9 fees to NEVER pay a car dealership. Tips on car buying, how to negotiate, and how to buy a car.

Bro. KILLLLLLLLED it today at the dealer. He about lost his mind when we said we arent paying the doc fee. We had been there hours. He said there was "no way...every dealer has a doc fee...." I said it's a nothing fee, take it off or we leave. He snatched the paper off the table and we got up and drove way. He called within 2 minutes....we went back and he said we would split it. I said no we wont. And he took it off. He was big mad

I spent 8 years at a Chevy dealership. This man speaks the truth.

1. Delivery/ destination few 2.advertising fees 3. Theft protection aka data dodge 4. Nitrogen 5. Pinstripe and decals 6. ADM - Additional dealer markup 7.mudflats and other accessories 8. Credit life insurance 9. Temp Tags - dealer prep and gas

You should remake this video in 2024 and see if its the same lol

Next time I buy a car I'm a play this video loud!

Could you do a raw video of you going to a random dealership or even trying to purchase a used car from a private seller and use tatics we could use to haggle down prices

Literally watching all your videos before i go get a new car, and LEARNING SO MUCH!!! Dealerships are the most intimidating thing to me, as a 23yr old young woman. I feel like they can absolutely tell i have no idea what im doing and will try to take advantage of that. Ive spent the last week comparing deals online, doing my research, talking to my bank, and watching these videos!! I feel more prepared but still nervous lol. But so excited to get a new-used mom car😄

Pro-tip: If you want a Chevy, go buy from this man and save yourself some trouble. He can't argue with himself!

I heard Chevy Dude is in Witness Protection now for being a whistle blower. Thank you for you service!

My anxiety is through the roof when buying/negotiating for car. It makes me want to just not be bothered and keep my current car.

The fact that he did this video at an actual dealership while ripping them apart amazes me! Porb one of the most useful videos I’ve ever watched on Yt

I bought a car Saturday and used all of Chevy dudes tips (I watched almost all of his videos). I negotiated for hours, got $5000 off by spotting bullshit fees and bringing up the survey, and walked out with the car I wanted at the price I wanted

Okay note for later.. Don’t pay: destination fees (unless you have the car shipped directly to you), advertising fees, vin etching/theft protection, nitrogen air, minor enhancements (pinstripes) for used cars, additional dealer markup (don’t pay over msrp), unwanted accessories, credit life insurance, dealer prep

Don't talk in a test drive. You will be distracted. Drive in silence as if you are with yourself. When you're driving by yourself you notice things more and when something seems a bit off. Concentrate.

I totally disagree with you on the dealer processing fee! I was buying a used F150 and the dealer wanted $200 "documentation fee" explaining that it paid for the girls in the office to process the paperwork. I asked how many cars per month this dealer typically sells and the reply was 200-225. I asked him who makes $45,000 a month in the back office? (225 x $200). I got it reduced, but they refused to eliminate it. I believe "dealer processing fees" or "doc fees" are a complete rip off!

Dude. Thanks. My son is serving on active duty in the Army and is wanting to purchase a new vehicle. Your tips have saved him and I from making a $10k dollar mistake. The local dealership that “caters to active duty soldiers” added a $5k fee to the msrp because of a “shortage of inventory”, another $1800 fee for dealer prep, another $800 for processing fee, $899 for “ceramic coating”, $999 for nitrogen filled tires. All of this while advertising on Car Gurus for 10k below MSRP with manufacturer rebates. Once the buyers order was presented, I began to ask questions about each fee and what that fee was for. This sent both the sales person and his manager into a scramble. The dealership refused to negotiation beyond removing the nitrogen and the ceramic coating. I then presented them with the Car Gurus snapshot that even showed them the exact vin number for the truck we wanted to purchase to justify what my requests were to remove the additional fees. Needless to say we walked away from the deal. Dealerships are on every corner in towns surrounding our military bases and it’s sad to feel that they are almost bordering on predatory lending to our service men and women. So I wanted to say thank you for the content you provide that allowed me to know when to walk away. Greatly appreciate what you’re doing.

Hey man, I really appreciate this video. It was extremely helpful as I was a first-time car buyer. I just bought a car at a Toyota Dealership two weeks ago and they tried to sell me everything that you mentioned in this video. I told them exactly what you said. They then walked me over to a car and tried to show me "See this car has tint, it has this door handle protection, and the nitrogen aired tires which isn't free for the dealership. This is stuff our customers usually want so we put it on every car and therefore that's what those fees are." I respectfully told them "I truly believe that should be included with the cost of the car, and therefore I won't be able to make a deal unless those fees are taken off." He then said "Well let me go talk with the owner of the dealership and see if I can do that." He came back within 5 minutes and said "You're lucky, we got them taken off for you." This video seriously saved me 4,000 dollars off these crazy bogus fees! Yes seriously, FOUR THOUSAND! I could tell by the look on their faces that they weren't happy with it, but I guess that's how I know I truly got the best deal I could've gotten. So thank you so very much for this video!

I believe that now is the time to start building up your future , one thing people don’t understand is it’s never too late to start somewhere , usually I got for top ROIs and that was how Linux tech corps was discovered

Thank you for this data. Not all people are comfortable with the finance person and we know dealerships have taken advantage of this for generations.

Just stumbled on your channel and videos today and wow… per your advice, I did not disclose any information that I had regarding fees because I had a trade-in. Waited for them to give me a good trade in value and then hit them with the “We’re not paying accessory fees or prep fees” and it’s like the life just left the salesman. Ultimately everything you suggested worked. Thank you for taking the time to make these videos.
