Maybe you need to keep Carvana alive. Vending machines have no fine print.

What the hell? This can't be true.
That's false advertising !!! I'll bet medication commercials drive GrandSportC3 bonkers. So much fine print and the verbal warnings talking while he's trying to read. Pro-tip: Negotiating a price with the dealership is intended to make the buyer feel like they pulled a fast one when in fact they are NEVER getting away with anything the dealer hasn't already decided they can afford to give up. |

I’ve never felt like that. I know the dealer is a business that must make a profit to stay in business. When I negotiated the deal on our new Explorer last month I came away with a decent deal and they made some profit. I could have maybe negotiated them down a few hundred dollars more but on a $70k vehicle it wasn’t worth my time to do that. |

2) yes, you can fly at the advertised price. I do it all the time. Just took my daughter to NYC for $84 round trip per person and that's what we paid. When checking in, you can deny every upgrade. You are not forced to take them 3) you are presented with a choice of trims. You can choose to go with the lowest trim. Nobody forces you to upgrade. 4) I don't know about swimming pools. Never had one built or bought one. |

The only reason to want to keep it the way it is is to mislead people. There are a million things in our laws that are standardized even if you don't like some of it... like car's mpg or range etc. All those things have a standard on how to determine that. What's wrong with applying the same to new car pricing? |

Sure, if you trust the entity that you sign a contract with, there usually is no issue but if you do the same for someone who wants to screw you.. you will end up getting screwed. |

In context of the discussion the only issue is the cost. And at the point of contract price has already been determined. All that's necessary is confirm the numbers. If that is outside your abilities you probably should use public transportation. |

Who in the hell is arguing about PRICING? You're saying that the government should regulate how search engines display results on privately held websites so it makes your search easier. That has nothing to do with PRICING. It has nothing to do with the MARKET. After this many posts, how is it possible that you still don't even understand the argument? |

Crazy thought, how about you actually take just a little bit of responsibility for your own shit. You've now jumped from being too lazy to read Autotrader to dealers apparently sneaking things into contracts. Again, what in the shit are you even arguing? Please detail what exactly these shady, unethical, and immoral new car franchise dealers can "sneak in" to the back end of a contract that will "screw" you. And keep in mind, your entire argument revolves around NEW cars, not "Bob's Buy Here Pay Here House of Used Shit." |

Yes, I understand that. As long as there is a disclaimer in small print somewhere on the page, they can protect themselves legally from claims that they didn't state certain things. Dealers will do whatever they can to make people NOT look at the disclaimer.. It's usually in very small print with a small asterisk on the bottom of the page. The WHOLE intent of showing a much lower price that you will actually pay is to mislead. There is no other reason. Sure, people like you and me won't get easily misled but as I said before. A sucker is born every day. This doesn't mean that those people deserve to get screwed because they didn't win in the IQ lottery.

When you do, keep in mind that absolutely every penny of a sale is detailed on the very first bill of sale summary. So rather than hypothetical crap, tell us what, exactly, "sneaky car dealers" are putting in contracts. |
