You had to send that to me.LOL Dealers are business people who understand their costs very well. Internet processing does make the selling process efficient.Credit capability can initially be determined and then the sales pitch should be oriented to vehicles that fit with in the lending institutions approvals. Often customers want more by their real preference. After financial verification the sales process is very professional .It is the initial: meet, greet, chit chat, establish a rapport, that many a salesperson works for free when he serves people who do not / cannnot qualify for a car loan. There are lots of horror stories out there,but let's just say it makes the process more efficient. We've already established that margins are slim and declining - so an efficiency enhancement is a feature that will most likely be implemented into the future - if you are sharp. If I had a buck from every person on the outside thinking there was easy or big money serving /selling a buyer making a fairly big purchase like a car, then :1) I'd be rich and 2) the boy just hasn't been there. The internet has made a very informed buyer = that's a good thing. The manufacturer needs to build a great product and not flood the supply,rather match it to demand - such that fair margins are maintained. The dealer does reserve the right to refuse a below market offer. By local from a good dealer and enjoy the relationship. We care.<smile> Bob
