"John and Michelle did a wonderful job. The finance guy at the car dealership still tried to upsell and had to redo the contract three times. I know he was hoping I wouldn’t notice the difference. Fortunately I had the work sheet with the OTD price and I just kept pointing to that number. I would highly recommend you guys and have made sure everyone with the exception of the dealership knew how great an experience this.." says Toni on Google

“Bring a Competitor’s OTD Quote to Every Dealership”
Dealers hate this power move… because it works.
Always bring a written OTD quote from another dealership before you negotiate a single number.

A competing quote destroys fake fees, kills the “best we can do” line, and forces the dealer to compete for your business — not the other way around.

Smart buyers don’t argue… they compare.
Use this tactic every time you shop. 💥

Want to Save Thousands? Just Walk Away. 🚶💥

One of the strongest negotiation tools you have is simple: walk away or hang up.
Dealers make their worst offers when they think you’re desperate…
and their best offers when they realize you’re not.

A walk-away puts all the pressure back on them — and that’s when real savings show up.

Dealer Says You “MUST” Buy GAP? Nope — You’ll Pay WAY Less Elsewhere!

Dealers love to claim GAP insurance is “required.”
🚨 It’s NOT. And it’s almost always way cheaper through your own bank or credit union.

Here’s the truth:
GAP at the dealership is usually marked up hundreds of dollars.
Smart buyers shop it independently — and save big.

If a dealer “loses” your keys so you can’t leave… that’s not sales pressure — that can be a crime.

Holding your keys to keep you inside the dealership can legally qualify as false imprisonment, which is illegal in every state and can even be charged as a felony depending on the circumstances.

You have every right to:
👉 Demand your keys back immediately
👉 Walk out
👉 Call the police if they refuse to return them

Your keys are your property.
Your freedom is not negotiable.

Stay informed, stay empowered, and don’t let any dealership trap you.

Never negotiate a car deal when you’re tired or hungry.
That’s when dealers win — and buyers make mistakes.

Fatigue makes you impatient. Hunger makes you say “yes” just to get it over with.
And the dealership counts on that.

Smart buyers walk in rested, focused, and prepared.
Even better? Get your OTD price in writing from home before you step on the lot.

Dealer Add-Ons Are LEGALLY Required To Be OPTIONAL — Don’t Get Tricked! 🚨

Car dealers love to say certain add-ons are “required” — things like paint protection, nitrogen, LoJack, VIN etching, window tint, protection packages…
But here’s the truth: Federal law requires every add-on to be OPTIONAL.
If a dealer says you must buy it to get the car? That’s a tying violation and a deceptive sales practice.

Smart buyers ask:
👉 “Can you remove this add-on?”
If they say no… that’s your cue to walk.

Know your rights. Protect your wallet.
