These are examples as to why I will never deal with another dealership for as long as I live. Their sales techniques are reprehensible and a throwback to the 1800s (and worse). Unfortunately, they have taken laws that were originally intended to protect them from their parent franchisor and tried to turn them into laws guaranteeing their existence.

There aren't many alternatives but I was lucky enough that a Tesla filled my needs (and more, as I found out). I went to the website, ordered the car, paid the price stated on the website and that was that. Legacy auto manufacturers like Ford & GM would love to get rid of their dealerships because they know the dealerships are giving them a bad name.
