One disadvantage car buyers have is they go into a dealership ready to buy a car. Once it begins, it is easy for the salesman to suck them into doing things they would not normally do.
I used to work with a guy they called Beaver.... what a lovable goof.
One week end he took me out for 'fun'. I did not know what he was doing at the time when he went 'to buy a car' from a dealer.
The salesman followed us around like a puppy until Beaver spotted the one he was going to buy.
We went inside and they began to haggle. I don't know how long we were in there but just when the salesman handed him the pen to sign the deal, Beaver changed his mind.
'He really couldn't afford to buy a car'
After we left the lot, Beaver was giggling like a school girl. He then wanted to go to another dealer and do it again. While it was a bit of fun, I could not knowingly play that game again.
=============================
After being angry for the last couple of days, I just wondered if a coordinated mock car buying group would have any impact on a car dealer?
Think about it.. just in the middle of big car promotion, a team of mock car buyers randomly drifted into the lot ... and got salesmen's juices flowing, then one by one they all backed out, just before signing?
Once any salesman sold a car with a hidden flaw, the 'buyer' might say, are you the same xxx on this web page? I don't think I would trust buying a car from you.
Car salesmen are experienced at baiting a customer and using their word tricks to sell cars.
The teams of mock buyers would be easy to put together, but an individual could make their own mock buys from other dealers, for a little practice before they are ready to make the actual purchase they are planning.
With the social networking now available, little groups could make crook car dealers suffer more loses than they could make by deception.
Later I will set up a free Yahoo Group and people can see how creative they can be ... using LEGAL methods to engage crooks in used car sales.
Would any one actually do any of these things? Now I am just playing, what IF.... just fun things to imagine.
