re: Why do dealers make car buying so difficult

Simple process.

Go to a dealer and tell them what you’re looking for. Find a vehicle you want and tell them to put it on paper for the bank. Print out vehicle specs and price. Thank them and tell them you’re going to the bank to secure financing.

Take the paper and go to other dealerships and tell them to beat it. Simple.

I did this when I bought my truck and got more options and a better price than the first one.
