Is anyone here a used car salesman?

My brothers car is making death rattles. Hes going for a used/warranty tundra/Tacoma/Ridgeline.

Charlotte nc area, but wed go a few hours to support a forum member.

I think most of us know too much about cars to be salespeople.

Exactly.

And i have 7 cars he can come get today, but that whole newish with a warranty thing....

Typically, about 3 or 4 times a year... I am a used car salesman. Unfortunately I'm a better buyer so they tend to accumulate.

I'll say this much - if he is looking for a Taco newer than '13 and planning to finance he might as well buy a new '17. The silly high used resale values versus the 0.9% rate at new makes it only a little more expensive and you get to be the 1st one to scratch it.

Tough, tough job. I would never call it a career. Unless you're Herb Chambers.

I used to be one. I never made any money at the dealership because I was too honest. I couldn't sleep at night using all of those scripted responses to make people open their wallets based on psychological triggers.

But, boy has that training come in handy when buying a car

I think many of us have enough car knowledge that we could help you out. No need to pad the wallet of a dealership lackey when we can help you for free. And its worth every penny.

He knows what he wants, what hes willing to pay, etc. Pretty much just need to find one and pay the man. We were just hoping to make the man a grm family member, instead of some random Guy.

Hes out at the Honda dealer in albemarle this morning looking at the jew Ridgeline.

Well that version should be a little cheaper I would think

In reply to Dusterbd13:

I'm assuming you meant "new" Ridgeline?

Freaking typing with thumbs....

Was supposed to say NEW Ridgeline.

'17 tacos start around 24k, while ridgelines start around 30k.

The majority of ridgelines I see at work are 40K+, so he might have an issue finding a stripper honda model.

WOW.

glad its his money. I have a hard time spending 2k....
