Whoopsy:
Best thing about buying from auto dealers? I have choices.
Think I am up to 60 car purchases across 18 brands I think, give or take a few. Most of those were great experiences, no BS. The few times I did have a bad experience, I just switch dealer. Easy peasy.
If I were to buy a Tesla, there is only one selling, it's a monopoly, I am stuck with buying from them, good or bad.
Tesla cutting out the dealer network simply because they want to cut out the middleman and take in as much money as possible from each sale, nothing more.
I am curious why those dealerships you spend millions in like you more than me? Lol. You have positive experiences, I almost fell out of my chair laughing
As my favorite southern senator like to say - ‘and the stripper loves you…’.
Im not mentioning Tesla but the part about a company just wanting to make money is awesome too. What are the dealers trying to do? Ever been in a car negotiation?
Follow the money - I could be wrong
Oh - and if you want to buy a Ferrari it is always built by Ferrari. Darn. No other choice. They should allow you to buy a Ferrari built by Ford. Lol.
Didn't spend a million dollars at the Jeep dealership, it was actually only for 2 cars, 20 years apart, a Grand Cherokee way back when and a last generation Wrangler. Neither did I with the Chevrolet when I bought the Corvette, which was the only time I bought something. Also had great experience with the Ford dealer, bought a Mustang Cobra convertible, met the owner's son, talked cars and became friends. He inherited the dealership now, and we still friends even when I haven't bought another car from then apart from a Lincoln Navigator. He did asked me about ordering a Ford GT which I passed.
As for your last sentence, wanting to start an argument for argument sake? It doesn't even make sense. Ferrari sells through dealers, one doesn't directly buy from Ferrari you know. On the flip side, my Ferrari dealer owns many dealerships in town, so I can actually buy an Audi, Porsche or Acura via them. Not quite Ford.
