    Dealer's INSANE Policy FORCED Me To Walk Away From the GX550?!

    In this video I call dealership after dealership hunting down a 2026 Lexus GX550 for my client. What I ran into was one of the craziest dealer policies I have ever seen in my career...

    Dealer TRIES TO ADD $4,000 of MARKUP on a HYUNDAI!!

    I'm negotiating a 2026 Hyundai Palisade Hybrid Calligraphy live for a client in Texas but there's one problem: the dealer refuses to budge unless I agree to a $4,000 protection package I never asked for. Watch as a sales manager argues with me for 30 minutes trying to justify why I can't get a discount without keeping their add-ons. The GM overrules him and approves the deal anyway with $3,000 off and zero package.

    TERRIBLE Dealership HUNG UP Twice and It BACKFIRED on Them

    I called a Genesis dealership to negotiate a GV70 for a client. The salesman argued with me over the stock number, told me the car was sold, and hung up. So I called back, got a different rep, and landed $3,500 off with no dealer add ons.This is what happens when a dealership forgets that the customer can just call back.If you want someone to handle this for you, link in bio. Flat fee. No stress.

    Porsche Saleswoman LOSES HER MIND on my WORST CALL EVER

    My client wanted a Porsche Macan GTS in Chalk. Only 21 of them in the entire country. Called dealer after dealer and got the same answer. MSRP. Non negotiable. Take it or leave it.Then we found the one. $111,000 Porsche. 10% off on the table. The deal was basically done but that's when she lost her mind. 40 minutes of the worst call I have had in three years and 30,000 dealerships. You have to see this one to believe it!

  5. 81

    Shady Dealer CAUGHT Hiding Inventory From Me

    My client wanted a 2026 Honda CRV EXL AWD for her birthday. Simple deal. Called a dealer — they told me it wasn't available meanwhile I'm looking at 7 of them on their website...That's when the fun started.

  6. 80

    Haters POSTED About Me Online So I Found Them

    Dealerships have been talking about me on Facebook. A lot. So instead of ignoring it, I decided to do something about it. I tracked down every salesperson who made a public post trashing my service and called them live...not to argue, but to try to buy cars from them!Some of them weren't in. Some of them couldn't be found. And one of them had no idea he was about to be on a live stream. What you're watching is what happens when the people who say I'm bad for the industry have to actually do business with me.If you've ever wondered why someone would pay $1,000 to not talk to a dealership, this video is your answer.

    LAZY Dealer Hides Behind Franchise Laws - But I WON!

    I'm negotiating a 2026 Hyundai Palisade Hybrid Calligraphy for a client in Ohio. The target is $3,000 off. Some dealers in this market are still trying to sell above sticker. Others are hiding behind limited inventory as an excuse not to move. Watch as I call dealership after dealership until one finally does the right thing. But this video isn't just about one deal, It's about why getting a fair price on a car is harder than it should be. Franchise laws protect dealers from real competition. When a middleman doesn't have to earn your business, they won't.

  8. 78

    Greedy Dealer MARKS UP My Money Factor Then ADMITS It on Camera?!

    In this video, I negotiate a lease deal for a client. I teach you why it is important to ask about the money factor - this lease payment was NOT what it was supposed to be. I negotiate car deals and often do it daily on my live streams. You definitely don't want to miss the action.

  9. 77

    Dismissive Dealer HUNG UP on Me, And Then Regretted It

    I negotiate over 200 car deals a month, and this one had everything. I called dealership after dealership on a 2027 Kia Telluride XPro SX Prestige, got hung up on, put on hold, and told $2,500 off MSRP was impossible. So I kept dialing. Once dealers figured out they were competing for my business, the offers started changing fast. No trade, clean purchase, and by the end of the day my client had an aggressive deal on one of the hottest SUVs on the market. Watch how I do it and steal every tactic for your next negotiation.

  10. 76

    Throwback: Heated Argument with a Dealership over a TOYOTA!?

    In today's insane video, I decided to call a car dealership and try to negotiate a price over the phone. But guess what? The salesperson was NOT having it! 😤 We went back and forth with some seriously heated moments as they kept pushing me to COME TO THE STORE instead of just giving me a deal. 🙄 It got CRAZY! You won’t believe how far it went… 🤯

  11. 75

    My Client Almost Paid $3,700 MORE for WORSE Service

    One of my clients hired someone else first.They didn't feel special. They didn't feel like that person was working for them. They felt like they were being pushed toward a worse deal. So they let that person go and they hired me.We needed a 2025 Mazda CX-5 Turbo Premium in Rhodium White. Specific car. Specific client. No room for games. I called four dealerships. Some couldn't get the rebate right. Some wouldn't move off a bad number. One had been trying to get my business for months.Guess which one got the deal.$39,000 out the door. No drama. No added garbage. Just a clean number and a client who finally felt like someone was actually working for him.

  12. 74

    Salesman ADDS Markup When He Realizes Who I Am

    I'm negotiating a Genesis GV70 live for a client in New York but there's one problem: every dealer I call knows exactly who I am before I can even start. Watch as an entire dealership freaks out mid-call when they realize they're on live with thousands of people watching. Indiana saves the day again with $7,580 off while local dealers can't even come close.

  13. 73

    Rude Salesman LAUGHS at My Offer Then CALLS BACK BEGGING

    Tomi is on a mission to get $1,500 off a 2026 Toyota RAV4 and he's not stopping until someone says yes. After calling dealership after dealership and getting laughed at, dismissed, and told it's impossible, one salesman makes a big mistake. Watch how persistence and knowing your number beats every dealer tactic they throw at you..

    The Truth About Kia Deals Right Now - Market Update

    Thinking about buying a Kia? Before you walk into a dealership, you need to know what you should actually be paying. I'm breaking down every major Kia model, what's worth it, what to skip, and the real discount ranges you should expect by region. And yes, we're talking Telluride.

  15. 71

    7 Toyota Dealers, 1 Trick Saved $8,500 on a SIENNA!

    A dealer told me the Toyota Sienna "can't be negotiated." So I called 7 of them across the Pacific Northwest on a 2026 Sienna XLE. I break down exactly how I went from $6,500 above MSRP on the first call to $2,000 below MSRP on the last one — an $8,500 difference. You'll hear every markup justification, every "that's just market value" deflection, and the exact moment dealers start competing against each other for the business. If you've ever been told a hot car has no deals, this is exactly how you prove them wrong.

  16. 70

    Toyota Market Update - March 2026

    Before you buy a Toyota, you need to watch this. I negotiate over 200 car deals every single month, nationwide, and I'm breaking down every single Toyota on the market right now so you know exactly what a real deal looks like before you step foot in a dealership.I'm going model by model, region by region. I'm telling you what cars you can get crazy deals on right now, what cars to wait on, and what cars you should just walk away from.Don't pay MSRP. Don't let a dealer tell you this is the best they can do. I'll show you exactly what you should be paying.

    Throwback: Manager DEMANDS to Speak to Me

    We are going to find and negotiate a new Toyota Grand Highlander Hybrid Platinum Max. What felt like mission impossible, turned into something possible? I negotiate car deals and often do it daily on my live streams. You definitely don't want to miss the action.

  18. 68

    They Put HOW MUCH Markup on a 2027 Kia Telluride?!?

    I called 7 dealerships trying to buy a 2027 Kia Telluride. What I found will make your blood boil. One dealer wanted 32% ABOVE MSRP. Another lied about a lifetime warranty, live on the phone. This is why people hate buying cars.

  19. 67

    Toyota Salesman CRACKED When I Tried WHAT?!

    I called 4 dealerships today trying to get $2,000 off a 2026 RAV4 XLE Premium, and most of them weren't having it. After a 10 minute metaphorical handshake, a stubbed pinky, some mom wisdom, and a drum roll, I walked away with $1,750 off MSRP on a Blueprint XLE Premium with the weather package and our biggest RAV4 discount yet at $40,500 out the door. The market is shifting and dealerships are starting to move on price, so if you're shopping for a RAV4 right now, this one's worth watching!

  20. 66

    I EXPOSED This Kia Dealership's Bait & Switch!

    I call multiple Kia dealerships to negotiate the price of a brand-new 2027 Kia Telluride for a client. I quickly run into the tactics buyers hate most. From scripted BDC gatekeeping to hidden add-ons and questionable pricing, the calls reveal exactly why so many people dread buying a car. Instead of playing the dealership games, I make dealers compete against each other live to find the best deal. After pushing back on markups and hidden fees, one dealership finally caves and the Telluride deal gets done.

    Throwback: The WORST Car Buying Mistakes You Are Probably Making

    There is a lot of misinformation out there when it comes to buying a car. I want to give you 5 pieces of car buying advice from the internet that you should absolutely avoid.

    Clueless Salesman has a COMPLETE MELTDOWN Over the Phone

    I called a dealership to buy a 2026 GMC Yukon AT4 and asked for their best price. What should’ve been a quick conversation turned into a 30-minute argument with a salesman who kept dodging the question. After being told he talked to the manager, I called back to find out what was really going on. This is what happens when a simple car deal turns into complete chaos.

  23. 63

    Employee Call REACTION - He Lost His Cool

    In this episode, we audit a real Delivrd negotiation call between our negotiator Michael and a local dealership. Things escalate fast once we mention a better out-of-state offer and the conversation takes a turn.

  24. 62

    Dealership Manager HANGS UP ON ME For What?!

    I call dealership after dealership trying to lock down a 2027 Kia Telluride and run into everything from $10K markups to ridiculous add-on menus and mid-call hang-ups. What starts as “we’re firm at MSRP” quickly turns into competition-driven price drops once real offers hit the table. This episode breaks down how dealers test the market, how to push back, and how I ultimately gets $2,000 off a brand new Telluride by forcing them to compete.

  25. 61

    Throwback: Car Dealers HATE When You Know This.....

    Dealerships will say anything to get you in the door. A lot of people think that their number one goal is to sell you a car. But that's not the actual goal. Their main goal is getting you into their store. Dealerships like to fib to try and convince you to make it to the next step. Here are the top 5 lies that dealerships will tell you. Posted originally February 12, 2025, these tips still hold up now!

    Throwback: I Had to Buy a Lexus GX550 in ONE HOUR or Else...

    I had 1 hour to find one of the hardest cars to buy in February 2025, the Lexus GX550. With insane demand and limited inventory, this was no easy task. I negotiate car deals daily—sometimes even live on stream—so I had to put my skills to the test. Will I secure the deal, or will time run out? Watch until the end to see how it all plays out!

  27. 59

    They TRIED a $10k Markup on a Pallisade (No Chance)

    Hunting down a 2026 Hyundai Palisade Calligraphy Hybrid (brown on brown) turns into chaos when dealers won’t give pricing, won’t take deposits, and one store drops a $10,000 markup like it’s still 2021. I run the calls live, push back on the games, and keep negotiating until the deal finally flips in the last stretch to $3,000 off plus a free 75” TV to close it out.

  28. 58

    I CAN'T BELIEVE They Took Back My $4,500 Discount...

    Dealerships love to say their pricing is “transparent”… until you ask one simple question. In this episode, Tommy hunts down a 2026 Nissan Frontier Pro-4X Long Bed in Tactical Green, calls dealers across the country, exposes add-on traps, and negotiates all the way to $4,500 off with 1.9% APR then watches the deal get messy fast.

  29. 57

    They IGNORED ME Then Charged THOUSANDS In Markup?!

    In this episode, I call what’s supposed to be one of the “best” Nissan dealerships in the country… and immediately realize no one is actually listening. Same question. Four times. Scripted responses. Zero awareness. Then came the real surprise - literal thousands in markup. This is exactly how dealerships lose leverage.

  30. 56

    This Dealership Charged HOW MUCH?! (So Many Add-Ons)

    Dealerships aren’t answering… “because they hate me”. In today’s Delivrd calls, I’m hunting down a 2026 Toyota Camry Nightshade AWD during a stop-sale, dealing with deposits-before-pricing, dealer add-ons, and managers admitting they won’t discount because they “recognize me.” We end up finding the real number Bada bing bada boom.

  31. 55

    Throwback: Salesperson SAYS WHAT DURING NEGOTIATION!?

    In this video from February 5, 2025, I go live on TikTok and live negotiate for an Acura Integra! But what I didn't expect was the salesperson to have a lot of personality throughout our negotiation.

  32. 54

    Throwback: HEATED ARGUMENT with Sales Person Goes WRONG?

    Back in February 2025, I went live on TikTok and invited car dealership salespeople from the chat to debate important topics like negotiations and dealership profits. Over three different discussions, we break down common practices, share opposing views, and tackle the challenges both consumers and dealerships face.

  33. 53

    I CAUGHT this Dealer Trying to HIDE the REAL Price

    A dealership told me they had “good news”… but refused to give me the actual price. So we pushed. In this episode, I call multiple New York dealers on a 2026 Golf GTI and break down how pricing games, fake rebates, and “no phone quotes” tactics really work. If you’ve ever wondered why dealerships won’t just give you the out-the-door number, this is exactly why.

  34. 52

    Is ANYONE Buying This Car?!

    In this negotiation of a ‘25 Ford Mustang, I confront a dealer who continually interrupts me and makes endless excuses about the pricing of the vehicle. I already have great deals out of state but want to get it local. Unfortunately, it is hard to find a good dealer local, and the one good dealer we had crashed the vehicle so it isn’t available for sale. Ultimately a dealer pulls through for a deal.

  35. 51

    Dealership Charging RECORD BREAKING MARKUP on Civic Type R

    I have never been hung up on so many times. Every dealership I encountered was incredibly rude and offered an insane markup - until someone was just made the deal simple? It was crazy, he offered MSRP and we took the deal. But the journey along the way was truly jaw-dropping...

  36. 50

    Saleswoman Calls Me SEXIST Over a Car Deal?! (I'm shocked)

    I called multiple Kia dealerships trying to lock in a fair deal and one conversation went completely off the rails. What started as a simple pricing question turned into accusations, excuses, and pure chaos. This is exactly why buying a car feels impossible for most people.

  37. 49

    Throwback: Shady Dealer LIES about $20k DISCOUNT

    A $20,000 discount on a brand-new Toyota Grand Highlander? At first, it sounded like an unbeatable deal, but after some back and forth, the reality of the situation became clear. The car wasn’t actually available, and I was being led into a process that felt really shady. Was this just a misunderstanding, or was something else going on? Watch to see how it all played out back on January 31, 2025.

  38. 48

    Throwback: HEATED ARGUMENT with Dealer About Price

    Dishonest dealers are everywhere, and in this video, I’m exposing the Top 5 Red Flags to watch out for during car negotiations. From outrageous claims like 'Toyota told us to add this' to lies about shortages to justify crazy prices, I’m breaking down real-life encounters with some of the most deceitful tactics I’ve faced. This video will give you tips to spot these red flags and save thousands on your next car deal. While we originally released this video January 25, 2025 - the same advise applies to help keep you from making a bad deal.

  39. 47

    The Dealership was SUED?!?!

    I didn't expect this dealer to admit they had been SUED for violating a deposit agreement. Pretty crazy to tell me that. It was a journey to get a deal on this Hyundai Palisade Hybrid, but we got it done!

  40. 46

    I CAUGHT the Dealer Red-Handed

    I called dealerships across the country trying to lock in a real deal, but once I started asking for numbers, things got weird fast. Between deposit demands, changing stories, and salesmen dodging the price, this call shows why buying a car feels impossible sometimes. Watch how I push back, break down the math, and show you exactly how these deals really work.

  41. 45

    Throwback: CRAZIEST MOMENTS of 2024 Car Negotiations

    2024 was packed with some of the most heated car negotiations I've ever been a part of. From challenging a dealership that denied its own online sales policy to exposing shady markups or pinning dealerships against each other to secure the best deal, this video dives into the most explosive moments of the year. Buckle up — this is negotiation at its finest.

  42. 44

    Manager TALKED TRASH

    In this Ford Lightening Platinum negotiation, I have to convince the dealer that his car really isn't that special, and when he thinks I haven't answered the phone he TALKED TRASH. I didn't hear it at the time, unfortunately. Somehow we got a deal done anyways.

  43. 43

    Throwback: Shady Dealer's BAIT AND SWITCH Exposed

    Dealing with car dealerships can feel like a never-ending headache, and this video shows exactly why. My employee Troy negotiates for a Kia Sportage, only to face painfully slow responses, shady tactics, and outright gaslighting from a manager who denies their own advertised discount. The dealership pulls a classic bait-and-switch, claiming a $2,000 discount isn’t real despite it being listed on their website. It turns out not much has changed since January 6th, 2025.

  44. 42

    Why Is Buying This TRUCK So TOUGH?! ($30K Above MSRP)

    I spent this entire stream hunting down one of the hardest trucks to buy in America: the Ford F-150 Raptor R. Dealer after dealer either had nothing available or tried to justify $25K–$30K over MSRP like it was normal. I walk you through the real Raptor R market, why $10K over is actually considered a “good deal,” and how quickly things change once a dealer realizes who they’re talking to. If you want to see how markups really work and why some trucks are nearly impossible to negotiate this one tells the whole story.

  45. 41

    Dealerships WENT TO WAR to Make This Deal

    Just when things start to feel hopeless, we get into a bidding war with multiple dealers fighting to give me the most money off this F150 King Ranch. This is a PERFECT example of how competition drives the price down. I negotiate car deals and often do it daily on my live streams. You definitely don't want to miss the action.

  46. 40

    Throwback: DEALER has HEATED ARGUMENT Over Price

    Let's revisit this episode from December 27, 2024 when I negotiated a deal on a 4Runner TRD Pro Package, starting at a steep $72,000. I break down every move, explain my strategy, and give you insider tips on navigating the high-stakes world of car buying. From competitive pricing comparisons to securing a final deal at $63,500, this is a masterclass in negotiation you can’t afford to miss.

  47. 39

    Throwback: Rude Salesperson GETS FIRED

    Ever been treated poorly by a car dealer? In this video, I help a client who was previously told by rude dealers to 'go get your husband’ when negotiating on a Honda Pilot. Insane. After securing 8% off in Vegas I pushed for more in L.A. However, things escalated when a sales rep rudely hung up on me after demanding my client be physically present within 60 minutes — despite it being impossible as she was in Utah. After reaching the General Sales Manager, he apologized and was able to provide a competitive price. Later I gave the sales rep’s name, and the GSM responded, 'I have a new janitor'. Watch as this rude employee faces the consequences of their actions and loses their job from this video from December 18, 2024.

  48. 38

    This Salesman DIDN'T KNOW I Was STILL LISTENING?! (I caught them)

    This is why car buying feels impossible. Fake discounts, “non-optional” accessories, and a real negotiation caught live. Watch how the numbers change once you stop playing along.

  49. 37

    Was This a Bait and Switch?!?! (I was CONFUSED)

    I’m shopping a 2026 Nissan Armada Pro-4X and calling dealerships across the country, expecting the usual runaround. Instead, I got a day full of solid salespeople who actually knew their stuff and were willing to talk numbers. It shouldn’t be this rare but here we are.

  50. 36

    CHAT CHOSE THE CAR I NEGOTIATE!! Can I Still Get $10,000 OFF?!

    Chat chose Lexus… I hunted down an NX 350 Premium, got hit with the “pre-sold” runaround, then one dealer recognized me and dropped a $4,000 discount with no funny business. We locked in and saved the client time, stress, and money.
