    So then there should be a petition to stop people from buying them and flipping them also? Or we talking a 1 way street?

    Don't buy from the dealer, let them sit on the inventory and eat it.. When shopping for new vehicles it's best if possible to do it over the phone especially the financial part of it, they can't wear you down over the phone. Also think about buying the vehicle in another state.

    This is America. If you don't like the price, don't buy the car.

    I have a good friend who works for a company that does the software for the automobile manufacturers. They are planning to eliminate dealerships all together. Mercedes has already started in Europe. I love my PCP Scat Pack, but since Carlos Tavares and Tim Kuniskis want to act like buttholes, I’ll never buy another Stellantis product. I’m currently searching all legal remedies to determine the best options.

    The dealerships will no longer be franchised, but operated directly by the manufacturer. The prices on parts and the vehicles will be MSRP, but I haven’t yet heard what they will do about the prices for service.

    The current car dealer model was archaic in the Carter administration. Car salesmen are parasites that have convinced the host they are vital organs.
