Do you tip ?

So when you get a new vehicle, do you tip the person who sold it to you?

If so, how much ???

I'm picking mine tomorrow..

Thanks

 

I’ve never done that. But I say tip if you want to, and tip an amount that would bless the other person and will also leave you feeling good about the tip.

 

They give you a good discount? Buy um lunch.

They already making money off you by you buying it.

 

Your tip is their commission earned

 

I have bought an insane amount of vehicles in my life. Have never tipped the salesman, until I bought our current Toyota’s. Nothing big, just a $50 gift card. Small town dealership, great service, good guy. I will do business with him again.

 

Are you kidding? They are already raping you.
*I* don't reward bad behavior.

 

I have bought many, many vehicles along the way, never tipped nor did I ever think about it. Except, when I bought my 4Runner early this year, I figured out a bit after delivery that the salesman was quietly paying for a couple options to be delivered later (rear cargo cover and locking lug nuts - about $300+ retail, a lot less at whatever salesman had to pay). I was a little skeptical due to delays that he was scamming me, but he came through and overall I thought he was a good salesman and guy, so I gave him a thank you note and a $50 gift card.

But in general, I'd say tips are virtually never given nor are they expected.

 

I would never tip a car salesperson. If you received amazing service, the best reciprocation that you can give them is referral business. Nothing beats word-of-mouth advertising and referrals.

 

Is this a serious question?

 

Just the tip. Just to see how it feels

 

Lol wanted to post this when the thread went up but restrained myself!

 

Edited. thanks

 

Nope dealers actually dislike it for safety reasons to many glass offices. Personal check and cashiers check is preferred.

 

No no. Different idea.

 

Like handing a cop a hundred dollar bill under your license?

 

When the salesperson bends you over and make you bite the headrest, insist on only genuine Toyota 08887-01206

 

Sure.....
Do not look directly into the sun and never piss into the wind.
Don't kick a dead skunk.
Etc.

 

^Probably don't want to kick a live skunk, either, just sayin'.

 

A tip is a means of thanking someone for a service performed. People like to base it on a percentage, perhaps because that’s easier. But what do you think of how they served you? Tip accordingly. Don’t whip out a calculator and guidebook and tip ‘properly’. It should never be based on the cost of the goods or services, because after all, who’s going to tip 15% on a $50k vehicle? But then, I never tip 15% on an $8 meal. That’s an insult. Perspective, folks.

 

Not a chance in hell. I bought new for the first time in 2016, and since I couldn't bring my late father I went with my father-in-law to close the deal and thank goodness I did because the amount of items he scratched off the salesman's proposal, and refused to pay, was staggering. What was funny is I didn't know you could say no to things lol. I've said here before, dealerships and sales people are not your friends even though you might think they are it's a business and everybody looks out for numero Uno

 

NO. That's what their commission is for.

Also, why would you want to tip the person who probably just f****d you?

 

Usually in this process t's the customer getting just the tip.

 

Tipping a salesperson on a $60,000 CAD truck almost makes me more angry to hear than when the shittiest sandwich makers on the planet - Subway sandwich artists, started asking for tips on the debit machine every purchase.

 

Shouldn’t we expect good service when we purchase a vehicle? Tipping is for those that don’t make minimum wage to make up the difference. Do you tip the police officer after they give you a speeding ticket? They are doing their job.

 

Hey OP @taco_runner don't get me wrong, I know I'm like the Scrooge of tipping, but heck if you are more kind than I and can afford it then go ahead.

 

Fuck no. I'm in sales albeit not car sales.

No. You don't tip sales reps.

The only time I would pay a rep is if I paid him on the side to get a better deal, and overall saved money by doing so.

 

Serious question. Is your rep cute and are you looking for an excuse to tip them or something?

 

That’s a rather astute question.

 

What!
isn't my sale enough?
I am usually not happy at dealerships. The thought of tipping does not cross my mind.

 

Never.
