I’ve gone in knowing exactly what I want and exactly what I should have to pay and the song and dance to get there is still ridiculous. Some dealerships are OK and guilty of some high pressure tactics or dumb theatrics, but others straight up bull#### you and play ridiculous games.
Yes, go talk to your manager. Again. I’ll wait.
Just let people order their vehicles online and pay invoice minus any incentives. The end.

I was saying this 20 to 25 years ago because it seemed inevitable and I really thought that the Tesla model and success would change things but it hasn't and it won't. Maybe in another 25 years?
I think the only impetus that I see coming which might change the structure is an influx of Chinese brands. If they show up without a dealership model, provide a different experience and have success maybe that will move the needle. Otherwise we are stuck with dealerships.
