You’re fine… And correct… Back in the 40’s- 50s our parents set this business model up to be a negotiation venue. However people want to negotiate but they don’t want to do you want to negotiate back… So the dealer starts lowest possible to judge your stupidity, knowing you’re going to get them later on when you counter. It’s the basic KARRISS school of negotiating.
Dealers would be more than happy to go to one price system if the public would accept it. However they won’t. They still want to haggle on their trade, with packages etc. And one of the reasons the Tesla model (and APPL) works out well as there’s absolutely no negotiation for anything.
But the current dealer model is going away. Slowly. Everybody in the industry knows it. You will be left with getting your car from Internet, delivered by Carvana, and Walmart/AMZN with regional service. And there will be no negotiation, all 20 years from now. JMO....
