ParticipantI’m not asking to regulate car prices because manufacturers compete against manufacturer so there is competition.
Additionally if you have nicer facilities and a more pleasant experience for the customer that would attract more customers to your dealership where you would then be able to register the customer in the event that they end up buying that product.
New cars have become commodities and almost all pricing is available if you have a computer. If you have industry experience (which I do) you see the supply chain in a much better light.
Most people hold car sales in a very low position. That speak to the way the system is currently working. My system would eliminate waste and refocus the customer on the customer experience. The majority of people wold get a better deal because cars could be built when you order it and shipped to you when they are ready.
In 15 to 20 years you will see this come to fruition. Largest car dealer in the world right now is ebay. Believe me, I have thought this through.

That’s very true. But if you want to drive to San Bernardino to negotiate then drive back there to get your car, then all the power to you.
If a dealer has a more convenient location, he should be able to charge more than the lowest common denominator.
As with a house, with a car, it comes down to what the customer can afford every month anyway. Price is not as important as the monthly car payments, if you take the financing into account.
I prefer paying cash and get a good deal; but that’s not the way the auto business works (nor does the housing business).
Service is over-rated. If it doesn’t bring in more money, service is useless. Do home buyers enjoy the process of buying a house, which they understand nothing about? They do it nonetheless.
We shall see in 15 to 20 years….

January 4, 2010 at 9:47 PM #499084ParticipantThe best technicians usually learn their craft at a dealership. From a sales stand point, at least for new cars sales people are there to essentially sit with you on test drive.
Lease, buy, or finance depends on the person. I could pay cash but prefer to finance because I typically find financing rates close to risk free rates of return and I like liquidity.
If I owned a business and had multiple vehicles, Leases would provide better cash flow and greater deductions. MACRES limits your deduction on a finance but section 179 rewards you on vehicles over 6000 GVW.
Under My system if a dealer had a more convenient location you would go to that location and register your intent to buy. You could ask questions do our test drive etc without any hassle. The dealer would go out of their way to please you because if they pissed you off you would register elsewhere. Price would not be the determinant.
Imagine getting a person who could tell you about disc brakes maintenance costs, fuel consumption, product recalls, design changes as opposed to some slap ass running back and forth to a sales manager seeing what price to offer. ridiculous.
