I can't wait until the future has no more dealers. If we like a car, we go on a website and order it and someone drops it off at our house, given a 20 minute test drive before we sign papers and that's it. No more fucking nonsense from dumbass car salesmen.
Unpopular opinion here... but I prefer the dealer network over direct sales. I consider myself a savvy shopper and as a result am able to put in a little legwork to get a much better than average deal for myself (in normal times). And since I go in knowledgeable, no dealer BS gets to me because I'm able to smell it a mile away.

A direct sales approach removes that ability and im stuck paying what everyone else pays. There's NO room for negotiation and I'm at the mercy of manufacturer pricing. I prefer the competition between multiple dealers and my ability to shop around.
