Yes, the internet has a wealth of information but that doesnt mean salesmen are not making money. It costs less money for dealers to use the internet to make sales opposed to having a huge facility and paying X number of employees as well. In fact, an internet based dealership stands to make even more money that way. It also comes down to supply and demand. Especially with the 2011s right now. I know Im paying too much for my car but I wanted it and it was the only one available so I took it. In fact, the salesmen even said take it or leave it (and he meant it- 100%). Im sure this situation isnt exclusive to me either and I definitely was an informed consumer. Just sayin'.
