I call multiple Kia dealerships to negotiate the price of a brand-new 2027 Kia Telluride for a client. I quickly run into the tactics buyers hate most. From scripted BDC gatekeeping to hidden add-ons and questionable pricing, the calls reveal exactly why so many people dread buying a car. Instead of playing the dealership games, I make dealers compete against each other live to find the best deal. After pushing back on markups and hidden fees, one dealership finally caves and the Telluride deal gets done.
There is a lot of misinformation out there when it comes to buying a car. I want to give you 5 pieces of car buying advice from the internet that you should absolutely avoid.
I called a dealership to buy a 2026 GMC Yukon AT4 and asked for their best price. What should’ve been a quick conversation turned into a 30-minute argument with a salesman who kept dodging the question. After being told he talked to the manager, I called back to find out what was really going on. This is what happens when a simple car deal turns into complete chaos.
In this episode, we audit a real Delivrd negotiation call between our negotiator Michael and a local dealership. Things escalate fast once we mention a better out-of-state offer and the conversation takes a turn.
I call dealership after dealership trying to lock down a 2027 Kia Telluride and run into everything from $10K markups to ridiculous add-on menus and mid-call hang-ups. What starts as “we’re firm at MSRP” quickly turns into competition-driven price drops once real offers hit the table. This episode breaks down how dealers test the market, how to push back, and how I ultimately gets $2,000 off a brand new Telluride by forcing them to compete.
Dealerships will say anything to get you in the door. A lot of people think that their number one goal is to sell you a car. But that's not the actual goal. Their main goal is getting you into their store. Dealerships like to fib to try and convince you to make it to the next step. Here are the top 5 lies that dealerships will tell you. Posted originally February 12, 2025, these tips still hold up now!
I had 1 hour to find one of the hardest cars to buy in February 2025, the Lexus GX550. With insane demand and limited inventory, this was no easy task. I negotiate car deals daily—sometimes even live on stream—so I had to put my skills to the test. Will I secure the deal, or will time run out? Watch until the end to see how it all plays out!
Hunting down a 2026 Hyundai Palisade Calligraphy Hybrid (brown on brown) turns into chaos when dealers won’t give pricing, won’t take deposits, and one store drops a $10,000 markup like it’s still 2021. I run the calls live, push back on the games, and keep negotiating until the deal finally flips in the last stretch to $3,000 off plus a free 75” TV to close it out.
Dealerships love to say their pricing is “transparent”… until you ask one simple question. In this episode, Tommy hunts down a 2026 Nissan Frontier Pro-4X Long Bed in Tactical Green, calls dealers across the country, exposes add-on traps, and negotiates all the way to $4,500 off with 1.9% APR then watches the deal get messy fast.
In this episode, I call what’s supposed to be one of the “best” Nissan dealerships in the country… and immediately realize no one is actually listening. Same question. Four times. Scripted responses. Zero awareness. Then came the real surprise - literal thousands in markup. This is exactly how dealerships lose leverage.
Dealerships aren’t answering… “because they hate me”. In today’s Delivrd calls, I’m hunting down a 2026 Toyota Camry Nightshade AWD during a stop-sale, dealing with deposits-before-pricing, dealer add-ons, and managers admitting they won’t discount because they “recognize me.” We end up finding the real number Bada bing bada boom.
In this video from February 5, 2025, I go live on TikTok and live negotiate for an Acura Integra! But what I didn't expect was the salesperson to have a lot of personality throughout our negotiation.
Back in February 2025, I went live on TikTok and invited car dealership salespeople from the chat to debate important topics like negotiations and dealership profits. Over three different discussions, we break down common practices, share opposing views, and tackle the challenges both consumers and dealerships face.
A dealership told me they had “good news”… but refused to give me the actual price. So we pushed. In this episode, I call multiple New York dealers on a 2026 Golf GTI and break down how pricing games, fake rebates, and “no phone quotes” tactics really work. If you’ve ever wondered why dealerships won’t just give you the out-the-door number, this is exactly why.
In this negotiation of a ‘25 Ford Mustang, I confront a dealer who continually interrupts me and makes endless excuses about the pricing of the vehicle. I already have great deals out of state but want to get it local. Unfortunately, it is hard to find a good dealer local, and the one good dealer we had crashed the vehicle so it isn’t available for sale. Ultimately a dealer pulls through for a deal.
I have never been hung up on so many times. Every dealership I encountered was incredibly rude and offered an insane markup - until someone was just made the deal simple? It was crazy, he offered MSRP and we took the deal. But the journey along the way was truly jaw-dropping...
I called multiple Kia dealerships trying to lock in a fair deal and one conversation went completely off the rails. What started as a simple pricing question turned into accusations, excuses, and pure chaos. This is exactly why buying a car feels impossible for most people.
A $20,000 discount on a brand-new Toyota Grand Highlander? At first, it sounded like an unbeatable deal, but after some back and forth, the reality of the situation became clear. The car wasn’t actually available, and I was being led into a process that felt really shady. Was this just a misunderstanding, or was something else going on? Watch to see how it all played out back on January 31, 2025.
Dishonest dealers are everywhere, and in this video, I’m exposing the Top 5 Red Flags to watch out for during car negotiations. From outrageous claims like 'Toyota told us to add this' to lies about shortages to justify crazy prices, I’m breaking down real-life encounters with some of the most deceitful tactics I’ve faced. This video will give you tips to spot these red flags and save thousands on your next car deal. While we originally released this video January 25, 2025 - the same advise applies to help keep you from making a bad deal.
I didn't expect this dealer to admit they had been SUED for violating a deposit agreement. Pretty crazy to tell me that. It was a journey to get a deal on this Hyundai Palisade Hybrid, but we got it done!
