We could be talking about anyone’s personal finance, but when it comes to auto sales and finance, it is a lot of what we do, and a lot of what we don’t do that affects our finances. Here are some tips to avoid some of these pitfalls.
First things first, do not get in a car with a known drug dealer. When you are buying a car, the dealer is the only person who is legally allowed to ask questions about the car. This means that if the dealer is asking you about the gas mileage or the maintenance history, you should not be asking him about the car itself.
If you’re driving for a friend or someone else, go to a dealership and ask them about the current fuel mileage. This information is the only thing that can be used as a basis for driving a car. If the dealer says that the fuel mileage has changed, he tells you that it hasn’t been changed. If the dealer is telling you that his car is not in good repair, you should still go to a dealership and ask them about the fuel mileage.
It was the fuel mileage that initially kept my friend from buying the car that he desperately needed. The fuel mileage was one of those things that everyone had different opinions on. He wanted to buy a new car, but he didn’t want to pay for a new one with a high fuel mileage. I was the one that got him to change his mind.
My friend was just talking with the salesman about his car, and hadnt understood all the nuances of the conversation until the salesman pointed out that he was not talking about the car’s mileage. He was talking about fuel mileage. You should always keep that in mind when you are talking to dealers about your car.
It’s possible that a salesman might mispronounce the words “fuel” and “mileage” in conversation with you. But I think it’s more likely that he mispronounces them in his head. It’s also possible that he’s just incredibly dense. He might be in denial about it, but he’s likely to remember that you’re talking about fuel mileage and not the miles per gallon in the car.
The more I talk to dealers, the more I learn that the average dealer is as ignorant as ever. I recently had a conversation with one of my dealers who was very aware of his surroundings, but he was also very dismissive of my question about the actual mileage on my car. He said that the car was fine. He then proceeded to tell me how great my fuel mileage was (and he was right!) but that it was probably less than that.
There is one dealer who I got to talking to that really knows his stuff. He is truly one of the most knowledgeable dealers I have ever talked to about cars. He is also a little bit older than me, so this is not a new conversation for him.
Yes, auto dealers are much more knowledgeable about cars. But I wonder why auto dealers in Amarillo, TX, are better than others. I am not a car dealer or an auto mechanic but I still have to go to school to get a driver’s license or a car mechanic’s license. There are three auto mechanics in Amarillo, TX, and all of them are in the top 100 in the country when it comes to the number of people they are teaching.
I would think that there would be a lot of people in the top 100 who would be great drivers or mechanics, but I’m sure that there are many others who aren’t. I wonder why dealerships in Amarillo, TX, are better than dealerships in other parts of the country. I’m not looking for a new car, but I am trying to understand what makes the Amarillo dealerships better than the rest.
