I 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.
