how much can you expect from referring a car sale?

 

Experience has shown that most salesman are just that. "Maybe" a thank you or a certificate for a $40 dinner and that was from a Lexus guy. The guy I bought my TL from said he would give me $500 and I referred a guy to him that bought a TL. Of course, he said that he "had to give my friend the same great deal he gave me and that meant that there was no extra $'s for any referral". I KNEW I should have gotten it in writing, frigging car salesmen (scum of the earth)

 

a new car or used car or helping your buddy or what are the circumstances

I know a guy - that has a Toyota new car connection and he charges $250 to introduce you to the guy- and then you do get major wholesale deal...allegedly!

Help a friend sell their car- 50 bucks and a beer
Help a friend find the right car- 50 bucks 2 beers

 

I don't like sales people. I enjoy asking them questions and then informing them how completely wrong they are. The dealership has absolutely no reason to give you anything for sending a sale their way, more importantly the sales person is going to say whatever BS he/she can to convince you to send someone else over to him/her.

My friend does used car admin work for an automotive group that has 7-8 different brands; myself and my family have purchased 8 cars through him, he sets up the deal and sends the person into finance.. they never have to deal with a sales person or pricing.

 

Well get him to find you that TL you've always wanted .

 

He is lol.. the used car manager from one of the local Acura stores was @ his store today and he talked to him.. They have two used 6 speeds in stock, one nav, one non-nav, he said a couple grand over wholesale.. We'll see how it all works out

 

I referred my friend to the dealership to buy an MDX. After a few phone calls to my salesperson, I got $50 from them in the mail. Haven't done it again since.

 

$100 is standard

 

I just got a $100 Shell gas card.
Ended up researching cars for my parents, and they eventually got an '07 Impala from Reedman-Toll, and their policy is $100 Shell gas card for referrals.

The salesman didn't have to, but he got me a gas card for bringing my parents in. And we got a great deal on the car. Classy IMO, and when my wife is done with her MDX, I just may see what this guy can get us into.

 

That's stupid, I've never heard of that. That dealership referral bonuses are supposed to be regardless of purchase price.
