Man Goes To The Dealership To Buy A New Car. Then He Asks To Have His Own Mechanic Check It Out: 'Aggressive Or Pushy?'

A used-car dealership owner stirred some controversy by venting about a customer who got pre-approved on a truck, drove it to his own mechanic for an inspection, came back to negotiate, and then walked away to “sleep on it.”

The dealer’s question for other people in the industry was whether he should have pushed harder to close.

The buyer in this case offered a near-textbook example of how a consumer should buy a used car, and it’s notable that the dealer in the video lets it happen without a fight.

The 1-minute, 46-second video was posted last week by Autobahn Prestige Motors (@autobahn_prestige_motors), a small used-car dealership in Bangor, Pennsylvania whose channel posts short workday vignettes from the owner.

The caption asked, “Aggressive or pushy?”
