Uhhhh the car buying process is so different than any other industry that comparing it to buying a toaster is disingenuous. What if I told you, "you're not allowed to buy this toaster from Cuisinart directly." Not only that but you must go to a store with a mark up to buy the toaster. Would you feel the same?
That’s fair. They act like a cartel in practice, not just a retailer.
And you need to negotiate the price in a back room.
Whatever you do don't let them sell you undercoating for your toaster
Different than any other industry? Have you ever tried to buy parts for your HVAC system? Or parts/software to repair your tractor? Or warranty work for your appliance? It's all the same, you need to go through the 'authorized service department' to get anything from those companies.
