I did not say there were not agreements in place that would have to be altered in fact I have no idea what agreements do or dont reside between the dealer and the manufacture. I am sure you are far more aware of this than I am. Changing anything is a bitch, no doubt, and this change might be impossible I have no idea. But car dealers have been the LETS MAKE A DEAL group forever, I guess that can not be changed either but it sure seems to me that I have never talked with any other person who looks forward to dealing with a dealer. It is what it is and I will continue to think that there is a better way to sell cars. 50 years ago there was no internet, there was hardly any television, but info today is available to anyone who wants to get the info, from the manufacture and endless opinions like this form and magazines etc etc. I suppose there is a camaro twitter thing going on. Again I dont know, dont care. I simply think that with all this data available, dealers need to get off the perch and get some reality going. Again I am sure there are dealers that are honest, and work to help the client, and no doubt that buyer comes back again and again. On my semipro football team one of the players sells chevy products he said that the dealer could only make 800 bucks profit, which makes no sense so maybe GM is squeezing these guys and they have no recourse. The truth of all this is hard to find, too bad. Maybe one of the dealers on this site could fill us all in, unless its a big secret.
