I genuinely don’t understand why anyone would use that subreddit. I work for a dealership group in a non customer facing role that requires me to interact with our sales staff from time to time. Some of them are great, but the vast majority I wouldn’t trust. Even if my life depended on it.

Car dealerships have unbelievable political power. The local car dealer is the richest guy in small towns across America. There are high school teams with “_ ford/chevy” on their scoreboard in every corner of this country. There will never be a law passed that dealer owners aren’t okay with

newsflash: unless there is some sort of penalty for car dealerships, they are going to follow that law just about as well as the r/cars population follows the speed limits.

lol, that letter’s performative garbage. The U.S. Government loves car dealers: the higher the markup, the higher the tax collected. Which is why they can rip us off with legal impunity, and will continue to do so as long as Uncle Sam gets a cut of the action.

Yup, its ILLEGAL to sell new cars without going through a dealer. Because some rich prick who could never run a real business that provides value, wanted to make sure he continues to make money
