[QUOTE="HoldenTX, post: 1344104, member: 9496"] I don't see any problems with you sharing this experience - and perhaps this highlights some generational differences between the pre and post Amazon generation. In your opinion, you think dealers should clearly call out if they don't ship vehicles, where I think most older folks find the idea that dealers will ship vehicles surprising. (Otherwise Amazon would sell cars and put all of them out of business). I'm really no expert because I don't buy enough cars to know the system - but in general dealerships have so many archaic rules and laws to abide by, 99% of them are designed to sell to people who visit in person. With the amount of paperwork and rules they must follow after selling a new car in their own state, I can absolutely see why they'd not want to keep up with all those forms for 50 states. Do a search on Tesla and read about their problems trying to sell cars like Amazon. The states make so much tax revenue + the dealership network is quite a powerful lobby that ultimately has led to making it very hard to sell cars in a way we all expect in today's online world.
