The minute the salesman needs me to talk to a sales manager, then I am ready to walk out the door. I don't immediately. First, I want to see what stupidity they will put before me. One sales manager was introduced as a retired special forces veteran from the Israeli army. I knew immediately these guys thought I was that dumb. After my third question, obvious he was not special forces. He was a sales manager doing the sales manager lies - which is the only reason they wanted me to talk to him.
Best car I ever got was also the easiest deal. An old salesman said, "Look, I know you have looked around and have the prices. This is our price. Here is our list of options. What do you want to do?"
Got the same price from him I would get anywhere else. The entire deal was done in 10 minutes. And we never wasted time with any sales manager.
Most dealers will waste a full hour with the customer. Well, I guess most customers and that dumb and manipulated. If they cannot make the deal in 10 minutes, suspect a scam complete with a sales manager to add more sales manipulation.
