Bypassing car dealers is quite important. I don't think its to to screw dealers over but to make sure margins are needed to make their car for the masses, especially being so nascent with the different parts required. I hope this is successful for the prospect of close to $0 marginal cost of travel.
- 300bps 13y agoI don't think its to to screw dealers over but to make sure margins are needed to make their car for the masses It's also because they're completely unneeded for many transactions. I walked into a Nissan dealership utilizing USAA pricing and a cashier's check. It still took FOUR HOURS to drive out with the car. I had to wait two hours just for the "finance guy" even though I wasn't financing anything. I threatened to leave the entire time - I still had to talk to him and he had at least 7 people in front of me in line that were financing. How refreshing would it be to research a car, test drive a car, purchase a car without all these shenanigans meant to upsell you into ridiculous things?
- slouch 13y agoThe only way franchises make money is on the backend and service, so the quick transaction you want is a loss for them. It's interesting, because getting you out the door without using their employee's time is probably the best way to handle you, but habits.
- greedo 13y agoI bet if you had walked out, they would have done something to expedite you. When I bought my Volkswagen last December, it was 20 minutes from when I walked in to when I walked out, even with being financed through VW. Some dealerships just suck.
