Fairly brilliant con. I bet you can get at least a few socials from the morons who patronize SAL.
Assume they tried to take your credit app directly?
He would get more victims with sub $300 minivan or Tahoe, even a $150 taco, just enough to be almost real but still really cheap.
He doesnât need identities of low-to-sub-700 scores and lower incomes.

Take a look at the lives of âsub $300 minivan or Tahoeâ drivers and tell me if thatâs the crime spree youâd do.

Not wanting to put too much thought into this illegal activity but I wouldnât care too much about their lifestyle. Iâd care about the likelihood of getting usable info and the amount I could gain. I think there is more volume potential in the sub $300 than say a $1k GT3. Maybe Iâm wrong because itâs the GT3 that is posted.
They are probably fishing for people who got rich quick and arenât paying close attention to their finances, credit reports, etc.
I hope not. But it looks like the listings were removed today
Cmon stop being greedy. Youâre literally taking food off their kidsâ plates.

Salesperson should have just said thatâs my deal by the 3rd text and save you both the time.

I would have stopped after the Okay. Dude/tte from the dealer decided nope, Iâm gonna have final say!

Here is how I politely say no. It is super easy and I am happy to have dealerships pay me as a consultant to teach it.

what I donât understand is who do these tactics work on and I mean from both sides? Phrases like âthatâs below my costâ, âtaking food away from my kidsâ, âtell me where Iâll buy it from them myself cackle cackleâ or from the customerâs side "I saw it somewhere else for ".

We get people that come through here all the time that say âwell, the salesman said that he was doing me a gigantic favor by coming down to $500 under MSRP and any less was taking money from his daughterâs college fund, so I know this is a great deal at $550, since heâll have to skip dinner tonight.â
Itâs all an effort to personalize the interaction and make it emotional.

Maybe I should start working with crappier dealers, havenât had the opportunity to use my âthat sounds like a you problem, not a me problemâ line.

I just had one sales guy go off on a phone saying to me: âItâs simple math - how could the payment you want make sense when if I take depreciation, and divide it by number of months, itâs already more than what you want, without taxes and fees and rent charge?!?!â
He was substracting RV from MSRP to get his depreciation number

Did you get petty and reply âThatâs why youâre not in finance?â

Yeah, didnât really want to engage him, we were supposedly waiting on SM to pick up, and sales guy was just trying to âenlightenâ me on my screwy ways⌠SM never came to the call, and hasnât called back yet as sales guy saidâŚ
He isnât going to call you 
And that is ok, part of the dance. Their loss of loser deal = their gain
