    Almost a good movie...

    '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.

    how to sell cars

    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.

    OK so most of it is accurate

    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"

    It's all true!

    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!

    Remember Stir Crazy???

    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!

    • Trivia
      Phil 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.
