You know I’m kind of enjoying learning about the auto dealing business 🚘️

People don’t like the scammy tactics of automobile dealers, but I don’t know in some ways its kind of fun to get insight on the techniques they use to close the sale and maximize profits. It’s a world I’ve never taken a deep dive in before, but in many ways it’s not a dishonest as people think it, but there is a lot of trickery and deceit involved too. Kind of reminds me of my years working in politics. Certain things you can get away. Other things, not so much. But if you know the game, and can level with dealers, you can get a fair deal and leave with respect. I really think the key is knowing you’ll never have the experience the salesman has, and you can’t match their inner-knowledge of industry but you can be informed, know the red flags and when something doesn’t seem right, pause and investigate before proceeding.
