'Write about what you know' is advice given to any wannabe scriptwriter, it was advice followed here, as they used their insider knowledge of the used car business to great effect.
The characters, and situations, revolving around the dealership are great. It is funny, and feels authentic, and you will probably learn a lot.
However, they foolishly decided that people wouldn't just want to watch a movie of this nature, so badly welded on a 'so predictable it hurts', Tarrantino style crime caper. It ruins the pacing and feel of the movie.
Pity. Still worth a viewing though, although it has plenty of ripe language and nudity if you are offended by such things.

Every so often a low budget indie film comes out that blows away mots of the other dross out there and this is that movie. There are obviously a lot of similarities to glengary glen ross as selling is the focal point here and its cars not houses. Daniel Benzali as Reggie the dealership manager is a riot as the ultimate sell-your-grandma to make a buck maverick salesman His meetings where he explains selling technique to dealers is priceless entertainment and would strike the fear of god into anyone about to purchase a vehicle. There are so many funny lines and situations here where both dealers and customers try to get one over on each other to get the best deal. I didn't really care for the whole drug smuggling plot at the end, for me it detracted from the main point of the movie but I'm guessing as this wasn't a documentary (although it could have been as it was very realistic) the producers felt they needed to make some sort of stylish ending. Oh, and for Lori Loughlin fans, she looked fantastic in this movie.
This is a good satire of the sales car world. The movie is very good, some nudity moments very funny, but at the end everything goes bad, it is like they dont know how to finish it, and decide that Reggie is so bad that he must be a drug dealer...In my opinion the car salesmen are very well acted, but the clients should have also their punishment, people who want a new car and spend money they dont have looking for a good 'deal' for example the guy that thinks he is so smart he doesn´t want to go to the office, and Moe the Afghan salesman brings the office to the man. It is good.
As an expose of one of the seediest 'professions' around, it works. But just. A bit stilted focused on the selling side of the used car business. Pity they didn't take the time to look at the shonky practices of rewinding the odometer, cosmetic repairs, and the such. Also, the 'Lock Stock and 2 Smoking Barrels' ending seemed out of place. Also, shouldn't have Bobby stolen all the loot, after all, even if he had, who would have known?
Watch this movie if you plan to purchase a car anytime soon! Everything is true from the meetings to the banter between the salesmen and customer. I was introduced to this movie by my manager at a Dodge dealership and it was like the movie was a documentary of our store. Most car salesmen (especially used car salesmen) are very shady and will do anything to make the sale, I know that this is common knowledge But watch this movie and arm yourselves for buying a car because it's all true!

- WissenswertesPhil Mee and Jeanne Chinn, who play the Japanese couple trying to buy a car from BT in office, are in fact Chinese. To get their parts, Mee just said Akira Kuwasawa movie titles and he suggested to Chinn, who was at the same audition, to just blurt out Sushi names.
