Date: March 3rd, 2026 9:42 AM Author: bat shit crazy space double fault Just saying they don’t at all have a moral high ground. I didn’t even mention the nepotism and good ol’ boys network. It’s basically the same shit as GC but at a much smaller and ignominious scale. Btw you are engaging in Whataboutism and I won’t stand for it.

Date: March 3rd, 2026 9:36 AM Author: Haunting Supple Halford It's a classic case of public choice theory. Consumers would love to just skip the bullshit and buy direct from the manufacturer. Manufacturers would love to skip the bullshit and sell direct to the consumer. The only players who like the car dealership model are the parasites who own car dealerships, but because they care a LOT more than anybody else, it persists. Carmax/Carvana/etc. aside, it's actually remarkable how resistant these worthless entities have been to disruption. (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=5840889&forum_id=2#49710930) |

Date: March 3rd, 2026 9:39 AM Author: Haunting Supple Halford They would compete with each other on price. This happens all the time and is why you can buy a decent poasting computer for $150 these days. If there were "computer dealerships" then a 486 would still cost $2,500 and they would upsell you on a service plan. (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=5840889&forum_id=2#49710944) |

Date: March 3rd, 2026 9:44 AM Author: Big maroon prole liquid oxygen computers have no value any more which is why they cost nothing. TVs also cost like $62 to make so they can sell them for $400 and make money. ppl actually need and use cars. auto companies know this and aren't going to sell someone a car for $30K when they're willing to pay $40K (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=5840889&forum_id=2#49710956) |

"I am aware $30K cars exist. $40K cars also exist. you seem foreign."
So if we take out the middleman, auto companies aren't going to do the thing that they're currently doing? |

Date: March 3rd, 2026 1:48 PM Author: Big maroon prole liquid oxygen they'll still sell the $30K car for $30K and the $40K car for $40K. they'll make more money and you'll get even worse customer service. (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=5840889&forum_id=2#49711864) |

Date: March 3rd, 2026 9:57 AM Author: disturbing idea he suggested digit ratio have you ever looked into the legal wizardry employed to justify allowing new automakers like tesla to sell direct but not legacy ones? its all fraud and lies.

Date: March 3rd, 2026 10:08 AM Author: Marvelous market wrinkle Dealers are full of scum, for sure, but they also operate a very low margin business that plays a necessary role in the car market. The low margin nature of the business is in part why it is full of scum.
Going direct to consumer would either involve making all cars to order (not actually reasonable outside of elite luxury brands, and even then it's not really workable) or having automakers operate dealerships themselves to move inventory. Why would Toyota or BMW want to get directly involved with the dealer market? Do they really want to start holding onto trade-ins from other brands? It's just not a core competency and the dealer business is difficult and low margin, hence why it is full of scumbags to begin with.
What's more, I think most people's beef with dealerships is the service department. Unless you're in warranty, they will try and fuck you in the ass for shit you don't actually need. But there's also no need to take your car to the dealer for maintenance. Plenty of independent shops that cost a fraction of the dealer's service department (even if they also try and fuck you in their own way.) |

Date: March 3rd, 2026 10:13 AM Author: disturbing idea he suggested digit ratio but they *do* want to get into the market. they've lobbied forever to eliminate laws mandating dealerships. that has ramped up significantly as exceptions have been made to permit tesla to sell directly to consumers.

Date: March 3rd, 2026 10:18 AM Author: Marvelous market wrinkle I know that Ford was pushing to do this on the EV side. But how much of this was predicated on going full EV (and therefore having less maintenance to provide)?
Maybe I'm offbase, but running dealerships seems like a huge headache. Is it really so attractive to automakers when the market is shit (as it is now.) |

Date: March 3rd, 2026 10:32 AM Author: disturbing idea he suggested digit ratio nah ding. im a bit of MFE on this since i did some work involving these laws and lobbying. legacy automakers campaigned HARD against the exceptions. and theyre right, it is unfair.
as you said, autosales in a low margin business. cutting out a huge middleman is very significant when ever dollar counts. there is a reason why tesla, rivian, etc are all direct. |
