I guess what I was inartfully trying to say was, the costs of, say, having administration and staff to deliver Silverados, or Cruzes, to buyers in the factory parking lot would be offset by the savings realized by not having to ship the cars being delivered on site.

If logistics, getting vehicles to dealerships is a problem, this might be one way to lessen the logjam. I'm just thinking it would be easier to arrange shipping for 95 cars than it would be to arrange shipping for 100 cars.
