Dealership Stories
Hi FJ I figured everyone is telling interesting work stories i thought i should join in. i did sell cars for a few years and i have some interesting stories not many though this is probably going be my only post hope you guys enjoy.
Friday that means every car on the lot gets a balloon
Sales team spend a good half hour blowing up 100+ balloons
Balloon holder trips all the balloons float away.
Boss throws a fit sales team has to blow up another batch.
Lady wants a new altima sv for $150 a month $8k down a $3k trade
mathematically impossible boss makes me work this deal for 12 hours
Acts pissy when things don't work out
Young woman pulls up in a lifted Ford Expedition this thing was a ******* monster if I remember correctly it ran on diesel either way it was a financial drain her
She was freshly divorced and was taking care for 2 young kids.
It was a tough deal her credit was rough but I was able to get her into a new minivan. she's so happy that I was able to help she had given up hope. She was crying and hugging (she was like a 7/10 I didn't mind) so happy as she was driving away she was honking her horn and waving out the window.
2 days later she calls me crying about
how she didn't want to give the car back
The deal didn't get funded( the banks didn't buy her loan) she had to return the car feels bad man plus I lost money.
Customer pulls up in a piece of **** infinity.
Only car suitable is the cheapest car on the lot 06 Kia Sorento
Go through the sales process sell him the car
while waiting for finance customer starts throwing up
Throws up a lot over the half hour.
Financing is done all that is left is getting the car clean it's Saturday dealership busy as **** line of cars waiting to get cleaned customer is throwing up on the lot
Bribe the detail guys to move his car to the front of the line ******* $20 bucks
Get his car clean say good bye.
Call him a few days later says he went to the hospital right after doctor said if he waited another half hour his appendix would have burst.
mfw i almost killed this guy over a car deal and saved his life with $20
A car dies in the street a man and his buddies push it into the lot.
The other salsemen laugh and walk back inside I go over and hand them a few waters one asks me for my card give it to him don't think much about it.
Comes back later buys a car for himself and a 2nd one from his mother.
Says he bought from me because he heard the other salesmen laughing
this was my first deal ever a 2 car deal
Make an appointment with a customer
Customer shows up gets greeted by the company douche
"Hi I'm here for Foodyquest "
"Theres no Foodyquest here"
Boss over here's this and steps in. I proceed with the sale and sell my customer.
Customer goes to pick up son so that they can drive 2 cars home (he didn't trade his in) get's stopped by same salseman
"I'm here for Foodyquest"
"Foodyquaest got fired"
"Get the **** out of my face I just bought a truck from him plus you tried this **** earlier."
Feels good man
Memorial day ( ********* day if you ask me)
Cars selling left and right one sold like every 10 minutes or something we sold 100+ that day.
Every time a car gets sold the ring a ******* Gong by my desk.
Selling an Altima to an older couple ******* ball busters working my ass off for this deal. Wife gets a migraine 'BWONG' goes this ******* gong like every five minutes.
They ******* leave and hours of work goes with them
Call them up they said they bought a dealership that wasn't acting like a circus.

-This might have to be 2 parter have more stories than I thought-
Now here's a ******* story
6pm a guy walks on to the lot. Looks interested in a titan not just a Titan the $45K Titan that has been customized with $10k worth of additional equipment.
No one approaches him i do. This guy says he wants to put $11k down and pay off the truck a soon as possible like $800 a month or some ********
i get excited (I was still new) Go through the sales process only to find out this ***** ain't go insurance It is now like 12am the dealership closed 3 hours ago it's just me the assistant sales manager and my manager left in the store
Had to sit there while this guy SHOPPED for insurance
Buys from an obscure company it's 1230 and our finance guy has gone home now there's no way to do the deal that night. We BCA (borrowed car agreement) in another Titan this one only worth $43k to continue the deal the next day.
He didn't comeback and the number he gave me was wrong.
Boss sends me to his work place with a co worker to get the truck.
Man there says his cousin stole his identity and has been using it to steal cars Honda and Toyota are also looking for him.
Go to his address only a lonely old lady and her dogs there.
Go back to the dealership boss is livid
Co workers give me **** for weeks saying i'm giving Titans way for free the deal of the century
They find this ****** 2 weeks later in Vegas and our Titan? wrapped around a telephone pole. This mother ****** could have taken it to a chop shop or mexico and gotten away clean instead he gets high and crashes the stolen truck he was driving
