Helping a buddy look for a new truck. I went into this thinking there were no deals to be had. After some research I’m thinking if he waits a few more months he might find some deals.
How are things looking in your area?
I sold trucks for 10 years.
I have questions for you on how you can BRUTALLY take advantage of the dealer.
1. Are you paying cash, leasing, or financing?
2. Do you need it right away?
3. Are you patient?
4. Are you ready to act quickly if need be?
5. Are you open to Spec and Color?
6. Do you buy a new truck every couple years...or 5-10 years.
7. Are you open to brands?
8. Do you want reliability?
9. Do you have brand loyalty (tunnel vision).
10. Do you like Estate sales?
11. No better deal then a MINT senior driven truck with no miles on it for cheap.
12. Do you need new?
13. Do you have kids?
Do you pay fee's? (Pure theft).
Do you add warranty? (Useless and insane).
Do you want 0% (RIP off ALOT of the time).
I Know the margins ON ALL brands and models.
Do you want 25,000 off cash or 0% with a trash discount?
Would you lease with intent to pay cash or re-finance?
Are you Muslim? Will you pay interest or a MASSIVE discount. (Great if you are in and out of trucks every 2 years).
Leather holds its value. Cloth does not unless it's a Tacoma or Tundra. FULL STOP!!
Gas or Diesel?
What is your budget? Monthly budget? Cash budget?
