When a customer has credit issues , it becomes more difficult to get them in the door. Keep in mind that you are probably not the first dealer they have talked to.

To help, here are some questions and answers I have used over the last 39 years.

Q. Am I guaranteed to get a car?

A. Yes and No, Yes, I have seen it happen every day. I have seen many customers walk in and drive away in a car the same day. No means that you have not come in yet to choose a vehicle and we haven’t had a chance to talk one on one, let’s do that at 1:00 today.

Q. What do I need to bring with me?

A. We only need three things when you come in today at 1:00

1. Who you are – Driver’s License

2. What you make - Paycheck stub, retirement, etc.

3. Where you live - Utility bill from your residence

REMEMBER THE RULE OF 3

Most people will only remember three things when you talk to them over the phone. Don’t worry about down payment at this point. Most customers have a debit card with them. Please don’t get hung up on docs, and most are available on the internet so you can get them later. References, every customer has a cell phone with numbers in them, and every customer will bring their cell phone with them.

Never make credit, job time, down payment, or income an issue... just make the appointment.
