Suckers

If you are in the car business, this movie does ring true here and there. The actual truth is I worked at the dealership this movie was based on (it is a proved fact, the writer of this movie worked at this dealership for about 2 years). Did ALL of these things happen? No. I would say a majority of the incidents in this movie did happen but were BLOWN UP or exaggerated to make for good entertainment. The blatant racism in this movie does not occur in the car business. The car business is the one business in the world that welcomes all of the melting pot through its doors. Uneducated? English not your first language? No scholastic possibilities? Don't mind long hours? Wanna make a lot of money? WHEN CAN YOU START? The drug content in this movie was ridiculous. All of that is for effect, we don't sit around snorting cocaine and waiting for customers. The thing about this movie that made me laugh were the white, bald headed General Manager and the black Closer. I know both of the gentleman that these characters were based on and the actors hit a home run. They were represented perfectly. The scene where they bring all of the items outside (desk, chairs, tables) for the customer who would not go inside happened just like that. I actual like the movie, some of the scenes were hilarious and the jokes were funny but at the end of this movie, there is some lame presentation about how to buy a car from the writer. Take it from someone who has been in the business a long time, he knows about 20% of what needs to be known to speak on the car buying process. The bottom line is a Car Salesperson is a professional whose job is to make as much money on you as possible. The customer's job is to savve as much money as they can - A good salesperson sells 15 cars a month and works about 50 deals to make that 15. Mr. Customer, you're gonna lose every time. All in all, the movie is entertaining, check it out.

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!

Okay - this film starts out really funny, really shocking and really makes you think about what goes on at car dealerships behind closed doors. I have heard most of it is true, but in the last half hour they take a turn and have some gang drug deal infiltrate the car dealership that really makes the term "Hollywood Ending" come to mind. They should not have done that - it completely ruined a great film. Almost reminds you of Stir Crazy going into a prison Rodeo at the end...whatever!

having been in the car business for several years, yeah OK so most of this is pretty accurate. I've been there done that, and yes i've even done a few sales trainings on what reggie talked about and even done some of the closes and the walk and talk. But the only thing about this movie that was disturbing was the ending. But the whole drug thing is pretty close. But the underlying emotion in this movie is the guilt the new salesman felt. Think about it his little episode, there comes a point (even i had it) that after pulling so much crap that you truly do start to feel a little guilty. However the pretense under which it is done? C'mon "my credit union says that if i buy this car i won't be able to feed my family" Thats a load of S***! His credit union would't give him the money anyways. And any bank would decline the app (unless you jiggy it a little and fudge some things) but credit unions aren't that smart to tell someone what they can and can't do, they just wouldn't do it. But reggie sure came through, is that your name? you own the car, get the f*** out of here. that is the best part!! Kinda reminds me of vegas. "hi i'm the sales manager, other than returning the car, what can i do for you today"

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.
