Does it really take all that much work to answer an email? I would think it would be preferable to spending 5 hours beating down someone to sell a car.
I mean the guy answering my email just has to look up their cost and shoot out an email with their offer. He is then free to go see other "ups" who may walk in. I reply with where my other offers are at and he counters. Then he goes and sees another "up". In the end we come to a price, I walk in and sign the papers. He just has to spend maybe 30 mins total on my deal and makes his commission. Yes the commission is perhaps less than what he could get the traditional way but I would think the volume would make up for that.
Besides, how long is the average lifespan of a car salesman?? If I buy a car today, what are the chances of me getting the same guy in 7 years? Not very likely. So, why not go straight for price? It's more important to me to have a good mechanic I will use multiple times over 7 years than a car salesman I will see once and likely never again.
