YAA Youtube/Podcast For Purchasing knowledge

[Winds of Change]

I recently discovered YAA on youtube. It took some time for the older guy to grow on me. However for people new to all things related to dealing with a new car purchase or a used car there is a ton of good information by them to be had. Everything from how to negotiate the Out the Door price to what to watch for in the finance office. I think alot of us here can learn a thing or two. Lets face it, It does not require much effort to get screwed by a car salesman/dealership. It does take work and knowledge to not get it in the shorts. And yes they are not all bad. but the odds are against them. lmao.

There is truth to that. I learned very young how the game is played. I go in (having researched) and I go in with what I will put down, and what I will accept as a payment.

I have purchased 6 vehicles in my life and don’t feel screwed at any point.

I have gotten to the exit and once to my existing car before they stopped me and gave me what I wanted.

I have never paid extra for warranty extension either.

A lot of people may not have your experiance or knowledge. Knowledge is power as they say. I am just trying to help some out. Based on some of the different threads I have read some can use their information. And who knows even a seasoned buyer may learn something. Today Is A Good Day.

I once got to the on-ramp for the interstate headed home before my phone rang. Most of these sales folks have seen it all. If they don't believe you are willing to walk they won't budge. I made sure they heard my wife and me talking about the vehicle we were going to look at the next day before we walked out.

The whole process of car buying is where cynicism is born and faith in humanity dies.

Yup. And in the end, if you researched well and give them the ability to make a reasonable profit, they will bite when you walk. Eventually.

unless it’s a funky market (hmmm) then it may not work with a jerk.

Dealers and salespeople prey on emotion. They can tell when you’ve made a decision to have something . When people come to a store, they already know what they want and generally have often have already made a decision..uh oh.

The best way to buy a a car is to purchase when you don’t need to. You are emotionally detached and able to use logic.

you need to set a budget. Most folks are purchasing on the top sliver of their buying power. They feel slighted and remorseful

*IF YOU CANT PAY CASH FOR IT, YOU SHOULDN‘T BUY IT.
*No body can take advantage of you unless you allow it

people act like there’s a gun to their head. All there really is, is ego. Their pride won’t let them walk away.
