Mike Brewer's Worst Things to Say to a Car Dealer

The only reason mike brewer stole cars from the people he brought them off is because putting some one in front of a camera and telling them its worth twice as little as they are wanting for it. Is because putting some poor sod in front of a camera that is being put on the spot and making them look stupid. No wonder he got a good deal.
I always felt bad for the people that had to deal with mike brewer because he is one of those car dealers who robs from innocent people.

You ask for money off on wheeler dealers whats the difference 🤔 I think your full of crap

Yes Mr Brewer
Your fall of it ( I am a wheeler dealer) I am going in with my size 10s .
That’s what you say ….. and you add up what you paid for the car and spent on it.
Never adding up the labour charges and saying you had a profit when you didn’t.
We aren’t dummies.

Car dealers are notoriously bent .. and will often look to tuck people up if the situation presents itself, it’s the women who often have the worst experiences, and the warranties that come with the cars are about as good as a hole in a kayak! The only warranties worth having are the manufacturers warranties 👍 always look to extend these if you can … car dealers for the most part are about as likeable as the Tax Man or an Estate Agent … Exactly 😏

From my experience I wouldn’t even trust a car dealer to give the correct time of the day.

A little bit less for your px about half in some cases

NEVER tell a dealer "I want to spend "'X amount'" per month. I will guarantee you will spend that amount, even if you could buy the car for half that price. Go to your bank, credit union, etc., get a price from the dealer, ask what THEIR terms are, make your decision. After the dealer offers HIS terms, you can reveal your other options. It doesn't hurt to see if he can offer the better deal. They often can... but go in knowing your options.

I get the impression that this video is all about not upsetting the dealer,well let me tell you,I've dealt with a few very offensive dealers in my time, who give the impression that the customer is an idiot, who has not done their homework. They have patronised, been downright rude and told bare-faced lies,which seems a very strange way of endearing themselves to customers, and I'm not talking about some grotty little garage,I've experienced this behaviour at main dealerships. As Australian Car expert John Cadogan says, whenever you walk into a dealership,the clocks on the wall only tell one time i.e. 'bulls**t o'clock' ! So be warned if in doubt walk away. I personally like to buy my cars from home,yes I will go to the dealership,to look over the car, and maybe take a test drive it, but I will not commit to anything in the showroom. I will negotiate from home i.e. on home turf. In this way,a prospective buyer cannot have pressure applied to them.they can say I'll think about it and if the dealer is serious they will call back. Keep the advantage on your side of the deal, and remember if you miss out on a car,there's always another one.

Great host.. but morbidly obese. Very bad. He needs to shed 1/2 his body weight. Please

Mein brewer,you are a meglamanic and you work your mechanics to death!

Absolutely nonsense advice I bought cars with aggressive attitude and got 100's off window price be hard be tough it's your money

Wow just Wow,

What a hypocritical human being Mike Brewer is😮
I hear defensive response. You are exactly a dealer yourself and on wheeler dealers, everyone knows for a fact dealers bargain with the person they are buying the car from in the first place and not many people do pay asking price it’s in everyone’s DNA to try for a lower price. It’s the same way around. Some Car dealers are con men end of, so please don’t protect them and be honest yourself and understand our situations as well

You always offered half what the seller was asking for on Wheeler dealers.

This video is a complete waste of time. It’s targeting how to make the dealers life easier not the buyer. Probably because the author of the video is car dealer himself!!!

Comparing buying a loaf in a supermarket and buying a car is just stupid, they are vastly different, car dealers are always trying to read you and if you give them too much info and are too open with them then they have you, so don’t take us for mugs, we know how you guys operate, we know you are trying to make money but we’re not stupid, i’m not going in there saying i want a car for £300/month….. you’ve now got me

Fair enough, Mike, but how about telling car salesmen and their bosses to stop saying, "You've got yourself a cracking deal!" every time I buy a car from them?

Mike Brewer is the
best presentater/announcer.

Sounds one way Mike, be wary of these Mikes who take the Michael every way they can!

Went to buy a car yesterday at a main dealer, had cash, asked for £1500.00 off an asking price of £14500.00. Haha no chance. No I don’t want any of your 7 different warranties. Just want that shitty second hand car, that I have no idea where it’s been.

Don’t get me started on ‘let’s do a finance check’ ‘but I’m buying cash’ ‘oh it’s just to show we’ve done it’. No, it’s so you can sell me a finance deal/rental for 5 bloody years at 9.9%

Car dealers/estate agents, same thing in my book.

Don’t give a crap about the dealers feeling, no wonder online sales have increased. Car dealers are now for the old and or stupid.

Without watching, just do the opposite of whatever Mike says.

The trouble is so many dealers have the reputation of being horse traders and con men and renowned for ripping off women.
I recently helped a lady friend buy a Ford Fiesta Eco Boost B+O Car from a main Ford dealer. It was advertised with full spec including spare wheel, 12000 miles and full service. I asked to see the spare wheel along with a few other questions. Well there was no spare wheel which I knew because this model has the music equipment taking up the spare wheel area. These dealers just write any old crap to sell them. She bought it and after 8 months with milage now 18,000 miles had to spend over £1000 because the cataletic converter warning light came on after just after it had its service. This was not a warranty item ~ even after 18k miles!!!
Moral of the story is Ford Fiesta Eco Sports are a nightmare and expensive when they go wrong so avoid along with dealers. Buy privately and pay for an AA test to give a thorough inspection and save a fortune...

Brewer talking bollocks
Car dealers are the worst scammers ever

Car used dealers are gouging punters right now especially on cars that are 12 years old ridiculous

1. It’s a buyer’s market. Period. 2. If the deal’s not right, walk away. The end.

So... Basically pay what the dealer is asking??? Loads of poor advise here. I've bought motorbikes & cars, haggled hard and am ALWAYS ready to walk away if the dealer isn't helpful. This ain't a loaf of bread, it's thousands of pounds of hard earned cash!

Mike , a professional Opel dealer sold me
an oilburning Nissan Almera 4 years ago , with 80000 km on the odo .
It did 1 liter oil in 800 km .
And you expect me to trust cardealers ?

Car dealers are the worst kinda people anyways so they often deserve it. Ha!

My advise ??? If you know about cars do not buy a car from a car dealer, if you haven't got a clue about cars than go to a dealer with an expert.

As you point out ,you would not have to or expect to haggle over a loaf of bread, so why do you when buying a car. I dont enjoy the experience one little bit.

Why do you think this guy is fat? Because he has lots of your money.🤣

Never trust a car dealer,most are liars,they will tell you lies about every car,take a friend,who is a mechanic he is the best advice that's worth a million,these dealers ships know know nothing about cars,all they are after,is your money.

Point 2, not always true, I offered a very low price, stuck to it and got it.
What I did not know at the time was the dealership was about to close down.
Fantastic car, fantastic deal.

things dealers do to annoy people "when a women comes in they do tend to talk down to them"
when i went in with my wife ,and SHE wanted some info on a car ,they immediately tried to get paperwork out to sell her it .and then just talked to me ,instead of her .
i told him i dont know why your ignoring my wife ,ive got no interest in the car ,and got her to walk out .

Dealers wouldn't be so bad if they weren't so bloody hungry. They know it's more convenient for people to buy from them, but then they also pollute the marketplace by driving their salespeople to spamming the world and curbing garbage from home.

Finding a real car for sale by a real person who simply wants a reasonable price is made impossible, not just by the dealer's pollution and extortion of their employees, but by dealers/flippers/curbers hitting refresh and snapping up every reasonable car they can find, even if it only makes them 100 bucks.

There are just too many desperados, and all the reasonabe people get scared off and have now offloaded their car shopping to someone thick- skinned enough not to give a crap if they insult the seller. So your advice is never going to hit your target audience.

This is all made worse by new cars being actively made into elaborate copyright protected proprietary rolling debt instruments that you swap like a cell phone contract or risk financial ruin if you hang on to them 1 minute past warranty.
The waste should be criminalized.

So all the "model research" in the world is not gonna do one bit of good when every possible car under 10 years old (in 2021) is one glitchy connector or black box module away from an expensive lesson about why repair shops are the only part of a dealership that is worse than the finance guy.

Come on Mike. Your advice is sooo 1990-late.

A headlight is 300 to 1000 now.
And 25 year old 4runners are pushing 50k US! And first gen Mustangs are a better status symbol than a new car. Why? Because everything else is junk ("value engineered" to generate revenue for the manufacturer, or be tossed). Do you really think that people are going to just show up and be nice to a dealer when they are made even more desperate by all the eyeballs that are tracking every car and cutting margins to ziltch?

It is a hopeless situation on both sides. Being a car salesperson is the fastest way to find job that will compromise one's ethics.
But buying a car is a nightmare for working people that has zero upside. And you are asking them to soften their negotiations.

Thanks for nothing.

And thanks for going to bat the most abusive organization after the Catholic Church. Have you not seen the inside of a dealership in 40 years? What sort of person can possibly work in such a place, and still afford to have a conscience after a few months.

Your sympathies are misguided, and seem quite self-serving.

Car dealers good people......., John Cadogan will argue with you and will beat-kick you 24/7.

dealers offer really stupid partexs

From a used car
Salesman I can confirm they are trained to stitch you up the second they view the car you pull up in. We were trained to control and manipulate customers. If you didn’t meet your targets you were sacked.

I'm extremely disappointed with your comments about Edd - you slag/slate him for leaving Wheeler Dealers, yet Edd was nothing but a true gent wishing you and Ant well.
I myself felt the same about the programme - the change in format/production company totally ruined it. I have warmed to Ant but definitely preferred the old format.

Hey. I miss Ed on your show. He has a brilliant show of his own. Mike. Enjoy you too.

What's enjoyable about watching a car salesman counting his commission iv worked in car industry and car salesman are the worce kind of people

Great video but that background music is so annoying. Can you scrap it for next time please? I came here to listen to you Mike, not the music.

Don't offer a low price 😏But that's exactly what a car dealer will do to you

Never trust a car dealer. Nuff said.

Brewer's full of BS. He speaks from a dealer's perspective. The dealer is nor your friend, it's your enemy, it's there to rip you off.

How about pensioners discount Mike...possible tax beak there?

Where's Edd?

I love getting a new car allways felt like I'm getting a good deal and a good price for my old car a bit of back and 4th with dealer its great I allways no what I can get off by using these sites like car wow or equivalent and go to the kia dealer I like using wich is y I have bought 6 brand new cars from them I would like to say thanks to bmw for being the way the way they r now I can easily afford a nice one I'm saving a fortune 🤣

A loaf of bread isn't worth asking for a reduction on as it's 90p. Spending 20k+ on a car is ,and all dealers have 'wriggle room' and targeted prices for selling used, new or part ex , hence, why shouldn't a consumer ask for a reduction? Wheeler Dealers is the prime example, how many times have you seen Mike paying for a car advertised at the full rate and not negotiate..? 🤔
