I CAN'T BELIEVE They Took Back My $4,500 Discount...
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.
They IGNORED ME Then Charged THOUSANDS In Markup?!
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.
This Dealership Charged HOW MUCH?! (So Many Add-Ons)
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.
Throwback: Salesperson SAYS WHAT DURING NEGOTIATION!?
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.
Throwback: HEATED ARGUMENT with Sales Person Goes WRONG?
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.
I CAUGHT this Dealer Trying to HIDE the REAL Price
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.
Is ANYONE Buying This Car?!
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.
Dealership Charging RECORD BREAKING MARKUP on Civic Type R
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...
Saleswoman Calls Me SEXIST Over a Car Deal?! (I'm shocked)
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.
Throwback: Shady Dealer LIES about $20k DISCOUNT
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.
Throwback: HEATED ARGUMENT with Dealer About Price
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.
The Dealership was SUED?!?!
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!
I CAUGHT the Dealer Red-Handed
I called dealerships across the country trying to lock in a real deal, but once I started asking for numbers, things got weird fast. Between deposit demands, changing stories, and salesmen dodging the price, this call shows why buying a car feels impossible sometimes. Watch how I push back, break down the math, and show you exactly how these deals really work.
Throwback: CRAZIEST MOMENTS of 2024 Car Negotiations
2024 was packed with some of the most heated car negotiations I've ever been a part of. From challenging a dealership that denied its own online sales policy to exposing shady markups or pinning dealerships against each other to secure the best deal, this video dives into the most explosive moments of the year. Buckle up — this is negotiation at its finest.
Manager TALKED TRASH
In this Ford Lightening Platinum negotiation, I have to convince the dealer that his car really isn't that special, and when he thinks I haven't answered the phone he TALKED TRASH. I didn't hear it at the time, unfortunately. Somehow we got a deal done anyways.
Throwback: Shady Dealer's BAIT AND SWITCH Exposed
Dealing with car dealerships can feel like a never-ending headache, and this video shows exactly why. My employee Troy negotiates for a Kia Sportage, only to face painfully slow responses, shady tactics, and outright gaslighting from a manager who denies their own advertised discount. The dealership pulls a classic bait-and-switch, claiming a $2,000 discount isn’t real despite it being listed on their website. It turns out not much has changed since January 6th, 2025.
Why Is Buying This TRUCK So TOUGH?! ($30K Above MSRP)
I spent this entire stream hunting down one of the hardest trucks to buy in America: the Ford F-150 Raptor R. Dealer after dealer either had nothing available or tried to justify $25K–$30K over MSRP like it was normal. I walk you through the real Raptor R market, why $10K over is actually considered a “good deal,” and how quickly things change once a dealer realizes who they’re talking to. If you want to see how markups really work and why some trucks are nearly impossible to negotiate this one tells the whole story.
Dealerships WENT TO WAR to Make This Deal
Just when things start to feel hopeless, we get into a bidding war with multiple dealers fighting to give me the most money off this F150 King Ranch. This is a PERFECT example of how competition drives the price down. I negotiate car deals and often do it daily on my live streams. You definitely don't want to miss the action.
Throwback: DEALER has HEATED ARGUMENT Over Price
Let's revisit this episode from December 27, 2024 when I negotiated a deal on a 4Runner TRD Pro Package, starting at a steep $72,000. I break down every move, explain my strategy, and give you insider tips on navigating the high-stakes world of car buying. From competitive pricing comparisons to securing a final deal at $63,500, this is a masterclass in negotiation you can’t afford to miss.
Throwback: Rude Salesperson GETS FIRED
Ever been treated poorly by a car dealer? In this video, I help a client who was previously told by rude dealers to 'go get your husband’ when negotiating on a Honda Pilot. Insane. After securing 8% off in Vegas I pushed for more in L.A. However, things escalated when a sales rep rudely hung up on me after demanding my client be physically present within 60 minutes — despite it being impossible as she was in Utah. After reaching the General Sales Manager, he apologized and was able to provide a competitive price. Later I gave the sales rep’s name, and the GSM responded, 'I have a new janitor'. Watch as this rude employee faces the consequences of their actions and loses their job from this video from December 18, 2024.
This Salesman DIDN'T KNOW I Was STILL LISTENING?! (I caught them)
This is why car buying feels impossible. Fake discounts, “non-optional” accessories, and a real negotiation caught live. Watch how the numbers change once you stop playing along.
Was This a Bait and Switch?!?! (I was CONFUSED)
I’m shopping a 2026 Nissan Armada Pro-4X and calling dealerships across the country, expecting the usual runaround. Instead, I got a day full of solid salespeople who actually knew their stuff and were willing to talk numbers. It shouldn’t be this rare but here we are.
CHAT CHOSE THE CAR I NEGOTIATE!! Can I Still Get $10,000 OFF?!
Chat chose Lexus… I hunted down an NX 350 Premium, got hit with the “pre-sold” runaround, then one dealer recognized me and dropped a $4,000 discount with no funny business. We locked in and saved the client time, stress, and money.
Throwback: Shady Dealer LIES ABOUT DISCOUNTS
Back on December 2, 2024, I called a dealership about a 2024 Cadillac Escalade Sport and ran into major confusion with their pricing and discount offers. First, they told me I didn’t qualify for certain discounts, then later confirmed I did — only to quote me an out-the-door price WAY higher than expected!
How NOT to Sell a Mazda (Every Call was Painful)
I hunted down a rare manual Mazda 3 with red seats and asked one simple question: can you beat 10% off? Instead of negotiating, dealers pushed me into their “start your deal” system like I wasn’t a real person on the phone... you don't want to miss this one!
