I've never ordered a new car or a new truck. Being retired, I find exactly what I want already sitting on some dealer's lot and then try to come to an agreement on price.
I'd be pizzed and frosted paying $1100 delivery fee for a new truck, when I could probably fly out and drive it off the parking lot where it was made and drive it home myself.
It's one thing to pay for delivery if it came across the pond on a boat from Germany or Bratislava Slovakia, like my Touareg, it's another thing when it's made right here in the good old USA. Dealer prep nowadays, and dealer inspection pre delivery are laughable, IMHO, it never seems to get accomplished or done.
For me, internet sales has been where it's at. And the future of where it may be going.
