Bull****Car dealers are the cheapest most corrupt people on the planet.
Why expect them not to gouge?
Good prosecutor could convict them of the Racketeer Influenced and Corrupt Organizations Act.
Description
With all due respect, yes it is.That's not what this is about. They don't have any cars to sell and when they get one in, they gouge people on the price. People will remember this stuff.
Paying a tiny salary plus commission to service writers to get them to sell you stuff you don’t need.Bull****

Finance office too. They may not tell you x bank offered you 6% if they can make more on the spread on a 8% loan
Inflating the cost of cars to avoid paying commission
I stand by my statementVery obvious you have never owned a business.
I get making money.We are in unprecedented times, since perhaps WW2, which has produced a decimated supply chain. Manufacturer's costs have gone up. Critical parts are in short supply.
Dealers sales number in quantity of cars is way down. Supply is way down.
This is not just automobiles.
As far as car dealers, they are in the business of making money, just like everybody else. Like it or not.
If you are buying now, good luck. Personally, I try to establish business relationships.
I fully agree. The athletes go on strike and the fans say they will remember. They don’t. The politicians pull some stunts and the voters say they will vote them out. They don’t. The car dealers/sales people are selling with huge markup and the customers say they will remember. They won’t.No they won't. The firearm community says this "crisis" after "crisis" about Cheaper Than Dirt, but guess who's still in business after selling items at literally 1000% mark-up...
I don't know how car salespeople are paid but I'm pretty sure the largest chunk is based on commissions from car sales. You can't sell a car if you're not there at the car lot. I'd guess they take customers in order so you'd better not go the bathroom when it's getting close to 'your' turn to meet a potential customer.This is a huge Toyota dealer that had 14 new cars to sell on the day we were there. But they had a full complement of sales people which I didn't understand. They didn't have any used cars either.
The latest articles seem to say that they got rid of a lot of salespeople as part of the need for so many were that they were busy trying to drum up business. Now they don't have to and they're basically selling every car that comes into their lot. Just because they don't have any inventory doesn't mean they're not making any sales. The cars just aren't sitting on the lot like they used to. So the salesmen that are left are selling more cars per salesperson and the prices are higher so they're making a lot more money too.I don't know how car salespeople are paid but I'm pretty sure the largest chunk is based on commissions from car sales.

I spoke to a woman last week whose husband is a GM for a dealership and she quit her job because her husband, "...has never made more money than he is right now". Whatever that means they seem to be doing well.The latest articles seem to say that they got rid of a lot of salespeople as part of the need for so many were that they were busy trying to drum up business.

They take turns? I've never noticed.... Seems to me they all swarm at once when someone walks in the door.I don't know how car salespeople are paid but I'm pretty sure the largest chunk is based on commissions from car sales.

I like to take the long way to the Parts Dept. just for fun, through the showroom. But only if I remember to put on my dog-training padded arm protectors and leggings first!
In sales, it's sometimes known as the 5k lunch. You go to lunch and you miss a client and you lose a sale to someone else which could have gotten you 5k.They take turns? I've never noticed.... Seems to me they all swarm at once when someone walks in the door.
