The term “Bump” is often searched by individuals entering the car buying process. In dealership lingo, a “bump” refers to the practice of increasing a customer’s offer during negotiations. It’s a common tactic used by salespeople to gently push buyers towards a higher price, often under the guise of meeting halfway or making a deal more feasible.
Understanding this tactic is crucial for buyers who want to stick to their budget and avoid overpaying. The key to navigating a “bump” is to remain firm in your initial offer and understand the value of the car you’re negotiating for. This post will provide insights into recognizing when you’re being “bumped” and strategies to counter this tactic effectively. We’ll also discuss the importance of doing thorough research on vehicle pricing and having a clear understanding of what you’re willing to pay before entering negotiations.
