Dealerships are there to make money, bottom line. And why shouldn’t they try? They have a lot of overhead to pay for- building maintenance, lot maintenance, utilities, advertising, office/appointment scheduling staff, finance staff, sales managers, parts department staff, parts inventory, shop mechanics, liability insurance, lease payment if they don’t own the land the dealership is on, etc..etc… It’s very expensive to own and run a full blown car dealership. People act like dealerships have no expenses. That’s just not true.
That said, for better deals go to high volume dealerships or smaller family owned dealerships that are established with a good reputation and have been in business a while. I did the latter and had a really good buying experience.
If you go to a medium or small volume dealership, including ones that change ownership too much, prepare to get squeezed as much as possible because they need the money.
