    Or someone who doesn’t support the lengthy and exhausting process of buying a car from a dealership and having to negotiate a price.

        No, they don’t have to be cheaper. In fact, I’d be willing to spend a bit more than I had to just to not deal with negotiation bullshit

          If you think Amazon adding itself as a middleman and taking a cut helps you then you’re pretty dim.

          Edit: get mad if you want, doesn’t change the fact that it adds complexity and cost and the dealer will still do what dealers do with lying and upselling regardless.

      I like how when I turned down the extended warranty the last time I bought a car, the saleswoman looked at me like I just shot her dog.

        Or how about all the threads I see online where they will all but refuse to sell you a vehicle if you try and pay in cash / not use their financing provider.
