[QUOTE="GordoJay, post: 1735343, member: 39584"] You've got causality backwards. Dealers buy state politicians. State politicians pass laws saying that only dealers can sell cars. They both stick it to the car makers. The problem with changing the model is that you have to go state by state. It's seriously effed up. If one state, c'mon Texas?, Idaho?, were to change the law to allow direct sales and charge, say a 0.1% sales tax on the transaction, it could be a serious win for everyone. Except the dealers. But solving your problem will just cause another. The Soviets had that problem. Prices were controlled, so everyone stood in line. For a long time. For everything. You could view the watered down capitalism that we practice as being able to pay off the line monitor to allow you to cut the line. :D [/QUOTE]
