I agree 100% I'm still getting emails from dealers that I reached out too when I was searching. Most of them are 4 paragraph messages explaing the " Bob Wilson Toyota" experience and how they have a 99% satisfaction rating and 9 president's awards from Toyota. Bro, I don't care, I will probably never walk into your dealership again unless it's a warranty, recall etc. Hopefully when I do need a major repair this truck is 10 yrs old and I can buy the part myself and the software to program is available with a harbor freight scan tool. I want the best price on a vehicle. The fact that you have an expresso machine in your lobby and a beautiful waiting room with The View on your 1080p 80" TV doesn't make me want to waste a few grand with you.I have 5 Toyota dealers in my area, I bought my truck from a dealer 3 hours away, lol. I was close to buying from a local dealer, I actually liked the salesman. Then, when the truck arrived, the finance manager entered the deal and tried their usual bullying nonsense. I walked, emailed a dealer 3 hours away about a truck they had coming in...gave them a deposit the next day. I drove by the original truck as it sat for another 3 months, someone bought it in January when the discounts were even deeper. They literally lost thousands because they weren't nice, lol
Eventually car manufacturers will learn, punishing your customers by forcing them into a dealerships "experience" in order to buy your product is a terrible idea.
Whether or not my next vehicle is a Scout depends on whether or not they can stick to the Tesla model of operating without dealerships.
