The thrust of my approach to the out-of-state dealers is they can cut their margin to the bone since they will never see me again. I'm someone else's problem. Surely that will free them to give me the lowest possible price since their involvement is just pushing paper. Right?
I not sure I understand then. Why will you cost them less money if you never see them again? They lose out on all service on your car and they can't expect you to buy another car from them. So what's their incentive to reduce their profit on your car?
Has this technique as you described worked for you in the past?
