It's not hard to find auto wholesale prices online. Most dealers these days you can call up and say, "hey, I know your wholesale price on this car is $x, can you give me the car for $100 more than that?" They're pretty used to this anymore; they don't expect to make anything on "internet orders". If nothing else, it adds revenue and sales volume to their aggregate numbers.
- boomzilla 12y agoOne of the people in the car dealing industry I talked to recently told me that the business model now is not based on selling new cars, but to sell services/insurances and a bit from used cars. This makes total sense because they got the first placement for the services, and people are probably not as prepared with service/insurance quotes compared with new car price quotes :) Maybe this is also why Tesla gets a hard time with the auto dealers when they want to do after sale services too.
