My suggestion is not only good for the consumer, but good for the dealership.
If all you salesman constantly complain about how little you make, go find another line of work!

Americans will never buy cars this way, unless it does indeed become the norm.
Americans want a car now when they go shopping....not weeks from now.
That's why dealers not only have to keep a large inventory on hand, but also seem to have to do a lot of trading around because out of the 100 cars we may have in inventory at any given time, the ones we have are never equipped just right.
Auto nation tried to revolutionize the business and failed miserably.
Saturn is no longer around, and I'd say it's only a matter of time before Carmax goes away too.
By and large, everyone is conditioned to and likes to beat up a sales guy for a "good Deal"
