I wish them the best of luck but dealerships are pretty entrenched in their ways.<p>Just went through the car buying experience recently and the best way by far was to blast emails to all dealers with the <i>specific</i> trim+options we wanted and then use their written quotes to leverage against each other. I explicitly didn&#x27;t do anything over the phone for this exact reason.<p>One thing I found fascinating was that the local Subaru dealers was totally cool with this approach while trying to talk to Mazda dealers was like pulling teeth to get a window sheet or quote. Subaru took us ~2 days to nail down while Mazda was ~1.5 week of back and forth.<p>The Tesla experience still beats all of them hands-down(we&#x27;d rather own a second Telsa if it was feasible) so I hope they can mix up things in some manner.
