    Or someone who doesn’t support the lengthy and exhausting process of buying a car from a dealership and having to negotiate a price.

        No, they don’t have to be cheaper. In fact, I’d be willing to spend a bit more than I had to just to not deal with negotiation bullshit

          If you think Amazon adding itself as a middleman and taking a cut helps you then you’re pretty dim.

          Edit: get mad if you want, doesn’t change the fact that it adds complexity and cost and the dealer will still do what dealers do with lying and upselling regardless.

        It would allow for more price transparency, wouldn’t it ?

      I like how when I turned down the extended warranty the last time I bought a car, the saleswoman looked at me like I just shot her dog.

        Or how about all the threads I see online where they will all but refuse to sell you a vehicle if you try and pay in cash / not use their financing provider.
