In other countries you can order the exact car you want. In the U.S., dealers make that incredibly difficult unless you agree to pay a huge premium. That alone is worth the abolishment of dealerships. Not to mention the time you waste haggling on price. A car salesman in the U.S. will try to sell you a trim you didn't want. They'll sell you a color you didn't want. They'll sell features you didn't want. All because that's what their current inventory dictates. Here's a question for all the free-market enthusiasts: If the car dealer model is supposedly so great for both sides, then why didn't it spawn organically? Why did it require special regulation to bring it into existence? Wouldn't the free market forces have done this on their own? The current model in the U.S. is insanity and I can't understand how anyone whose job doesn't depend on it, defends it.
