After nearly 17 years in this business, my eyes are already pretty open. I have seen or heard about anything you can imagine. I did read where Burt said 'most' salesman are bad. I highly disagree. Most salespeople are good, regular people, you just have a couple bad apples that get the most attention. That being said, whether you are selling cars, or buying cars, remember the golden rule.

I guess I see bad as people who are looking to **** someone, dishonest people who get pleasure out of it. Those are much fewer.. and usually they produce, so they keep getting chances when they get busted or **** up. |

I'd say 50/50 split. I think there are a lot of fine people that get pressured into doing shitty things by shitty management/ownership.

I am sure he has mellowed over the years. One of the more interesting people from my past. I think I met him at Morse Chevy during his Porsche distruction era, Maybe a couple of dealers back. One of the best "used car guys" I ever met.
I wonder what a day is like as a Dick Smith Ford sales person under Tolbert.....

Isn't it an extremely common scam, that they contact you after the deal and say your "financing fell through" to try to convince you to come in and re-sign the deal at a higher rate?

I wasn't even aware you could close a deal and leave without financing essentially locked in.

It's common to put someone in a vehicle before financing is finalized. BUT it's ALWAYS communicated to the customer. Transparency is the key to good hones car sales.

This is a buyers order. But it's suspect to have the extra $$ there without a description. Your contract will have that amount AND what it is for. It has to by law.
