What do you guys think?
You can get pretty much all the information you want: interior pics, reviews, pricing, etc., on your own now. You don't need a "salesman" that's fully on commission to tell you about a vehicle. It's an ancient business model and I can't see it lasting another 20 years.
Having multiple ways to buy what you want is good for everyone but the dinosaur working at traditional dealerships.

UD, I am gonna guess you are not the average customer. On a graph, you are an outlier.Never once had a salesman at an auto dealership know more about the vehicle I was buying than I did.
Isn't there a law that prevents auto manufacturers to sell directly to consumers?... that cars must be sold through dealers?
Only a few states. And yes, this is for the dealership's benefit.Isn't there a law that prevents auto manufacturers to sell directly to consumers?... that cars must be sold through dealers?
I agree with you for the most part as long as there was some way to see and test drive vehicles. Some vehicles are much nicer in person and some not so much. And I've heard stories of people buying cars (without taking a test drive) and then discovering they can't reach the brake pedal, and things like that.What do you guys think?
