It astonishes me that a bunch of states have laws forcing consumers to let a dealer clip the ticket on the sale of a new vehicle, and nobody seems particularly bothered.

I do hope for some change in the car market, because my parents just went through the process of buying a newer vehicle recently and boy was pretty much every dealership/used car lot trip just a psychological test that felt so unnecessary. They ended up buying off of one of those no-haggle, we deliver the car to you sites and it was overall less stressful.

I just put down my $100 reservation. If the dealers are scared, that can only be a good thing.

My dad was a car salesman… Fuck car salesman.

VW & Audi dealers are going to regret this lawsuit. I hope VW takes this all the way to the Supreme Court. Chances are the dealers will lose. And that will totally change the entire car market.

Neat, hope they can sell direct in every state soon. Too bad they don’t start production for a couple of years.
