It does seem a little odd, but as a resident of one of those states I think it's awesome. I can peruse the lot with zero chance of being approached by a salesperson. IMHO it actually facilitates car sales, because one day a week people can look at new cars without immediately feeling like prey.
- jetti 14y agoYou can do that online any time. What you see in the lot on Sunday is the same as what you would see online. But as a resident of one of those states as well, I hate it. Not because I want to buy a car on Sunday but because if the dealership is open the service section of the dealership would also be open.
- gfosco 14y agoThere's a huge difference between looking at pictures online and seeing the cars in person.
- moheeb 14y agoNo, what you see online is a digital representation of a physical product. What you see on the lot is an actual physical product that can be touched and smelled.

- jetti 14y agoNot when the dealership is closed though...that's the point of just looking online when they are closed on Sunday.
- mcguire 14y agoVery true. Once upon a time, there was a used car dealer in Austin that unlocked all their cars when they opened in the morning. And the only time a salesguy would ask "Can I help you?" (anyone hate "What can I put you in?" too?) was when they were walking by you after talking to someone else. And they took "I'm still looking right now" for an answer. I felt really bad when I couldn't find something I liked there.
