I’ve been negotiating with several dealers for the past week and I’m getting to the point where the dealers are wanting me to forward them offer emails from the other dealers. I’ve already sent a redacted email but I’m not sure if I’m comfortable with forwarding the whole email. Would they start con…

GM of dealer 2 called the GM of dealer 1 to complain that he was giving too good a deal LOL what? Isn’t that collusion as stated above?

The moral of the story is that people suck, and we have people both buying and selling cars. It’s a recipe for mass sucking.

Exactly. In my case I think it was a combination of things. It was the possibility of losing the sale to someone else (the dealer who provided the “quote”), me presenting the numbers with a “if you can match this, call me to take a credit card deposit”, and showing them how the deal would actually b…
