It is not a tactic. We actually do leave if the dealer doesn't want to come down on price. No harm to anyone. We feel that we don't have to have that vehicle and won't be bent over like car salespeople like to do.
When I bought my truck, the Briggs people actually chased out after us and practically begged us to come back in and talk more. And they did give us what we felt was a good price. We settled for $250 more than what we originally offered. They settled for $3750 off the sticker price of $21,000. But you keep making fun of it.

Had a sales manager try to stand in a doorway to block me from leaving once after I told them I was leaving. It was Mike Steven Volkswagen in Wichita. I just grabbed him by the arms and moved him out of the way. Dude was shocked. I wonder how many people they've bullied into buying a car they didn't really want.

Either a customer works with me or they don't. I know there are other vehicles out there. "I know you can walk. No reason to play the game. Let's work on the numbers..not threaten each other." And the good salesmen don't "bend" a customer over. Unless she asks.. After the sale.. New cars/trucks are 0 profit. It's usually an exercise in how little you lose. Used vehicles MAY have a decent profit. But there is a reason why. We bought it way cheap, or..sometimes, it is a special vehicle. But no one will logically spend more for one here than they can buy else where. A deal has to make sense to all involved. And Briggs is an industry joke. Sent from my LM-X410(FG) using Tapatalk
