American car dealers lobby congress to SPECIFICALLY prevent what you are describing. Car dealers exist only to mark up cars between the manufacturer and customer and make excuses for profiteering when they are creating an artificial market where the customer has NO CHOICE but to buy from a dealer network. If there was the option to buy directly from the factory, dealers would be kept honest by having a realease valve for their ludicrious prices.
You honestly think the manufacturers would be against selling directly to the public?
