Shots of different cars, following the two around the lot and some action under the hood.
As well as some fun dialogue:
Q: What type of automobile are you looking for?
A: Umm, just looking for a decent car.
And the classic:
Q: Here's the key if you would like to start it up?
A: Okay... click*, *click*, *click

I give mad props to the guy that made and uploaded these videos. This is the closest we will ever get to a real time machine!
-
The customer is serious, the car salesman is serious, the customer wants a car and the salesman wants to sell them one… straight to the point and no bs.
-
The guy is actually a really good salesman. No pressure, not aggressive. Knows his inventory.

I remember being in a GM dealership in October 1986 when my parents were buying a car. In the showroom was a 1987 Buick Grand National, I begged them to buy it but they wanted a 4 door and bought a 1987 Buick Lesabre instead.... That 1987 Buick Grand National sat in my heart forever.... Fast forward 36 years later, that 1987 Buick Grand National was finally in my garage 😊

Back when it didn’t take a years salary to buy a decent used car

In 1986 my dad was making $15 per hour working as an electrician, was able to afford a home here in So Cal, make car payments and support my mom and 2 kids

1986 vs 2023. Look how far America has changed. Very sad how far gone society is today. Morally and financially bankrupt.
-
Legend has it Dave is still waiting for Leo to come back.
-
The amount of patience human’s had back in 86 is definitely noticeable
-
Back when the US was a country for the middle class.
-
Old man's voice over is perfect for any kind of job, business or sales.

The guy just went sales 101, greeted the guy, found a common bound , asked plenty of discovery questions to find something to suit his needs, over came objections, found a price point l, found out what he did for a living to see how much he could upgrade him… Pretty clean cut

40 years later, those exact same cars probably are being sold for more than they were at that dealership in 1986.
-
No kids, those aren’t the down payments on the windshields😂

In 86 I was 23 making $8.25/hr. in a factory in the United steel workers union. What a joke they were! My lay-off was a blessing in disguise. 86 was a great time and at the height of my life. Was married in 84 and still going strong 40 years later.

A time when things were simpler. I have owned a dealership for 4 years now, and there is a huge difference.

That camera quality is better than most security footages of these days
-
The older man sounded so sharp and professional. He really had class and knew the business well, in terms of car sales.
-
The older I get, the more I wish I got to experience this.

Ahh.. the 80s-90s.. everything was soooo much easier then.. Can't believe it's been 30 years since I was a teen in the 90s
