>We buy so many things "sight unseen" because of the quality and reliability.

Name 1 or 2 other things you buy "sight unseen" that are remotely close to the cost of a new vehicle.

>I will buy a reliable car sight unseen like I bought my big screen t.v.

If you have zero preference for the multitude of ways even similar cars can vary, you aren't an average car buyer. Most people care about these things, be it sight lines, headroom, where the chargers are, driving dynamics...




>Name 1 or 2 other things you buy "sight unseen" that are remotely close to the cost of a new vehicle

That question cannot be answered, we all know that nothing is comparable to that price in an average household's shopping list.

But a few years ago a shoe purchase was in store only but a month ago I bought a new pair online. Because I knew that I could try it and return it easily.

Luckily, I didn't have to return.

I wish I could do the same with cars.
