re: Buying a car sucks

Go to manufacturer's website, search available inventory; find what you want, call about it, don't find what you want and call to see if you can order what you want.

/Timetravel to the present from your 1990's method of approaching a vehicle purchase.

Who the hell just walks on a lot to see what they have these days. Who has that kind of time to blow just to make some salesman's day. I call, if they can't help me, I move on. There's no laws about MSRP's. It's a recommended price, dealerships sell for the the going market price, IE what they can get, don't like it? Move on to the next one.

It will all be extinct in 10 years imo. There's really not a strong reason in this day and age for manufacturers to give such a cut to dealerships. TESLA is showing dealerships are unnecessary, and other brands are exploring the move. System sucks, but if you are just showing up at the lot to see what they have, you are going through alot of unnecessary pain.
