To be honest, I would say

1) By showing commitment. One of the first "few questions" a sales will ask you is "Will you be buying today if the car and payments all align?" Depending on "yes, I do plan to leave with a new car" VS "no, I am still info gathering, gonna still shop around" will yield different results 100%

2) Being flexible, consider the current inventory levels at all dealerships. Having the specific car in the specific trim in the specific color will most likely not happen. There is no such thing as "a perfect car for the perfect price". Dealers are always motivated to move units, so by willing to compromise on the things that you can compromise on, and accept certain realities, smoother transactions leads to better results in my opinion.

3) Being honest, know your budget and stick to it. I already had experience where people tell me they have a $500/mth budget, but wanted to finance a $60,000 car on our longest term (84 month) with 0 down. I will tell them that is $42,000 all in (500 X 84), that includes all fees, taxes and interests etc over a 7 year term. The car they should be looking at should be low to mid 30's before fees and they get offended. I would like to tell them the car they want doesnt existing based on the budget they have. I "cant" work on a good deal if you are already too far apart to begin with.

4) Last and most important point, find Dark0821 @ OpenRoad Hyundai lool, i gib yo best price

Not really, for dealers the game is rigged because book value is artificially low and then they sell at market value after gouging you on your trade-in (with the tax reduction being their main pushing point).

For private that’s a different story, it’s hard to find a deal or jump on it before anyone else but there’s the odd gem pops up here and there and if you throw in the potential of a USA sale there’s definitely possibilities. Americans will pay a lot more for cars than Canadians will.

Ex: I sold a car to an American for $9500usd in a week of trying after getting an inbox full of hate mail trying to sell it in Vancouver at $10,500cdn.

So how does pre-ordering a car work? Every dealer has told me 9 months which is fine, but no where on the sheet does it say the MSRP. It's just a shitty PDF with my name and credit card info. So I'm guessing they're just going to bone me when it shows up.

You can request it, depends if they have pricing info for the car or not.. and when they do they should update it with a build sheet.

A friend of mine when he pre-ordered his 22 BRZ he actually got them to write in that the car would be sold at MSRP on the sheet after pricing was announced...

I have a pre-order in of my own and it was before pricing was available... but after pricing came out they did up a proper sheet for me when I asked for it.

^what are you trying to pre-order? With some brands you'll have to shop around to find a dealer that will sell at MSRP.

Honestly, the car sold it self. It was a niche car for sure, a top trim 2020 Genesis G70 3.3T Twin Turbo V6 with very minor bolt-ons, K&N short ram intake and downpipe with an aftermarket BOV. (all stock parts were in a big cardboard box inside the trunk)

To most buyers, the car is probably a tad loud, so it took alot of "luxury" out of the car (all those sound sound deadening + acoustically laminated glass) haha.

All I did was told the buyer that when G70 came on the market in 2019, it won Motor Trend car of the year, beating out its german rivals.

The car was test driven on Wednesday, and it was actually the 1st car I took to the "desking payment" stage, when I could show customer what their potential payments are going to be.

The guy needed to secure some funds and told me that he will let me know on Friday. 30min before we closed on Friday, he came in to pay the deposit and applied for financing (yea, financing and I stayed a little bit later past closed to submit the info to the banks).

Unfortunately I couldn't keep the momentum rolling, so nothing happened today, but at least all 6 guests that I've talked to today has all reached the desking stage. So they all walked away knowing what their payments will be if they went ahead.

I am still super newb and defn can't close for shiz. Everytime after the guests leaves, I will talk to the sales manager, and they would be super helpful to let me know what I couldve done to secure deposit. And I would be like "OH YEA! .... faaaacccckkk Why didnt I think of that, or Why didn't I say that?!" That would have totally changed the situation and maybe turned the hesistation to a commitment.

Welp...

It is exciting now, since I can see so much progress since I started, I was finally allowed to approach guest about a week ago.

Good Job.

Keep the ball rolling.

Hey guys, just had my first full month of sales.

Ranked 2nd in terms of total deals closed
Ranked 2nd in terms of total vehicles delivered

Did wanted to pat myself on the back a little bit =) Since I don't get any phone/internet leads at all. It's all walk-in + my own ads for now.

To summarize, it feels like a lot of it came down to luck.

Now lets hope that I can do better in November!

Cheers

It can't be just luck, give yourself some props.

You changed your career that you were comfortable and tenured in to try something new, lots of people on here warned you not to as well.

That takes big balls, not just luck. Give yourself some credit.

Hey dark0821, you can PM me if you like, but what's the 2023 G70 3.3T Sport inventory like? I seen when you build one on the website it asks for a $1k deposit to secure your build... but I am interested in the car. Do you have any for test drive?
