I have zero interest in ever buying a new vehicle again in having to interact with a dealership, particularly when every dealer now feels entitled to some random markup in price over MSRP. Despite Musk's cringe factor these days, I'll applaud Tesla for setting a bar in removing the sketchy dealers from reselling their cars and only sell directly.
There is little reason for automobile dealers to exist anymore if they're just going to sell at MSRP+dealer markup, there is no value add, they are merely parasitic. The whole point of going to a dealership used to be to get them UNDER MSRP as much as possible, which is how the racket worked. If I wanted to pay retail, I should just be able go to the Internet, pick options I want, and go pick it up when it shows up like a Tesla.
People should insist on removing the asinine legal requirement for dealers and modernize around the Internet, everyone's lives would be improved significantly other the parasite auto dealers. Remove the middlemen dealerships, get cheaper vehicles. Win Win.
Automobile dealers are simply something that should not exist anymore, and this becomes more true every day.
