You know this because you stole them?

how to bargain?

Walk away

Invest in a grammar book.

"at least 4 somewhat flashy and expensive optional tires removed."

Are these on your walker, or your wheelchair?

I would tell them that you want either the original wheels and tires, or the value of those wheels and tires put against the PRE TAX purchase price.

The last two days of the month are the best days to buy a car. Start a few weeks before and narrow it down to a few. Find the most inept/newest salesperson to deal with when you are shopping. Get a hold of the black book (Average auction prices in your area for cars by year model accessories condition, etc.) Give them a take it or leave it offer 3 days before the end of the month about $100 over black book for the book trade in value of the car. They will turn you down. Then walk, but before you do, tell them you might be willing to to come back for that price and hand the salesperson your number. About 1/3rd of the time you get the call.

Why this works: Quotas. Salespeople have quotas and if they havnt met their quota the sales manager will very very often cut them a break and let a car go at about cost. Have bought a half dozen vehicles this way and just about stolen them.

This only works for used vehicles.

The only way to bargain with a car dealer is to make an offer.

There are two things you should know:

1. New cars are the most competitive high-ticket items sold. Any dealer can get you the exact same thing. Unless there is a convenience aspect to location, you can negotiate with any number at once until someone gives you a bid you like.

2. Unless you either pay cash or have previously arranged your own financing, every cent you think you negotiated them down in the sales office, they will get back in the finance office.

Negotiate?

Man, walk away and go find another truck.

You're dealing with some dishonest people.

The engine is probably “stolen” too. Or the truck was flooded or something.

Top offer: scrap or pass to bigger sucker.

Have you considered public transportation as an option?

The new municipal buses are supposed to be really quite convenient!

Also, biking might be a viable alternative for you. Those new bike lanes offer a high degree of safety.

I just can't understand why anyone would want to spend as much as two thousand dollars for a smelly motor vehicle where there are safer, and environmentally cleaner, alternatives.

And besides: Right now, during the Covid Crisis, do you really have any legitimate reason to leave your home?

Regards,

Bait and switch: eeets against the law. And too much trouble. Complain to someone on that Google page and move on. Let them deal with it. Don't waste your time.

You seem to know a lot about it.
Did you do it?

LOL

another idea is that i could offer them a slightly lower price AND ALSO refuse to close the deal unless they order and replace the original factory tires with exact equivalents.

those optional tires are probably overpriced to begin with which might be why the dealer is punting on replacing them. this is in the sense that there seems to be a factory markup on many otherwise ordinary looking parts, not to mention fancy optional parts. i have an instinctive dislike of optional factory so called fashionable chrome bling on a pickup truck... ugh...

(another thing i was told was that thieves were stealing tires from the dealer... apparently it is difficult to catch the thieves... yikes...)

About all you can do is make an offer and give them your telephone number. Trucks are high profit items these days. A buddy of mine couldn’t get a dealer to budge on the truck he really wanted, so he bought a different model elsewhere.

Maybe Santa will put this in your stocking if you’ve been a good bounty.
