I CAUGHT a Mazda Dealer BREAKING FTC RULES and He DENIES It!
The Price Isn’t Right: Car Negotiations w/ DelivrdShow Notes
In this video I am negotiating a 2026 Mazda CX5 Preferred for a client in Tennessee, a birthday present, and on my very first call I catch a Mazda dealer advertising the car without including the doc fee in the price. When I call it out and reference the FTC rules directly, he argues back and tells me the fine print disclosure is good enough. It is not. So I moved on, found a dealer whose GM had already told his team to watch my stream and be ready to make a deal, and closed at 10% off MSRP on the spot.

I’m calling around to negotiate a 2026 Honda Pilot Elite, but apparently my voice is giving me away! I’m just trying to get some numbers, and these salespeople are trying to figure out if they’ve got Tomi on the phone. Staying anonymous is getting harder, but I’ve still got a deal to negotiate...
Two callers called my service a SCAM, so I gave them the chance to tell me why. Is paying someone to negotiate your car deal a waste of money? We get into what I actually do for buyers, why these callers think it’s unnecessary, and where we REALLY disagree. These debates got heated!
