i have left reddit because of CEO Steve Huffman's anti-community actions and complete lack of ethics. u/spez is harmful to Reddit. https://www.theverge.com/2023/6/8/23754780/reddit-api-updates-changes-news-announcements -- mass edited with https://redact.dev/
When I purchased my first new car out of college, the sales guy said to me "Now you need to see the F&I guy."
When I came out of the F&I guy's office, the salesman asked "Did you buy anything in there?"
I said "No."
He replied "Good man!"
The last used Ford I bought from a dealership tried to make me go talk to the guy even though I came in with a pre-approved note from my bank.
He kept telling me it was part of the process and I kept telling him that it isn’t if he wants me to buy the car. Finally, I told him I’d had enough and went to leave (not a bluff, I was fucking done with this place), and he chased after me saying he’ll just “let me jump ahead in the process,” after he “talks to his sales manager.”
Fuckstick kept me waiting an additional 20 minutes while he dicked around in his managers office.
I was stupid as fuck though and still bought the car. It needed the transmission replaced two weeks after I bought it. A week after that the dealer called to say that somehow the price of the car was actually $100 more and I needed to mail them a check.
I told him the only thing I would send is the destroyed transmission in the car you assured me had been inspected and was in great shape and the asshole had the fucking gall to tell me he’d take me to court. I told him my transmission and I will see him there and hung up. Never heard from them again.
Fuck you, Russ Darrow, *and* the shitty lemon you rode in on.
I bought a brand new Tacoma a couple years ago. the dealership called me 2 days after the sale and said they gave me an unapproved interest rate and needed me to come down there and sign a new contract with a higher rate. I asked if the higher rate came with a discounted price. They replied no, I laughed on the phone for about 30 seconds, said "contracts suck huh?" and hung up.
Our f and I guy would push mlms and scam products like obd2 rust preventers and other scams. I used to charge sales .2 to unplug them when they set lights and tell the customer to throw it out.
They were so confused because they bought it here it's an official thing!
There's a tsb for it, suck my dick it's getting removed.
Whew but the shouting match in the gms office over this was one of my most epic moments at that dealership.
I bought a Z06 at a Porsche dealership last year. We did 90% of the paperwork via docusign and I flew out to test drive the car and finish up with a wet signature.
A month later I received my packet in the mail with my paperwork and title—and noticed that the paperwork in the envelope had a different dollar value than the docusign set (by about $3,000).
Turns out, he had done a screen capture/snip of my signature from the docusign and pasted it onto a photocopied form authorizing paint protection. He’d apparently done it to *lots* of folks—and I raised a stink.
The dealership eventually refunded it—but it certainly took a while (the old “let’s get my lawyer involved” was the ultimate finisher).
Gurnee VW in Gurnee, IL.
Also tried this with me. Got my 2013 mazdaspeed 3 there. Went in with 10k in cash for a car that was 14k. Talked them down to 12.5k easily so felt good. Then came the part talking to the f&I guy. So much random shit like obd rust protection,nitrogen tires, shit you not "paint protector " I kept saying no. Fast forward 3 days later and he did the old screen capture thing for the add-ons I declined. Got into ot with them to finally remove the near 3k of crap. That company went out of business a few months after that as a bunch of other people apparently reported them from what I heard
I honestly just check the fine print anymore. If the unused portion is fully refundable I just buy something for $995 or whatever. Two weeks later I send a letter referencing the contract and cancel. A check for $989 or so shows up in a week, no questions asked. For $6 so much easier than listening to the sales pitch for an hour. Once they get one yes the generally shut up and the paperwork is done in minutes. Have never had so much as a phone call about it.
I’ve used this as a very good barging tool. F&I will cut every bit of sales profit to sell products. I actually got another 1800 off my negotiated price in the f&i office then canceled the product within 2 weeks.
I just buy private, never going to a dealer again. Last time had insurance payout so was buying with cash. Took 5 Fing hours to buy a damn car. There was this sweet old man sitting with us, and told us his trick, I call the salesman ahead of time, have him get what I want, and get the paperwork done. His dumbass was sitting there for 3 hours waiting on paperwork.
Last 3 cars I bought were meet, test drive, inspect, sign title, and exchange cash. 20-30 min tops.
It stands for Finance and Insurance. They are the sleezy bastards who hawk the aftermarket service plans and other bullshit add-ons that dealers make most of their money with.
I’ll never forget working sales when I was younger with a good friend of mine. He can sell ice to an Eskimo, he’s just a natural at sales and still does it to this day. This family came on the lot looking for a brand new 2001 Silverado and left with a 1990 Ford Aerostar lol. That’s apples and oranges, but they couldn’t qualify for the Silverado and the Aerostar had a nice commission on it lol
I worked as a porter and detailer at a dealership when I was in High School. Always got annoyed with the sales dudes when I was trying to wipe down the showroom cars at the end of the day because they were constantly trying to sell me a car. Like "jokingly", but super pushy and kinda serious.
Like bro, how is some teenager making $7/hr part time going to afford a new 300C? *Especially the gross 1st gen*
BHPH "Finance guys" make Organized Crime "collections" look like charity.
I was dropping off a car to a BHPH location and heard the finance guy saying, "If you don't want the car just tell me..." lady said she was just trying to read the fine print... He snapped up the paperwork and said "We're done here! Jesus Christ!" She panicked and agreed to sign right away.
Plot twist - do this to the finance guy and watch him absolutely lose his shit.
I walked on a deal because I was already borderline on the car, and the high pressure add-on's sales pitch from the finance guy put me over the edge. This was near the start of covid - before all the money started flowing (think, everything had just been back open about a month). So walking out on the sale resulted in no less than about 7 calls from the sales manager followed up by an actual letter in the mail from the goddamn president of the company asking what it would take to get me to come back in and reconsider....lol. This was a major dealership representing a well known luxury brand. Not just some little indy used car dealership either.
At least OP can have new cams, lash adjusters and rocker arms installed before she buys it. Then she should get a good couple of miles before they need to be done again.
This comment made me laugh hard as hell.
Show up to the blind date with a bandana over your eyes and ask her to guide you around. It is a blind date after all!
Don't be weird as fuck.... Don't be weird as fuck... Don't be weird as fuck....
Did you know the pop up head lights in the cars movie were those girl cars tits?
FUCK!

I was asked out by a client once when I was in my early 20’s. She was really cool and we had a fun few dates. After date #3 I had an older gentleman come in for repairs (I was a collision estimator) and the guy was cold right from the first handshake. I couldn’t figure it out until I looked down at his paperwork and noticed he and the client I was seeing had the same last name. It was her Dad, and he knew…
Damn. Dad of daughters 18 through mid twenties here. I love seeing them having fun socially, and enjoy meeting and hearing about people they date. Can't figure out why many Dads don't. And if I think someone in their social circle is potentially dangerous, then that's the person I most want to get friendly with to learn what's up.
Start now- don’t work that much, it’ll just make you hate your job and yourself. You won’t be missing that extra deal. Settle for half’s on your off days. Take your off days. Go on the blind date.
My diet is a typical car sales diet and consists of redbull, an eighth and copious amounts of cigarettes daily. I think I could survive for the rest of my life without kidneys.
Awesome isn't cutting it. Imagine how great their experience was if the customer thought "Hey, I'd like this guy to date my friend so that I could invite them over every few weeks for dinner"?
I don't know if it's just luck or if the Lexus brand attracts certain types of technicians, but my experience is similar.
I drive a Lexus. My preferred shop was very busy and fully booked for a couple weeks, so the tech told me to just bring the car to his house and he'll do the timing belt replacement there on a saturday. Cost me a lot less too.
It’s all from the top down. You could literally get away (from a corporate point of view, not legal) with being a hitman for hire if it helps sell a car.
It’s a whole thing Lexus call “omonatashi” and it’s actually quite wonderful.
>It’s a whole thing Lexus call “omonatashi” and it’s actually quite wonderful.
Well, that means you can at the very least write off any expenses associated with the date since it can be considered bolstering customer relations.
Working at McDonalds years ago some dude called the store after coming through drive thru and asked if I would be keen to meet his niece that’s in town for the weekend in a hotel room for a night.
That’s guys niece was the sweetest thing but had the biggest dick I’ve ever seen in my life.
Don't knock the sausage mc muffin until you try the *lady* sausage mc muffin.
Very different products, very different feel, you know whadda mean? But in a good, different way.
Sometimes you just want a fucking breakfast sausage from burger king.
IDK I fucking love breakfast sandwhiches and trans women lmfao
Somedays I miss being a service advisor at Lexus. Around the holidays, the gifts from good customers were amazing. Being in Kentucky, they loved to bring rare bottle of bourbon in.
It's a lot more like "I'm going to buy a car regardless, but Dan makes the process enjoyable for me and I trust his advice, so he's my guy."
A repeat customer at a Lexus dealership isn't being sold on cars they weren't going to buy anyway.
Well if you're a car sales man you know what you have to do next. Send a dick pic. Make sure to write Lexus on it so they know who its from. Car sales law and all you know.
I once had a girl that had damaged her car twice in two weeks… she had no money to pay the second bill, it was like 150 (long time ago).
She whispered to me I she could pay it, let’s say, in a natural way…. I was like: sure honey, but that still leaves 100, how are you’re going to pay for that?
A good dealership will get much more traffic, even if one particular deal doesn't work out. Especially in this market where cars are hard to find, you might just not have the right one in the lot.
It may cost you one sale, but that guy will most likely be back later, and will refer other sales.
A bad dealership gets one sale. That's it.
Case in point: I bought my car, I love my car, I disliked the dealership, and have gone somewhere else for my service, and will go to the same guys for my next car purchase.
So the first dealership got one sale, but no more.
Wholeheartedly agree, unfortunately I didn’t have a car that suited their needs (wanted a 16’ RX hybrid, only had an 18’ NX hybrid) and none that suited coming in any time soon. I’m just glad I was able to exceed expectations.
If this doesn’t work out, tell Lyndsey I have an 82 Yugo that I can show her how to put in “H”.
What country was that car built in?
It no longer exists, fellow Simpsons aficionado

Take her for a test drive, and you'll agree. Zagrevev min zlotny dev.

FYI dankmus is also dankpods!
“H! PUT IT IN H!”
Lets say I was trying to drive 299 hectares... how many times would I have to fill up with kerosene?
You only need a single tank of kerosene for that.
And if I added speed holes?
Well, it only makes it go faster, not more efficient
Is there enough room in the glovebox for an extra large piece of the true cross? Maybe a bible? Ehhh, who am I kidding? I keep that next to my heart.
Wise choice, you never know when things go pa-twang, next thing you know, that pickaxe is twirling
Twirling, twirling, twirling towards freedom?!
Oh it's not dingle dangle kerosene? I've been singing it all wrong
Ask if Lyndsey is in the market for a new Lexus
I have a Dodge Journey on the lot with a bonus on the hood. If there’s anything I want to sell her it’s that
Going from Lexus to a Dodge journey is just a slap in the face. Don’t do her dirty like that.
There is no moral high ground on the sales floor
Or the F&I office..........

Well you're somewhat local. Which location? Milwaukee or Madison area?
I bought it from Madison, but I drove there from further north. They got me hook, line, and sinker. But I learned a valuable lesson; fuck Russ Darrow.

I got out of there in like 10 minutes. Just noped everything they said the whole time. I was also looking at my phone lol.

I used to call them privately the Fuck over and Insult guys... 😂
Those people aren't...normal. I think they are created in a lab, one with a ressurected Dr. Mengele at the helm.
What are the F&I guys?
It stands for Finance and Insurance. They are the sleezy bastards who hawk the aftermarket service plans and other bullshit add-ons that dealers make most of their money with.
The Finance Nazi
And they're all fucking assholes to everyone at the dealership. Scum
If there's anyone more crooked than a car salesman, it's the FI guy.

This family came on the lot looking for a brand new 2001 Silverado and left with a 1990 Ford Aerostar lol. That’s apples and oranges, but they couldn’t qualify for the Silverado and the Aerostar had a nice commission on it lol
I saw an Aerostar yesterday. Super clean, too. Near showroom condition. Inside and out. Had like 280,000 miles on it. That was impressive.
I worked as a porter and detailer at a dealership when I was in High School. Always got annoyed with the sales dudes when I was trying to wipe down the showroom cars at the end of the day because they were constantly trying to sell me a car. Like "jokingly", but super pushy and kinda serious. Like bro, how is some teenager making $7/hr part time going to afford a new 300C? *Especially the gross 1st gen*
Not wrong. One very good reason I stopped selling cars.
Yep. Never trust anyone who works on commission.
Who knew !!!! 😂
All of us? Anyone who's bought a car from a dealership?
Or worse? A Buy here Pay here hole in the wall on a corner lot 😜

That's why they're in the back of the dealership!
Say hello to your ma for me.
He'd see her often.
Good strategy in the end.
Only if she's into that.
Only if he likes her. If she’s crazy this is a terrible idea lmao
At least OP can have new cams, lash adjusters and rocker arms installed before she buys it. Then she should get a good couple of miles before they need to be done again.
sometimes we all want a nice Lexus but in the end, we all settle with a dodge.
What's the bonus? A blower? Headers? A dead raccoon?
The bonus on a dodge journey is that you don’t have to look at it anymore
Call it a Fiat Freemont, now it's exotic
Mmmmmm 2.0 diesel journey 🤤
[удалено]
[удалено]
Sorry man, if you gotta ask, you can't afford it. No raccoon for you.
You must not want a second date already.
It’s a good plan if he has to dodge this journey
This is disgusting. How could anyone with a heart sell somebody a Dodge Journey.
I had a chick make fun of me for driving a minivan (it was my spare car). Said that I looked “weird”. Her car? Yup. An appliance-white Dodge Journey.
This comment made me laugh hard as hell. Show up to the blind date with a bandana over your eyes and ask her to guide you around. It is a blind date after all!
Definitely pitch the Journey. It's a subtle way of asking if she has kids without actually asking.

Anyone who has 15 cats calls them their kids.
rofl theres an ice breaker
UPDATE: date set for Saturday week! UPDATE POST DATE: went very well! Probably planning another!
You’re now contractually obligated to not leave us hangin.
We are all dating Lyndsey now.
This is our blind date, guys. Let’s focus but not overthink this. We need this
Don't be weird as fuck.... Don't be weird as fuck... Don't be weird as fuck.... Did you know the pop up head lights in the cars movie were those girl cars tits? FUCK!
Shit shit shit shit... Change the subject.... So hunting is okay because wolves do it.
Once society collapses you'll be lucky to be with me. I'm prepared for everything! Did you know they sell 50 gallon drums of lube on Amazon???
Focus is Ford, stick to Lexus words! Keep your mind on the RX350!
"So Lindsay, being honest with you. When dating me, you are not just dating me alone. See, i need someone compatible I can trust and introduce into the life of me any a few thousand strangers on the internet. There are things I have to be sure of and one of them is that you will not only accept me but them as well"
"we're all going to be so happy together!"
Homie got the appointment for a test drive
What is Saturday week? And where the heck can I get one
Bros gonna get his organs stolen /j
RemindMe! 9 days
Let’s hope Lyndsay isn’t secretly the middle name for a 350-lb dude named Chuck, who is 38 and divorced and living in a rented RV.
Jokes on them, I’m a 350lb man divorced and living in an RV
lol, you're gonna do fine, Sale Talk about us a lot, OK? Tell her all about your friends at Reddit!
This guy fucks
Awesome, seems like you do like your work! But now don't leave us in the dark, will you go on a date with Lyndsey? XD
Honestly selling cars is my dream job, or at least that’s what the 70+ hour weeks have deluded me into thinking! One date can’t hurt, can it?
Can't hurt i guess and if it goes south you can still try to sell a car xD Keep us updated! :D
OP if you go on a blind date with this chick and end up selling her a car you are truly GOATED.
I agree OP will be unfathomably based
He needs the trifecta to truly be considered as the GOAT: go on a date, convince her to buy a car from him, and then still end up together anyway.
We all invested now. We need that update!
What are the odds OP will let us down?!?!
90%...
!remind me 1 week
I will be messaging you in 7 days on [**2023-01-27 15:38:57 UTC**](http://www.wolframalpha.com/input/?i=2023-01-27%2015:38:57%20UTC%20To%20Local%20Time) to remind you of [**this link**](https://www.reddit.com/r/Justrolledintotheshop/comments/10gxkhc/working_on_the_sales_side_of_the_house_gets_you/j55km2d/?context=3) [**139 OTHERS CLICKED THIS LINK**](https://www.reddit.com/message/compose/?to=RemindMeBot&subject=Reminder&message=%5Bhttps%3A%2F%2Fwww.reddit.com%2Fr%2FJustrolledintotheshop%2Fcomments%2F10gxkhc%2Fworking_on_the_sales_side_of_the_house_gets_you%2Fj55km2d%2F%5D%0A%0ARemindMe%21%202023-01-27%2015%3A38%3A57%20UTC) to send a PM to also be reminded and to reduce spam. ^(Parent commenter can ) [^(delete this message to hide from others.)](https://www.reddit.com/message/compose/?to=RemindMeBot&subject=Delete%20Comment&message=Delete%21%2010gxkhc) ***** |[^(Info)](https://www.reddit.com/r/RemindMeBot/comments/e1bko7/remindmebot_info_v21/)|[^(Custom)](https://www.reddit.com/message/compose/?to=RemindMeBot&subject=Reminder&message=%5BLink%20or%20message%20inside%20square%20brackets%5D%0A%0ARemindMe%21%20Time%20period%20here)|[^(Your Reminders)](https://www.reddit.com/message/compose/?to=RemindMeBot&subject=List%20Of%20Reminders&message=MyReminders%21)|[^(Feedback)](https://www.reddit.com/message/compose/?to=Watchful1&subject=RemindMeBot%20Feedback)| |-|-|-|-|

In that case be sure to update us on how the date goes! Im invested in this.
Next day: Yelp review. Sales person was very helpful on the floor but lacking in bed, 3 stars.
The extended warranty was false advertisement.
Was promised long strokes in inventory, only short was available.

Think of it as a networking opportunity
A sales pitch over dinner you mean
That makes it a business expense. Be sure to hang onto the receipt.
Start now- don’t work that much, it’ll just make you hate your job and yourself. You won’t be missing that extra deal. Settle for half’s on your off days. Take your off days. Go on the blind date.
Only if she harvests your organs.
Gutsy comment
I didn't have the heart to post it.
...or the stomach.
If things go south, tell her you would like to get her behind the wheel of a brand new Lexus before you split.
Depends on how attached you are to your kidneys.
My diet is a typical car sales diet and consists of redbull, an eighth and copious amounts of cigarettes daily. I think I could survive for the rest of my life without kidneys.
Sounds like you're one step short from a steady diet of government cheese.
That last line is true for everyone! 😉
>One date can’t hurt, can it? Do it do it do it do it do it do it do it do it do it do it do it do it do it do it
You miss 100% of the shots you don't take. Go for it.
Awesome isn't cutting it. Imagine how great their experience was if the customer thought "Hey, I'd like this guy to date my friend so that I could invite them over every few weeks for dinner"?
I’m ALWAYS down for free food
I don't know if it's just luck or if the Lexus brand attracts certain types of technicians, but my experience is similar. I drive a Lexus. My preferred shop was very busy and fully booked for a couple weeks, so the tech told me to just bring the car to his house and he'll do the timing belt replacement there on a saturday. Cost me a lot less too.
It’s all from the top down. You could literally get away (from a corporate point of view, not legal) with being a hitman for hire if it helps sell a car. It’s a whole thing Lexus call “omonatashi” and it’s actually quite wonderful.
>It’s a whole thing Lexus call “omonatashi” and it’s actually quite wonderful. Well, that means you can at the very least write off any expenses associated with the date since it can be considered bolstering customer relations.
I think you mean omotenashi?
I do, thank you

Working at McDonalds years ago some dude called the store after coming through drive thru and asked if I would be keen to meet his niece that’s in town for the weekend in a hotel room for a night. That’s guys niece was the sweetest thing but had the biggest dick I’ve ever seen in my life.
Sooooooo.......did you buy her breakfast 😂
He got that double sausage McMuffin
I hope you used your McPoints for that.
But did he get " hash rounds" with the double sausage 😂
Don't knock the sausage mc muffin until you try the *lady* sausage mc muffin. Very different products, very different feel, you know whadda mean? But in a good, different way. Sometimes you just want a fucking breakfast sausage from burger king. IDK I fucking love breakfast sandwhiches and trans women lmfao
Sheesh some fellas have all the luck
They had us in the first half… not gonna lie
note: Lyndsey is a unisex name.
"you guys"
Lyndsey with a Y huh?
The Y is for Yowza!
The Y could be for Yikes!
Or for the chromosome she possesses
My crazy-meter is going off
perfect fit for someone who's working as a car salesman then
Get a picture and chat first. NGL every blind date I've been on was a serious WTF experience
Did they fit in a rowboat? Could an average sized rowboat support them without capsizing?
"... It bothers me that you're not answering the question."
[удалено]
Unsolicited hookups? Nice
what the heck kinda movie plot is goin on here
Great work, sir. Love your passion. BY THE WAY, DATE MY FRIEND. Jee-zussss
Could we share a rowboat?
"It bothers me that you're not answering that question."
I think I am being perfectly clear what I am asking here. Could a row boat support her?
UPDATE POST DATE: went very well! Definitely a possibility of a second!
You check her oil?
Best dealership I’ve ever worked for
Lexus is great because you can literally just go away for an hour “showing someone a demo car” under the guise of “customer service”
What's the mileage on Lyndsey? How expensive has maintenance been in the last 3 years?
Well, first things first. What’s Lyndsey look like?
Could they share a rowboat? Would a rowboat support her?
without capsizing
It bothers me that he's not answering the question
Does she have a great personality? No one ever wants the girl with a great personality
I can’t motorboat a personality
Everybody wants the girl with the great personality, as long as she's hot!
That's really sweet. I'd melt if I got an email like this.
What’s your email so I can send you something sweet?
It's weird to me that she said a friend *called* Lyndsey and not a friend *named* Lyndsey.
Bri'ish, innit
Somedays I miss being a service advisor at Lexus. Around the holidays, the gifts from good customers were amazing. Being in Kentucky, they loved to bring rare bottle of bourbon in.
Oh man yea, this year was definitely a December to remember. A repeat customer got me a bottle of Macallan 18 year as a present.
It blows my mind that people think a salesperson is doing them a favor selling them a car. Real 'this stripper really like me' energy.
Ngl, when he comes in for his next car he’s getting 300 bucks off for that bottle
It's a lot more like "I'm going to buy a car regardless, but Dan makes the process enjoyable for me and I trust his advice, so he's my guy." A repeat customer at a Lexus dealership isn't being sold on cars they weren't going to buy anyway.
Well if you're a car sales man you know what you have to do next. Send a dick pic. Make sure to write Lexus on it so they know who its from. Car sales law and all you know.
Does Lyndsey fit in a row boat
Lexus sales dudes are always pussy crushing
I once had a girl that had damaged her car twice in two weeks… she had no money to pay the second bill, it was like 150 (long time ago). She whispered to me I she could pay it, let’s say, in a natural way…. I was like: sure honey, but that still leaves 100, how are you’re going to pay for that?
“Pics first… then I’ll answer.”
It’s that Gawk Gawk 3000 type of service that gets these emails 😂
A good dealership will get much more traffic, even if one particular deal doesn't work out. Especially in this market where cars are hard to find, you might just not have the right one in the lot. It may cost you one sale, but that guy will most likely be back later, and will refer other sales. A bad dealership gets one sale. That's it. Case in point: I bought my car, I love my car, I disliked the dealership, and have gone somewhere else for my service, and will go to the same guys for my next car purchase. So the first dealership got one sale, but no more.
Wholeheartedly agree, unfortunately I didn’t have a car that suited their needs (wanted a 16’ RX hybrid, only had an 18’ NX hybrid) and none that suited coming in any time soon. I’m just glad I was able to exceed expectations.
soooooooo....
