Hilarious, your my brother from another mother.
The car business is the only career I have been in. Unfortunately in the last decade, smoking deals have become fewer and far between. PRE owned prices have sky rocketed so there is a lot more junk on the lots being retailed for full and above market values. In my opinion it's tough to find a really good deal sitting on the lot ready to go.
I always find them on the back lot before they ever make it through the shop. These days though, customers arent allowed to do that anymore. No way around it you're gonna pay the shop fees, the pack they build into every deal and then it gets detailed, then a customer is able to buy. By that time, a fair amount of expense has been absorbed into the vehicle. The deals are just real hard to find.
Right now, PRE owned tahoes are selling for some decent prices. Mainly because of the push for fuel economy. Even though gas prices have dropped a ton, we all know it ain't gonna last. So it really isn't driving the sales of large SUVs through the roof so on my lots, the deals aren't too bad.
You just gotta play the game these days and educate yourself in knowing that salesmen and managers make money off of you financing. So you gotta play the game from that angle. Finance for the better deal, then pay off immediately to be debt free. Otherwise, you'll always fight a dealership. Everybody is trying to make a living so just play the game.
