Ahh, That New Car Smell

On my way to work this morning, I was listening to my usual radio show when a particular commercial caught my attention. The radio hosts were advertising a car dealership, and they began to discuss how their favorite part of buying a new car is the “new car” smell. They were all in agreement that the only way to get the new car smell was to buy a new car. Granted you can buy sprays or ornaments to get the smell, but it's not the genuine smell. They went on to say that the new car scent fresheners are no comparison to the actual real new car scent. So, in short, the reason you should buy a new car is so that you can have a vehicle that has that authentic new car smell.
Yes, this is just as ridiculous as it sounds! No one should invest in a brand new car with a six-year car note just to have two weeks of a “new car” smell. Now, obviously the radio show hosts are paid to promote particular companies, and they are probably prompted on what to say, so they are not to blame for such a ridiculous commercial.

So many people get “suckered” into buying a new vehicle because of flashy advertising when, in reality, they could have purchased a pre-owned vehicle for a much better price. Many used car dealerships take a lot of pride in their used vehicles. They clean and detail them so thoroughly that they look and smell like a brand new vehicle.

How Movies Portrayed Car Salesmen

How Movies Portrayed Car Salesmen Since the 80s and through the 90s, movies involving car dealerships shined a negative light on car salesmen and painted a stereotypical picture. These comedic characters came off as shady, sleazy, pushy, and willing to do anything to make the sale. The News Wheel has listed the Top 5 Worst Car Salesmen from Movies and they're some pretty bad ones. Here are my three favorites from the list. Rudy Russo from the 1980 film Used Cars . A young Kurt Russell portrays Rudy Russo, a state Senate hopeful. In order to get a $10,000 campaign investment from used car lot owner Luke Fuchs, Rudy must help him sell some cars to keep his business up and running. While doing so, Rudy uses standard stereotypical used car salesmen techniques like cheesy commercials, fast-talking, and pressure selling.

But there advantages to buying from an independent car dealership. And if you keep in mind that not all salesmen are trying to make a quick (and dishonest sale) you just might find the vehicle you deserve. The Advantages If you decide to go the route of buying from a dealer, instead of a private seller, you can choose some extra options for your vehicle. You can opt to have an extended warranty to cover your vehicle after the manufacturer warranty expires, curb rash can be removed, and special promotions may be offered, such as free oil changes or free tire rotations. Dealerships care about their reputation, it’s how they keep customers and gain new ones. So you can expect that customer service will be top-notch and they won’t just wash their hands clean after the sale. Dealers also offer their own financing and financ...
