re: Are Louisiana car dealers just bunch of scammers?

I usually buy out of state, but many local dealers are just as happy to give you their best price over phone or via email. They know they only have a short window to gain your business or you're going elsewhere. Once you are on their showroom floor they have an advantage. Last car I bought was out of Dallas. A Denham dealership gave me the same price, or maybe even a tad better, but they didn't have the color my kid wanted. Got to that price over just a couple emails/phone calls.
