50,000 annual income and 30,000 savings. I live in Texas and am trying to get a car from florida

[Anonymous No.15289115]

>>15289061
why would you pay the dealership price?

>Online convenience fee
you're getting jewed.

[Anonymous No.15289157]

Wait, my bad. Its not an online convenience fee. It says "electronic registation fee" for getting it registered in Texas.

[Anonymous No.15289180]

Go in and haggle. Tell them “my budget was only $7,500”

Wait. Let it get really uncomfortable. Whatever they come back with, say “you’ve got to be fucking joking. I could do $8,000 but not any more.”

Make sure you actually swear. You will never see this person again. They do not have to like you.

At the end examine the final P&A. Raise a stink about it. Say “the price we agreed on was $x.” Stand up. Step away from the table. “I am not paying that.” Wait. Do not respond to what they say to you. If they waive it, sit back down. If not, walk out and make a huge scene doing it. You can always go to another dealer.

Hello, I frequent /o/. Don't buy a Floridian car, ESPECIALLY if it was in the state during a Hurricane.
Even if the car survived the hurricanes, the humidity and average IQ of Florida guarantees whatever car you buy will be a rusty shitbox.
Why not buy a car from your own state?

[Anonymous No.15289267]

>>15289198
The cars from my own state are much more expensive. This is the best deal in the country I can find right now.

[Anonymous No.15289283]

Maybe I'm just new, but that sounds like a terrible idea. Alo I cant physically go there bc its in florida

boomers are making up these prices because the boomer govt refuses to regulate companies. Dominos does this shit with delivery fees and basically every boomer business jews it up to the max and gives fake prices with the real price revealed at the final moment

[Anonymous No.15289337]

>>15289321
So that would mean that this is still a relatively good deal if they all do that, no?

[Anonymous No.15289354]

just buy 1500$ shitbox and abuse it till it falls apart, then buy another
it will last exactly as long as 10,000$, but you will have seven of them

[Anonymous No.15289367]

Gee, I wonder why.

Just buy a 50k mile 10yr old car on Craigslist or from a dealer.

[Anonymous No.15289376]

>>15289354
You can get 20-30k out of a 2k car easily. This is true but a lot of leg-work

[Anonymous No.15289413]

this, 3k civic

this a thousand times

[Anonymous No.15289428]

>>15289061
Yes you are. The dealership I worked at charged a $200 "dealer check in" fee. Which basically meant after the new cars get dropped off someone has to park them in the back and peel off all the protective plastic. 10 minutes per car max, but YOU get to pay 200 bucks for our fine service

>>15289061
check out arizona it's the next 2 states over. cars are rust free. Maybe check ebay motors for similar model and color also

>>15289180

lmao this is the stupidest advice I have ever read. Are you an actual fucking senile boomer? You have really done this at dealerships and received a "great deal"? Give me a fucking break. When you start acting like a tough guy faggot to the salesman or the desk manager, or finance manager, they will definitely work harder to fuck you over rather than help you. The angry negotiator bullshit makes you look so obviously fearful and insecure in a sales environment. Just be a normal respectful person and tell them what kind of deal you need to be able to afford the car. It especially helps if you can have fun with it, because negotiating is fun. They will be way more likely to do what they can to help you when you aren't being some emotional agro faggot about everything.

t. sold cars for 5 yrs and F/I for 2

The only way to buy a car unless you're so rich that you're not caring about the price anyway is to just buy a couple of k banger and run it into the ground and repeat. Can even spend less if you actually know about cars.

[Anonymous No.15289572]

Thank you for confirming my suspicions, sir. This makes way more sense.

>>15289619
Says the guy going dealership to dealership sperging out like a retard so he can get the gud deal. lol yep sure seems like I'm the fag

Seriously dude, consider an older cheaper car from Texas over a rusty Floridian trash heap. Rust is generally inoperable once it sets in, and is far more dangerous than just mileage/general age.
The worst thing Texan cars face is worn out rubber seals, gaskets, and weatherstripping, all of which can be proactively replaced for cheap professionally.
I'm trying to save you the struggle of buying a rusty lemon.

lol just like this convo, im NEVER talking too those people again, its like it never happened :)

>Hay guise, I bought a car from another state, the out the door cost is 20% more than sticker. Is this a fair transaction?
No, you should be buying a car in your state so you actually have recourse if it is lemon or to enforce a warranty. You are buying used, why are you allowing yourself to get fucked over?

I feel like that's a way less reliable way to go about it and would make me late for work a lot.

[Anonymous No.15290058]

>>15289954
Why? You can get perfectly reliable cars for a low price if you just want to get to a to b. They just won't be flashy.

[Anonymous No.15290976]

>>15289061
Yes, but unless you have the cash to buy it outright you probably won't get around the fees. If you do, you'll be amazed what might happen.

Only vehicle I ever bought in cash was a motorcycle, all the dealer fees just vanished when I pressed the issue. Told the guy "I want to write you a check for five grand and ride home. Make it happen and I'll buy, but I can't go any higher." After "talking to the manager" that is exactly what happened. If you have to finance you will be paying the fees. Even if they say they wave them they'll just call them something else.
