> dealing with vehicle registration, insurance and financing.
Isn't this just more middlemen they set you up with, and government bureaucracy that ought to be self-evident?
From what I hear the average dealership is about the worst option, the typical sales swindle of information asymmetry and other adversarial games? I mean, it's basically right there in the name.
Yeah what I hate about dealerships is that they usually have at least four ways to screw you, and it's pretty hard for a layperson to negotiate fairly on all of them.
ie. Trade in price for old car, purchase price for new car, rate of finance, cost of extended warranties.
You can do three out of four things by your own. But is it easier if a dealership takes care of that for you? For sure. Will they take a share of everything then? For sure.
I don't understand all the complaining about dealerships in this thread, but maybe it's because I'm from the EU.

Granted, most of my knowledge is second hand..
