN'T see a better deal. Now what do you say we look at the financing"
>at this point, his wife asks us to give them a minute to talk it over, so I duck out and slip into the next office to ease drop
>the wife literally lets him have it with both barrels, telling him that he's being to picky, and wasted too much time
>tells him that's the best price he's gotten in a year, and that if he doesn't buy this truck, that's it, she's done, she's not dragging along to another car lot
>he is throwing out every single excuse he can muster
>well he doesn't want to use our financing
>he hasn't called there bank yet
>he doesn't want to get his credit pulled
>wife is literally almost screaming at him, says she can't take it, and storms out to use the bathroom
>I then dip out of the other office to bump into her in the hallway, and ask how the conversation is going
>she repeats to me the rant I overheard her giving to him about how this IS the best offer he's got, and she's done with his bullshit if he doesn't take it
>while she goes into the bathroom, I swing back into the office and get back to business with him
>he asks me will I hold the car for a week while he checks with his bank
>tell him I will not, but that if he wants to refinance with his bank after buying, we'll absorb the interest for him
>I can literally see the two halves of his personality waging way inside his head
>he's literally sweating like he just ran 5 miles
>>14841250
It works on people who have no interest in what they're selling or really want the cash. If they're not super motivated like the original story it can backfire pretty hard.

This, like I said, you see this type of customer often enough that you can spot them a mile away after a while. He wouldn't have bought it if we'd offered it to him for 5 grand
>>14841323
Sold it. We basically wrote a buyers order for the break even price
>>14841327
we have a 2013 with the 4.7 sitting on our lot right now, and both edmunds and NADA list it as an option for that model year
>>14841355
4.6 dude
>>14841289
Worst one I've seen was about 6-7 months ago at a service station.
Two tone black and silver, red pinstriped with micra flecks though it that would have been about 8k worth of paint job (shitbox aside, it was really well done paint) and huge chrome wheels with the rolling mass of a small moon.
Curious as to what kind of creature would actually spend money on a heap of shit, I waited and did the pressure on my tyres.

please respond
>>14841154
>>14841431
more stories?
>>14841355
The 4.7 was the old cast-iron block. There is no 4.7 in a 2013. You guys are confusing it for the newer 4.6.
>>14841381
>>14841409
On a single car, about 3 grand, simply because we had 13K worth of margin in it, and surprisingly, that was a BMW M3. Couldn't tell you what the list vs sale was off the top of my head, would have to go in and look it up
>>14841449
Provided the car was newer with lower milage, you would expect between 1.9 up to about 5 percent

>>14841473
Make it up on other shit.
>>14841446
I have been "working" with this boomer who has a 1990 Camry wagon in and out of service at my dealership. He is an engineer of some kind that also happens to be totally broke and probably has shit credit. Every time he is in, he finds me and asks me for a quote on a Prius V. I basically did what LPG did and he still fumbles about needing to talk to the wife all the time. He likes to talk about car engineering and poses all these stupid questions that he probably knows the answer to just so it fluffs his own ego when he can have a conversation about hybrid drive systems. Now I just make excuses not to talk with him.

like I said, sold it, and possibly congratulated him on calling the bluff
>>14841483
I had a guy like this, except it was with higher end SUV's. Every time he'd come in he'd want a quote on some 40K+ plus SUV, and talk about how they needed something with air ride suspension because his wife had some medical condition

I'll take that $500 shitbox!
>>14842391
If you owe $5K less than your car's worth and can actually get what it's worth then you can roll that positive equity over to the new car, effectively making the loan for the new car in the amount of $17K +/- whatever fees and/or extra down payment you put on top.
It's not a bad move.
A bad move would be
>owe $20K
>car is worth $15K
>want new car that is $22K
>fuck it

How do I get a job in the finance dept?
Also, I'm looking to consolidate my credit cards using the equity in my car, know any financial institutions that will do this for me? So far I only know USAA, Wells Fargo, and American Christian Credit Union.
>Tell stories about idiots getting shtty financing

>>14843247
>How do I get a job in the finance dept?
Finance managers are usually all people who were extremely successful salespeople and advanced into the position, or people who had a strong financial background (former bank loan officers, brokers, ect)
>Also, I'm looking to consolidate my credit cards using the equity in my car
In what way? as in consolidated it into a title loan against your car?
>>14843259
where do you live?
>>14841572
>>14843273
>In what way?
I suppose a title loan, or like a cash-out refinance type deal. You know, letting them have title and lienholder as collateral so I can get a better rate.
BTW, is there a way for me to know what a car's value used to be? Like can I look up what the 2008 value was for a 2004 sentra, today?
>>14843310
I mean the easiest thing to do would be to see if a bank would offer you a personal loan with your car as the collateral for it. depending on the bank, they might not even make you hand over the title, but worst case, they would just hold it in a CD at the local branch.
However, provided your credit isn't total shit, and you aren't looking to like...spend years paying off this debt, why not just pull something like the capital one quicksilver card, where you have 16 or 24 months 0 APR? That way you could consolidate all the debt to one card, and pay no interest if you paid it off within the time frame, and you don't have to deal with tying up your car as equity?
As far as past value, none that I know of, although if you really needed to to get to a figure, you can use 15-20% depreciation per year, and work backwards to get a rough figure
>>14843354
I'll try to keep the question simple because I have no understanding of Credit.
What is the best way to build credit when it comes to buying a car?
a new car? used? financing a larger amount? making larger payments? making bigger payments than the minimum? paying it off years sooner than i should have??
Does anyone collect these? I pop in about once a month to check things out.

>>14843373
So first, you need to understand how they get your credit score. You might know this already, but just in case:
Payment History - 35%
-The most important component of your credit score looks at whether you can be trusted to repay money that is lent to you.
-Have you paid your bills on time for each and every account on your credit report?
-If you've paid late, how late were you - 30 days, 60 days, or 90+ days?
-Have any of your accounts gone to collections?
-Do you have any charge offs, debt settlements, bankruptcies, foreclosures, suits, wage attachments, liens or judgments against you?
Amounts Owed - 30%
-The second-most important thing: how much you owe. It looks at the following factors:
-How much of your total credit have you used? Less is better, but owing a little bit can be better than owing nothing at all. Lenders want to see that if you borrow money, you are responsible and financially stable enough to pay it back.
-How much do you owe on specific types of accounts, such as a mortgage, auto loans, credit cards and installment accounts? Credit scoring software likes to see that you have a mix of different types of credit
-How much do you owe in total, and how much do you owe compared to the original amount on installment accounts?
Length of Credit History - 15%
-How many years have you been using credit for? How old is your oldest account, and what is the average age of all your accounts?
New Credit - 10%
-Your score considers how many new accounts you have. It looks at how many new accounts you have applied for recently and when the last time you opened a new account was.
-If you've opened several new accounts recently, you could be a greater credit risk
Types of Credit In Use - 10%
The final factor is whether you have a mix of different types of credit, such as credit cards, store accounts, installment loans and mortgages. It also looks at how many total accounts you have.

I made the same offer when i bought my $500 car. Ended up paying the full 500 too.
It's just how buying cars works. Get used to it
Although i never made an offer before getting there. Just kept 50 in another pocket
>>14843397
shit sorry, that post was meant for >>14843399
>>14843399
It was. To circle back to your question:
You want to have a couple lines of credit in play before you go to a car loan. You don't want to borrow more than 40% of your maximum amount, you want to make payments on time, and have 6+ months of payment history behind the accounts
It's the ability to pay things on time and over a period of time that helps build the score. best places to start are with a standard credit card, and then a store credit account (like best buy or home depot)
>>14843373
Go apply man. sales jobs are all about having the gift of gab
so far as that car, the cash in hand method will work best. Always has the potential to backfire, but just take the actual amount in cash you want to pay, show up, show the cash, tell him you will make the deal today
>>14843366
>>14843399
And to the points you made earlier:
Paying early (before the statement date helps)
Paying more than the minimum (but not the entire balance) helps
You want to keep your credit utilization between 20-40%. Consistent activity with consitent payment history looks good
>>14843422
neat. you have any experience with the first gen S10 blazers? I am trying to avoid the second gen, I have heard they have horrible electrical problems. Also considering early nissan pathfinders (don't know anything about them if they are reliable or not) and Bronco IIs. I want a smaller suv for camping and DDing in colorado
>>14843445
With the first gen? No. My wife's old Blazer was a 96, and yes, that thing was nothing but a gigantic money pit
When we got it:
-ABS was fucked
-4WD was fucked
-AC was fucked
-suspension was fucked
-Every single vacuum line had rotted into oblivion
Add to that, it was a giant pain in the ass to work on

That is a thing a lot of people don't realize. With older cars, the bigger and more powerful the engine you stick in them makes them that much more of a hassle to actually drive. They can tear up the track and sound great, but they do not take to city driving at all. And that's not even touching the fuel economy of a massive carbureted V8.
A classic with a six or a four is the optimal one for DD'ing. Good to see someone remembers that.

I'd imagine that if you're staying close to your max it's going to look riskier than if you're using only a portion of your available balance and managing it properly. Something happens and suddenly you don't have enough to make your payment, or you need to spend more than normal on something and don't have the cash or available credit balance.

>tell them I can have a check for 13k plus financing for them in maybe an hour or two
>tells me it's not possible
>while driving home see a a Civic at another dealership decide to check out out
>auto 2012 with 50k miles for 13
>Vin check it and Catfax says it's fine and runs pretty well also
>offer 13k and financing throughy CU
>"let me speak to my manager"
>takes my offer and no qualms with my CU
>bring a check for 12k plus financing the next day and now own it
Not sure if I did the right call since I could've had a car with less miles and newer but so far I'm happy with my purchase.
Did I fuck up?

This is a cool story, and not in a "cool story bro" way.
>>14844533
>fiance

>want to fiance it through my credit union since I've been with the for a while
you should finance with whoever gives you the best rate. The dealership wanted you to finance with them as they get money on the deals the set up. So did you fuck up.. maybe you could have gotten a better deal letting them finance, but not that big of a fuck up.
>>14844533
Ye bought an automatic so yes you did fuck up
LPG! LPG!
>>14841059
Shut the fuck up heretic
>>14844533
>Settles for an auto
>Not so much cheaper you can swap it for the same price
Yes, you did fuck up.
I bought my Soarer for $3,700 and it's an auto. Same condition as $8k manuals, so i can swap it and be out ahead.

Poland. Gasoline costs somewhere around 4.2zł/liter now, meanwhile LPG costs 1.7zł/liter on average.
>>14844763
Does it vary from voivodeship to voivodeship?
>>14844771
Yes. Not only from voivodeship to voivodeship but city to city. I live in a city where the local fueljew oligopoly decided to have prices 0.15zł higher than 15-50km further.

NIGGERS NIGGERS NIGGERS!!!
I got a story where I knew more about the car than the fucking dealer
>Go to chevy dealer cause I want new 2016 camaro
>Man named Ali approaches me and I ask to test drive one
>He says I can only test drive the V6
>What ever, as we walk to the camaros outside we pass a camaro that I know for a fact is at least a 2013 if not older cause of the lights
>He insists it is a 2016 but it's clearly not and eventually he tells me om right
>So we go to the camaros and I step in Yada Yada motherfucker don't even have a key
>We go inside and chat
>I tell him I want a blue one with dual mode exhaust
>He insists that all SS camaros come standard with 4 pipes
>Once again I tell him that's wrong, that dual exhaust is an add on
>We debate this for 10 minutes and he decides to Google image a camaro ss, he pulls up a pic of one with dual exhaust and goes "see, it's standard"
>Ok Ali
>I tell him I want to register the car in a different state because the taxes are lower there and I have a house in that state so no problem he says
>I'm going to end up ordering the car so he goes in the back for something
>I go up to one of his bosses and ask about dual exhaust, he comes out just in time to hear his boss tell me it's not standard
>So we go back to his desk and I ask if there's a governor on the SS. He tells me all cars have a governor and the governor is set at 120
>I tell him that's not right because I have a 2015 camaro RS and I have taken it up to 150 and it's a v6
>He looks stumped
>So his boss comes up out of no where and tells me I can't register the car in the other state because my license is not from that state therefore I have to pay the tax of the state I'm in
>I tell him that's wrong, all I need is 2 things proving I own a house like a bill and deed.
>His boss tells me no, that is illegal and tells me my monthly payment in this state will be 550
>Are you fucking kidding me? Ali already said it would be no problem
>It's illegal
>>14845043
Continued
>I walk out and go to another dealer who tells me it's no problem to register it in a different state and that I don't need a license from that state
>He tells me my payments will be high 400s.
>Still sucks but hopefully the incentives are better when it comes in.
FUCK YOU FOR WASTING MY TIME ALI!!!!

>drive 3 hours to see it
>get there its absolutely pristine the cleanest used car i have ever seen there wasnt even any dust in the interior and only a couple of age marks
>Was sitting in a locked garage for 4 years only driven once a month or so
>Cosmetics where PERFECT
>Engine bay was a little dirty but its a 15 year old v8
>Offer him 4500 with rego
>He says nah mate i cant do rego take the week thats already on it and ill do it for 4k cash
>Done.mate
>Cars insured for over 8k
>Come back next day he literally detailed the exterior again

Nigga how do you have such a high rate in Canada? I'm from Canada too and my car loan is at 2.9%, which I consider a little high.
>>14843743
Can confirm. My 2000 Explorer 4L only had a few things over the years. Replaced IAC, some front suspension parts, and tensioner/belt. That's it.
>>14845186

>guy fucking rejects an 8k discount
Fucking boomers. Jesus christ.
>>14844533
That sounds like total BS, man. What kind of salesperson would turn down a sale because you wanted to do your own financing? Damn. Seems like a red flag to me.
>>14845496
The other dealership just wanted to make the commission off the financing, that's why they didn't want to take an outside check.
You occasional see this sort of contingent pricing at places, where the prices changes if you use outside financing, or they refuse to let you use outside financing at all. So much of the dealership's profit is on the back end, they use these tactics to ring out every dollar
>>14841331
Fucking idiot, a clean fox for 2600 and he walks away?

Que?
>>14841129
>>this guy represents a special type of 'born in hell' customer to sales people (who usually, but not always are boomers)
>>this customer gets the idea in his head about once every year that he wants a car
>>he goes out, wastes a tremendous amount of time (both his and salespeople's) looking at cars, but never buys anything.
>>the cycle can go on for years, hell, even decades. I've dealt with people who had been 'trying to buy' a certain car for over 10 years. It's straight insanity
mfw I realize this is me, I've been looking for a good truck for about two years now. I've probably looked at 12 different trucks. never bought any. I can just never pull the trigger on the sale. oh god i am scum
>>14845656
Hey Longposter, I got a hypothetical question I've been playing with for a long time.
I'm from Germany. At some point I'd like to fly to the USA, buy a cheap beater car somewhere on the east coast, then roadtrip across the US until I reach SF. Figuring I'd take one to three friends along for the ride. Then either sell it in SF or just chop chunks out of it for memo's sake and push it into the Pacific ocean surf. How would you suggest I go about this?
I obv. don't want the car to crap out on me midway through and I also don't want it to be so uncomfy that me and my mates end up murdering one another midway through due to being canned up for too long. But it's still gotta be cheap enough to be worth doing, otherwise I might as well rent a car for it.
Hands-on maintenance shouldn't be an issue since I'm an engineering student. Just tools and getting the parts would take up time that'd be a little annoying.
I was figuring, a large cargo van? Something liek a Sprinter or a Ford Transit with the high roofs and stretched body, or maybe go in multiple old trucks and pitch tents for sleeping in on the cargo bed? I can weld, I can rig a Sprinter into a crude RV by welding metal bunk beds into the back.
>>14845817
How many us dollars do you want to spend?
