I found a Palisade online, and stopped by the store at at lunch. I met a great sales guy who was knowledgeable about the vehicle. We went back inside, and I made sure he knew I wanted the car. I told him I wasn’t going to negotiate on price, even though it was $4k above market price. I asked for some help on a warranty and maybe some oil changes. He said he’d bring over the “finance guy.” He came over, and I updated him on what I told the sales guy. Without saying anything, he wrote $3500 and $1000 on a piece of paper, and said, “I can sell you a warranty for $3500, and 5 years of oil changes for $1000.” I was a little surprised, and I said, “so I am prepaying for oil changes, and you can’t help with a warranty either?” He condescendingly said, “we are a for-profit business.”
I was shocked. I responded, “well, I’m trying to give you $60k for a car that worth about $51k, so that’s quite a bit of profit. I am just asking for a little help.” He made some more disrespectful comments, and I told him I was done being disrespected. His response, “well, this is America so you can go buy a car somewhere else.”
As I left, he crumpled the paper and threw it in the trash as he began to bad mouth me to his manager, within ear shot of me, as I walked out the door. The GM or salesperson never contacted me.
But here’s a the thing. I drove a half mile down the road to Superior and got a Palisade with 10k less miles and a warranty for $10k less than Crain was offering. I was also treated with respect.
