Good luck with your purchase.
Spoken like a true car dealer or employee of a dealership.
What you wrote is absolute [censored]. You make it sound like you need to kiss their arse in order to be treated fairly. You make it sound like you are stuck getting service from the same dealer you buy the car from.
Following your advice, gives one nothing in return.
