They snicker at the car salesmen as they walk past them to the fleet manager's office to complete the internet transaction.

Only dopes talk to car salesmen.

Dang....you guys are just too bright for us low life car salesmen! Oh, by the way....every dealership that I am familiar with, has a dedicated internet department. I did it for a while, but the national closing ratio is 5 to 8% vs 25% closing for lot traffic...so I went back to the floor. My average profit was higher in the internet. There are 2 types of internet shoppers. Price predators and "Looking for special vehicles". The first category, well you just move a common vehicle. The second category....they pay handsomely. Combine them...I had a high profit level.

To get promoted(?) to the internet department, you have to be a fairly polished veteran salesman.

Ooops, guess the cat's out of the bag....you HAVE been dealing with a salesman. Oh, and they get their pricing from me! ROFL ROFL

If you want to call an order-taker a salesman I guess. Nobody has to put up with car salesman bullshit anymore. They really serve no purpose at all. And BTW, when I buy a car, the dealer gets their pricing from me.

I'm important guys! I really am!!! Please? Somebody?

You tell youself what ever it takes to get you thru the night, Brock, but the "order taker" you emailed was a polished, veteran salesman. And he was good enough to get you to believe that you were in control, and that he wasn't a salesman.

Gee, and for the last what 80 years...customers BELIEVED the same thing when they made a "counter offer". Yep, you got us by the short hairs. ROFL

Sure....your dealer gets their pricing from you....... ROFL

I got a new / used car this weekend. I actually enjoyed it this time. I brought a friend of mine to do the haggling. Very cute bleach blond with 38 Double D's, wasn't wearing a braw.. well you get the picture. She used to be married to a car salesman so she knew all the tricks. That poor salesman was off balance from the moment we got out of the car. She would flirt, flirt, then drill him about the mark up etc.... She saved me over 3k.

Any other perks you get from that blonde?

What ever dude, like I need validation from you, I have just been explaining a misconception....my dealership sold 250 cars last month. Today is my day off, but I am here just to help out. You guys keep on thinking you don't need salesmen.

DAMN YOU!!! That is not fair! ;) Good move.

Uh huh...right. Does that mean he had an extra layer of brylcreem in his hair and an XL braided gold chain on? I got the deal I wanted, I don't really care whether you think the dealer came out ahead or not. The really nice thing about it is that I got a couple of these dealership cocksmokers bidding against each other, it was fun. It's also no wonder Ford and GM are sliding into oblivion with Dale Mercers of the world working for them.

Nice life there, tirekicker.

Hey fish, just curious, what do you do?

Question: Can you swing these deals with the internet deparment/fleet manager apart from dealing with any salespeople on used cars too? Anyone had any luck doing that?

If He didn't want them sheared, He wouldn't have made them sheep.

What does a salesman do for me?

I'm not saying you as a person are worthless to the human race or anything. I'm just saying, what is my motivation to talk to one? Their job is to get the most money out of me that they can. As a consumer, what is my motivation to want to work with one?

I deal pot.... some meth on occasion....

Why?
