BTW, my experience is auto dealerships, or stealerships are owned/operated and run by some of the most low life, corrupt swindling AH’s on the planet. Course most know this.
Takes a special person to work in one of those dives...
That’s because they’re set up in a kind of guild socialism structure and you have to jump through all sorts of hoops to get or start one. It’s why Musk was getting so much grief over selling Teslas from kiosk stores IIRC.
