Why Do People Make Abrupt Decisions…

You finally did it! You have saved up the money you needed to buy that new or used car from Durrett Motor Company. You’re a responsible individual and know that you shouldn’t jump at the first car you like, right? Well, let me tell you a little story.

It was back in 1985 when my partner and I were in your shoes. We knew the type of vehicle we wanted — very much like the 2007 Jeep Grand Cherokee Laredo that is in Durrett’s inventory. We were very adamant that we were not going to be swayed by the salesman’s persuasion as to why we should get this Cherokee over here. Oh my, why do people make abrupt decisions?

You can probably already guess where this story is leading you, can’t you? That salesman was so, SO persuasive and made that one Cherokee sound SO enticing that we ended up paying interest on our very own cash that we paid as a down payment AND paid high monthly payments to boot!

So let’s take a brief look at some of the reasons people make abrupt decisions and why you can trust Durrett Motor Company to provide you with the best information on that vehicle:

  • Pushy salespersons — Take your time. Our salespeople will not push you; they are very patient and will spend all the time you need to ensure you get the vehicle you really want.  The owners of Durrett will stop at no less than having a car dealership where you can feel comfortable and be treated as a member of the family.
  • Love at first sight — Durrett Motor Company has a wide selection of makes and models of used vehicles that fall within a multitude of price ranges. While I can’t guarantee that you will fall in love with that first vehicle you see on Durrett’s car lot, we certainly have an inventory that is certified by Auto Exam Automotive Services.  We are not limited by a specific manufacturer, and it is fun to shop around.
  • But it’s beautiful! — Yes, Durrett has some beautiful-looking vehicles. Come see!
  • But, I’m just SO excited! — Well then, what are you waiting for? You can trust the knowledge and expertise of Durrett’s sales staff to provide you with good sound advice and help you find just the right car for you. Need help finding us?

So why do people make abrupt decisions? I would probably say that people just get afflicted with the “I want” syndrome. They don’t take the time to make an informed decision for their particular situation. In many instances they end up regretting the choice they made for all the wrong reasons. For example, they bought a vehicle thinking they could make the payments just by getting a second job. That’s the wrong mindset. We don’t want that to happen to you. It’s important that you stop, do your research, and then make an informed decision — one that you will be happy with in the long run.
