Toyota to start selling direct to customers
Good news for consumers. Tesla changed the game by refusing to have a dealer network.

The dealership network is antiquated and has pissed off OEMs by screwing customers with dealer mark-ups of $10k+ on certain vehicles.

This is going to be a slow process, but a move in the right direction.

Test drives and maintenance will be done like Tesla's model.

I say it's about damn time to get rid of the leaches.

What say you?

I've bought and sold 60 cars since I was 15. The only time I've gone to a dealer is to trade in a car on its last legs. What happens to the trade ins?

yes, they do. Auto dealer lobby is strong in this state and they want their dealership investment to be protected.

If you want to buy a Tesla, you go to a showroom and figure out which one you want, go back home and purchase it online and have it shipped to Texas to be picked up at a Tesla Service Center.

This article is a couple of years old but not much has changed.

The same thing that milkmen and typewriter repairmen did when their lines of work became obsolete.

I have never had a good experience at a dealership and it's mostly due to the finance people. I've had really good salesman though

I've been in tech for 25 years. I started out in DOS and mainframe. You think there are many jobs in 2024 that need those skills?

I have to learn new skills and get different experience as the field changes and its always changing.

This is true for everyone in the tech field. So if we have to reeducate ourselves all the time, our whole careers it's not a crime to ask antiquated fields to learn new skills instead of paying for services we don't need anymore.

I love Burt and his brother Dale. But, being friends with someone doesnt stop the march of technology.

Burt had some health issues for awhile. Got a new bride. Don't know how often he posts here.

From my understanding the dealerships here make a ton of campaign contributions and have a very strong lobby.
