Stalling the client. Now, why would the car salesperson stall his or her client?, you may ask why. Simple. The purpose of the stalling trick is to exhaust you. While you are sitting in the office with the ?free cup of coffee in a styrene mug? trying to decide whether or not the salesperson has offered you a good deal, it reduces the time available for to you to shop around for a better price. Remember these salespeople don't have anything else to do but convince you to buy this car here and now. Moreover, they know exactly how to do this with the help of the other salespeople and mechanics.
They might misplace the keys to the trade in or perhaps another client's car has blocked yours (?you'll have to wait for the return of the client?). Perhaps they will take excessive time to assess the trade-in. There is always a valuer on site at a dealership, and a valuation takes no more than 10 to 15 minutes. Before you know it, you're impatient, and you're willing to buy the first car you see in the showroom.
Car Dealer Tactic #10
The ?limited time' offer. If the dealer does give a price, (a most unusual and dicey thing for the car dealer to do) he will try to make you believe that it is only valid right now, while you are standing in the showroom. This is an obvious ploy to force you to make up your mind on the spot. The amazing thing about this con is the number of people that fall for it.

The My-wife/husband-drives-one trick
Another classic trick designed to make the customer think the car is really exceptional is when the car dealer boasts, ?My wife/husband drives one?. Yes, the car salesperson has bought the same model for his own spouse. If it so happens that he or she really does drive this particular model, then it is most probably because the salesperson gets it as part of his/her salary package because they work for the car dealership. Not because there is anything really exceptional about the car model.
What you need to think about when buying a new or used car is that going online to find the make, model and all the information about the vehicle first is a smarter, and, you have to admit, less tiring way to buy a car.
