The Price Isn’t Right: Car Negotiations w/ Delivrd

I'm calling Ford dealerships across Texas to negotiate a deal on a new Ranger Raptor, but one salesman takes things a little too far. Between questionable claims about insurance, expensive add-ons, and insisting we can't negotiate over the phone, I finally have to call him out.Watch as I break down these dealership sales tactics and show why you should always question what a car salesman tells you.

I called 8 Ram dealerships to negotiate a deal on a 2026 Ram Rebel 2500. One wouldn’t budge on a truck sitting for 300+ days. Another got loud when I asked for $10,000 off.Watch real truck-buying negotiations covering dealer discounts, rebates, extra fees, and the debate over buying locally versus out of state.

What started as a normal negotiation for a 2026 Ford F-150 Raptor quickly turned into something I wasn't expecting.While trying to work out a deal, a salesperson accused me of illegally wiretapping our phone call and even threatened to pursue legal action against me. All because I was trying to negotiate a car deal over the phone.Watch as a simple car-buying conversation takes a wild turn when the dealership starts bringing up legal threats instead of talking numbers.

Car dealers keep recognizing my voice, so I decided it was time to go undercover. Meet Dale Liverd.This time, I’m negotiating for a Toyota Tacoma TRD Off-Road under a fake name to see if I can actually get through a car deal without being recognized. Between the endless questions, strange sales tactics, and a dealer treating car shopping like a game of Guess Who, things get pretty entertaining.Will Dale Liverd finally get a deal, or are the dealers catching on?

I’m calling around to negotiate a 2026 Honda Pilot Elite, but apparently my voice is giving me away! I’m just trying to get some numbers, and these salespeople are trying to figure out if they’ve got Tomi on the phone. Staying anonymous is getting harder, but I’ve still got a deal to negotiate...

Two callers called my service a SCAM, so I gave them the chance to tell me why. Is paying someone to negotiate your car deal a waste of money? We get into what I actually do for buyers, why these callers think it’s unnecessary, and where we REALLY disagree. These debates got heated!

There’s a LOT of car buying advice on the internet, and some of it is just plain terrible. I’m breaking down some of the WORST advice I could find, explaining where it goes wrong, and sharing what I’d actually do instead.

I’m calling around to negotiate a 2026 Honda Pilot Touring for a client, but these SoCal Honda dealers already know who I am, and they’re not exactly excited to hear from me. Knowing my name is one thing. Agreeing on a price? That’s a whole different conversation.

I called a Subaru dealer to negotiate a deal on a new 2026 Uncharted GT, but getting a price turned into a whole ordeal. He was so worried I’d shop his numbers around that we spent more time talking about HIS concerns than the car. Apparently, asking how much you want for the vehicle is asking too much. Bless your heart.
