I told the dealership I'd never buy a car from their brand again because of this.
- elliekelly 5y agoThis really ought to be considered an illegal “tying arrangement” but since our antitrust laws are so poorly enforced and overly-emphasize price (ignoring things like quality and customer service) I doubt it’s even on anyone’s radar. The Chicago School strikes again, I suppose.
- HeyLaughingBoy 5y agoHow can they require it? Your default answer is "do you want to lose the sale because of this?" If they do, well there are lots of other dealerships.
