So, you’re looking to buy a car? Strap in, because you’re about to embark on a ride more twisty than a soap opera plotline. Picture this: you walk into a dealership with a spring in your step, dreams of new-car smell wafting in your mind. But what you get instead is a dance more elaborate than a Broadway show.
First, there's the “Greet and Redirect,” like Kittenfishing in online dating followed by the “Finance Tango,” where they juggle numbers like circus clowns, making you wonder if PT Barnum is running the show.
But wait, the show isn’t over! Enter the “Package,” where every question about features leads to a maze of add-ons and upcharges. By the end, you’re left dazed, confused, and clutching a contract that seems longer than Zelda’s boa constrictor.
Too many car dealerships have a less than stellar reputation. Rona’s car buying disappointment is a tale that echoes the tiring journey people have experienced.
In this episode, Rona’s shares why she’ll never return to that dealership again. Spoiler alert: it wasn’t just bad business; it was a comedy show for suckers. And Jeffrey breaks down the tactics of the dealership and why it may be so common.
Rona and Jeffrey believe it’s time for dealerships to adjust to the new world and leave unpleasant habits behind.
This was Biz-Souls second livestreamed episode.
