I am a used car salesmen, im 19, and only been doing the job for 4 months. In my experience, its not the dealer riping you off. If you only took a little time researching what you are looking for instead of going in blind, you can work youre self a pretty good deal.

When a custumer asks if i can sell him "this" car for 10,000 i try and get it to him or her for 9. I get paid salary- no-commision.

   cause automobiles are something that ordinary people do not know very much of in depth… so there is always the fear of getting scammed and/or paying too much.

   are people really that stupid?

   Most people fear getting taken. While the research is important in determining the price of a car, that research is typically based on recent market averages. In other words, what other people have recently paid for the vehicle. The dealer traded for it or bought it at auction so it is difficult for a buyer to know what the dealer has "in" the car. There is, of course, the fear of buying a lemon but I think most people fear that they’re just going to overpay for the car.

   I sold cars for a long time but I quit. customers know that they are not told the whole truth. they sign one paper at the dealer but when it goes to the finance company they change it some. Most salespeople use words and sentences that say something different than what the customer is hearing. They know the dealer is making way too much money off of them. Most people go to someone they trust. The manager is really in control not the salesman. When they trade in the car, they lose. The dealer will make them think that they are getting something for the trade but they are not. That is why you can make a lot more money on used cars. It is all profit. I worked for a lot of dealers and they all did the same things. They are there to get rich.

   First not all used car dealerships are honest (surprise!) and even if you find a one that is, it doesn’t mean the the customer who traded in the car you’re going to buy was (surprise again!) he may know that the tranny is about to go or he didn’t change oil except twice, once because he got it for free and right before he traded it in, the just had it serviced quote. Or the dealer bought the car a an auction and doesn’t know anything about it.

   For a lot of people a car new or used is a big expense with some risk involved. Let just say I want a car and can pay 10K and you get me the car for 9k I’m happy until the water pump goes out, the rack is bad, etc. So now I’m stuck for $$$ in repairs, who am I going to blame, the car dealership that who, I trusted you to check out the car, (I know it’s not your job but we’re talking people in general here). So for your customer there a lot of down side if thing go wrong and not a lot of up side if everything goes right.

   Just my thoughts.

   Used cars are a risky purchase even if the dealer is good and there are some dealers that are here today and gone tonight
   You are right about the research.
