V10 is correct. Tesla is simply more money, they’re taking the dealer’s share. Why do you think factories want to cut out dealerships? The market is going to bear X dollars for a transaction. Toyota Tundra’s are certainly not going to drop $5-7000 in price if they start to get sold factory direct to consumers.

Just FYI, we pay ALOT of money for leads from AAA, TrueCar, etc. The prices are set by the dealer anyway, not AAA. I’m glad it worked out for you, from my end it simply adds more cost to doing business. I would never let a local customer get a car shipped in from another dealer if there was even any sense to the deal…

And you wonder why you don’t get good service at a dealer. This is the equivalent to walking into a local mom and pop shop for a dress or other item, getting all your questions answered for 30 minutes, then ordering off of Amazon. You could have gotten that AAA price at your local dealer pretty easily quicker.

this comment could be accurate

It’s not so much we push the cars we want to sell, it’s we push what’s is actually available. Not always, but many, many times when “people are trying to explain what they want”, they are describing a car that’s not ever going to be available. Unfortunately, most manufacturer’s configurators let you build a car in…

So y’all want to ADD to the time and expense of shopping for cars, correct?

You answered your own question with that one.

“You can browse cars, have someone who actually likes and knows things about cars show you all the features, and maybe even offer something like “extended test drives” 

uh, no, there’s really no ambiguity in the lyrics, nor much mental gymnastics required to understand what they mean.

You’re not! My wife drives a white 17 LX570, and it kind works on that big beast. It looks like a Stormtrooper helmet everytime she pulls up, so I call it her Tie fighter.

Tom is full of it. We’re busy, we’ve been busy, the sky is not falling. It’s not us that was saying that, it was people who wished the sky would fall on dealerships. For whatever their reason was

It’s because we’re busy, people are out and the world is not going to fall apart no matter how many times “experts” tell us it is. 

Love this movie(and book)

This car is hardly a rebadged 86. Granted, the nose is ungainly/ugly but the drive of this car is second to none. Power and handling are excellent..

The market is “nuts” because these things are beasts. They are basically hand built in a dedicated Japanese factory, will last and last, and are just as good at climbing mountains, fording streams, grocery getting and pulling up to the country club. NP

That shifter too, ugh

Some people don’t want all that jazz. To each their own!

It took me a long time on that one

I work in LA, hardly a mega dealer. Keep writing your own future, I’m sure it’ll come true for you!
