I just saw some used cars listed with new 360 fly-thru virtual reality video tours. Made me feel right in front of the car. This would remove one of the last hurdles in online buying - sight-unseen...Ed
I can relate to your frustration of not being able to communicate effectively with internet customers. I have found that when dealing with an internet customer your main goal is to sell your customer on making a visit to your showroom. It is very rare that you will actually "sell" a car through e-mail correspondence. When I receive an e-mail lead my only goal is closing that customer on a visit to my office, not on colors, or options. It's hard because you want every internet lead to buy a car, but the truth is they can buy a car anywhere. My initial e-mail, or phone call (if possible) is spent trying to sell myself, and my program. People can send 50 purchase requests over the internet in 5 minutes. It is the person who sets themselves apart from the rest that will make the sale. There are always people who will only buy 1 color and no other, but as the "statistic" goes 86% of people bought something other than what they were originally looking for. For internet shoppers time is the key. My response time goal for internet shoppers is 5 minutes. When I contact internet leads in the 1st 5 minutes 60% of them come into our office, and of those almost 60% agree to purchase. Time is the key to closing an internet lead!!!
I have found that when dealing with an internet customer your main goal is to sell your customer on making a visit to your showroom.
It's funny how your main goal is diametrically opposed to the internet shopper's main goal... which is to get a quote over the internet. Your response times are admirable, though.
Ya know, last spring I had a serious case of convertible fever and was looking for a fun car as an extra in the family. There was a dealer a couple hours away who had what looked on his page to be perfect - a nice 01 Miata with a wood steering wheel and lots of nice stuff.
I sent an E-mail asking about it and they replied with no information - just requests to call and come up. I replied that that asked up front how I wished to be contacted and I had asked for E-mail and again asked for some information. They said come up and we can talk.
It would not have taken much to get me to make the couple of hour trip and they could have easily sold me - I was ripe, but they didn't answer a single question and only used their "Internet sales" department to send what became annoying E-mails. They are off my radar.

I just bought a car almost entirely over email, so it CAN be done. With Jeep Wranglers, a lot of people factory order so I sent out 'give me a quote' emails to about four dealers - only one responded with an actual quote (keep in mind I had EXACT options listed with codes and all and this was a factory order) and we negotiated to $250 over invoice and that was it. I went in only to verify the order (5 minutes) and to pick up the car (20 minutes). Sure I was probably a mini or close to it (no financing, no trade, no mop n glo) but I took at most 30 minutes of his time. I completely ignored the dealers that called and tried to get me to come down before they would talk price.. Some of them kept calling even after I told them I already had the car on order with someone else!
When I receive an e-mail lead my only goal is closing that customer on a visit to my office,...
The last two times I bought I started with the internet. If the dealer didn't respond with a return e-mail to pique my interest, there would not have been a trip to the showroom. I realize that you have to firm up the deal at the store but if you can't listen to my e-mail by giving me a good ball park price, you're going to strike out with me and I'm lobbing up softballs.
My response time goal for internet shoppers is 5 minutes.
That's fantastic. No one ever got back to me within 2 hours but, like I said, without a price to wet my appetite; no deal.
If you can't hear what I'm saying with my e-mail, why should I think you'll hear me when we're talking face to face? :confuse:

Yeah, I was practically begging these folks to give me an excuse to make the trip. An E-mail saying the price was negotiable or did I know the car had (insert desirable feature here) probably would have done the trick. All I got were automated responses saying to call. A pox upon them.

Stopped at a few used car lots a few weeks ago. Strange how differently the salesmen are. One, whom I did talk with instead of being turned off by, gave me his card at the right time and suggested remembering his last name if we came back. It was "Price." I asked him if his middle name was "Low." He didn't seem to get the joke at all. Otherwise he had a very pleasant manner and personality.
Out of 5-6 who attacked that day he was one that I would give some trust to. His explanation of each car that I looked at was right on. He worried that we were 35 miles from home and "were kind of out of your area." He didn't note that I had been reared in that general area although I told him early on. I took the time to educate him that with a good Frisch's restaurant, a new Kohls, and new Menards in the shopping area along the interstate 5 miles away we probably weren't the only ones from a short drive who'd stop at their lots to shop.
j, you may like this little story. I went in to work today around 2:30 pm. I was home, bored, no football to watch since my Cowboys played on Thursday. I hanged around for aboout and hour and a half and decided to come home. Just as I stood up from the station I was sitting at a customer walks in out of nowhere. I looked around and all the salespeople were in the customer waiting area watching the Skins and Bucs game and there was no one on the lot.
He asks me for a price on a Salsa red CPO Tundra that we have on the line. I walk out to the truck with him and open it up so he can see it. I look up the price on my list and tell him. He seems a little nervous and comes out and says: "Look, this is what I want to do. I want to drive out with a truck today. I have a 2001 Hyundai Elantra that I owe the bank 2k dollars on and I want my payments at around $400.00 a month." "Ok, sounds good to me. Let's find you a truck." we drive around the lot looking for a double cab Tacoma which he tells me he would rather have due to gas prices going up. I find the truck we were looking for, an 05 Double Cab pre-runner with 9241 miles, CPO. As I go to look for the keys since it was on the clean up line for the front line he looks at both the Tundra and the Tacoma and decides to work numbers on the Taco.
Now the kicker of this story is he actually has some "equity" in the trade! It's got a rejected state inspection sticker and I also notice the tags expire this month. He is ready to do a deal. The car is appraised by our UCM at $2200.00 dollars. His payoff: $2037.73 so we have $167.27 to use as a down payment. He wants to finance for 72 months and we get his payments around $410.00 and we have a deal. We get done after 6pm so prep is closed by then, I do get a full tank of gas in the truck and tell him to bring it back during the week to get a full detail. I'm glad I went in. Mack
I must ask, were you really in the market for a car or were you just evaluating sales people? If it is the latter, I am sure they appreciated you wasting valuable time.
"...Why don't most dealers list any of the options on their new cars?..."
Man that is annoying. For some models that package all their options you can figure it out but it's still a pain.
Worse yet is when they do this for USED cars. Is this the LX or the LXI? Could be a bargain, could be a dud. You can't tell. Or how about they leave out milage or even price!? It just says "contact us". Sure. You don't care enough to post the price but I should waste my time begging you for it. NEXT! :mad:
I think you're right, it is a ploy to get you to call or come in. For some people it has the opposite effect.

I think I know why they do this. Because they have a cookie cutter lot. You can get the exact same vehicle that is parked on their lot at another store 2 miles down the road. When you're dealing with a product that is mass produced, then you'll be able to find many vehicles that are identical.
The dealership wants to have you on the lot so that they can sell you a vehicle. If you find that they don't have the exact vehicle looking to purchase, then you may not go to that dealership at all. It's all to get you on their lot so that they can sell you something they have in stock.
Pretty simple really. I think it's merely a way for the dealership to survive in a very competitive marketplace.
"...The dealership wants to have you on the lot..."
It must be a percentage game. For every person like me who will not come to the lot without knowing the price beforehand, there must be two who will. As someone said: If it didn't work they wouldn't do it.
The last car I bought I got most of the info off the internet. I called for a test drive. The car was ready for me when I arrived. Took the test drive alone and told them I would call them the next day if I wanted to make an offer. Next day I called and made an offer. They bumped up, I bumped down; in the end they got another $50 from me (moment of weakness). I came in with a check and drove away. One of the easiest, no games deals I ever made. If they hadn't had a price on the net I never would have called.
Funny though, that dealer has since gone belly up. Maybe Moo is right, some of these games may mean survival.

Speaking firsthand from working at one of these lots, I really think 'survival' is the only reasonable explanation. In a perfect world people would be loyal and honest and the dealership would be as well. However, that's simply not the case.
Joe Verde does sales training classes for car salesmen. He is very good at what he does. One of the things that he teaches is to get an appointment from a phone-up or an internet customer. If you can get that, he says you have a 50% chance of closing them if they show up. That's a pretty strong number. I think that's why you may find some salesmen don't want to talk price at all before you get into the store. First, they may be giving away too much gross. Second, they assume they can't sell you that vehicle through the phone.
At any rate, I'm rambling a little bit, but hopefully that helps put a little of this in perspective. :shades:
My initial rant was about not putting the asking price on a web site. In my case they would have not been able to get me into the dealership because I wouldn't have called. I now see why some do this though.
2019 Kia Soul+, 2015 Mustang GT, 2013 Ford F-150, 2000 Chrysler Sebring convertible
I actually think this IS a little counterintuitive. Not putting the prices on a vehicle on their website seems just plain silly. You would want to start from somewhere, anywhere!
Obviously, they are missing some business (like yours) by not posting those numbers up there.
I did take it GP. When I first started selling, I did a 1 week course before the dealership would let me start. I'm actually doing a refresher right now as well. Some of his points are very helpful. It's a little bit different now with highline, but you can obviously apply a lot of it.
I have 2 Rogue's out for the month but they are definatley heating up. As we knew they would.
The delaership I work for has it in house training system similar to Joe Verde. Basically the same stuff with a differnt twist on the word tracks
Just delivered a Murano and I am waiting on a aproval for loan on a Armada with 610 fico score.... Hope that one goes through. It will be close to your first Porsche deal. But right now it is a mind deal.......
Well, the one you're typing this message on would be a good start. If you have specific make (like Honda) that you're interested in purchasing, then goto that manufacturer's website and use their dealer search to find some dealerships in your area.
Contact those dealers with the exacts that you are looking for and obtain price quotes from them and availability. Agree to a price, make a deposit, ask for all the paperwork to be printed before you come to the dealership and then spend 30 minutes signing it at the dealership. (Unless you could find a way for them to deliver both the vehicle and paperwork to your door, but that's unlikely.)
Thanks for the responses, let me clarify. I am interested in buying a car without leaving my home. I am looking for a site that will allow me to check dealer inventories, get credit reports, financing rates, insurance rates, select options, purchase the vehicle and have it delivered to my house. Is there such a site around that you guys know about? Thanks in advance.

Boy, you want it all huh?
The last two times I bought, I started with the internet but I still had to go to the store and confront the big bad wolf.
Inventories: Go to the individual dealer’s sites and check their inventory. Keep in mind they’re not always up to date.
Credit reports: Go to any of the credit reporting agencies. You can get it there but you will have to pay for it. At least that’s what I’ve been told so don’t hold me to this since I’m a cash buyer.
Financing rates: They’re all over the place; even here at Edmunds.
Insurance rates: How about your own company for starters; also, same as above.
Selected options: Check them here at Edmunds. Go to a dealer and get a brochure. Again, beware of the big bad wolf; they don’t always give you one without wanting to talk to you first. They pay for these things and I've heard they're charged around $5 for them so they at least deserve a, "Hi, I'm not buying today but this will help me decide and if I'm still interested, I'll be back". Just between us, they hate those dreaded words, "I'LL BE BACK" but you have to be honest.
Purchase the vehicle and have it delivered to my house: Ah, now, this won’t come cheap. Pay MSRP (might even have to move up to a high end machine) and forget about almost all of the above.

While there are brokers and dealers that will do this, I would counsel against it.
Unless you know exactly 100% what car you want, there is a reason why dealers have inventories.
There is nothing wrong with getting quotes over the internet, but it is always best to see the cars in person. Colors, options, models, there is alot to choose from. I can't tell you how many people came in to my store with one car in mind,and left in a different one. Buying a car is a big decision and you should avail yourself of all resources, including the dealer.
Autonationdirect is something I may use to purchase my car - anyone have any experience dealing using it? Is there another full service website like it?

Wow that sounds like a great website. :surprise:
Let me go check them out and see how they are!
Is there another full service website like it?
Yes... Dealer websites will be able to help you. At one point or another you will be paying someone for thier services of helping you buy a car. I'll bet you $100 it will be cheaper to buy it from a dealer. The dealer will probably clean you r car and get it registered for you. :surprise:
haha just noticed... not my intent.. I'll try it again. thanks for the feedback.
silbergrau,
I just checked out you Autonation...
I checked out there prices. You can definateley get a better deal in a dealership. Heck the price they are selling Altimas for I'll deliver it to your house also.
I noticed that autonation is only located in the South east... No surprise there. Good luck
Are you actually reading ANY of these responses to your post? Everyone has recommended against using these brokers and told you how to do it on your own.

Why don't most dealers list any of the options on their new cars? When I am researching I move on to the next dealer if they don't list the options.
I just searched the new inventory on 10 BMW dealers and only 2 of them had any options at all listed.

Unless you know exactly 100% what car you want, there is a reason why dealers have inventories.
There is nothing wrong with getting quotes over the internet, but it is always best to see the cars in person.
Colors, options, models, there is alot to choose from.
I can't tell you how many people came in to my store with one car in mind,and left in a different one.
Buying a car is a big decision and you should avail yourself of all resources, including the dealer.
That's what I love about these boards...
Someone is always ready to give a differant angle of a situation

Wow that sounds like a great website. :surprise:
Let me go check them out and see how they are!
Is there another full service website like it?
Yes... Dealer websites will be able to help you. At one point or another you will be paying someone for thier services of helping you buy a car. I'll bet you $100 it will be cheaper to buy it from a dealer. The dealer will probably clean you r car and get it registered for you. :surprise:
Good Luck!

silbergrau,
I just checked out you Autonation...
I checked out there prices. You can definateley get a better deal in a dealership. Heck the price they are selling Altimas for I'll deliver it to your house also.
I noticed that autonation is only located in the South east... No surprise there. Good luck

So it is a dealership?....
That would make sense. I googled the website sh/he said and that was what I got. :confuse:
Thanks
