41 Dunno if anyone's bought a car recently, but this short video explains a lot on how dealerships make money, along with something I didn't know: in many states, it's actually straight up illegal for Ford/GM/Chrysler/etc to sell direct to consumer and are forced to use dealers as middlemen (www.youtube.com) posted 1 year ago by redman012 1 year ago by redman012 +41 / -0 9 comments share 9 comments share save hide report block hide replies
If you want something used a good option is finding the make you want at a dealership that sells something else (like a Ford someone traded in at a Toyota dealership) because they're more motivated to get rid of it without shaking you down.
