Here in the Motor City, we have the mafia, that goes by the Detroit Auto Dealers Association. Back in the 70s, they demanded all dealers be closed on Saturdays. One dealer ignored that, and opened on a Saturday. By Monday, every window in the building was smashed, and new cars damaged. No dealer opened on Saturdays again, for 30 years, until DADA changed, and said they can open Saturdays. They limit the deals, so all dealers around, give about the same lame discounts. We don't even have independent dealers here anymore. All the dealerships are owned by conglomerates, that own at least 20 dealerships. Even if they run under different names, they have the same parent company. I went into one Ford dealer here, and they had a sign on the wall, about their company. They own over 50 dealerships in 6 states. They all have set prices. I found it amazing, that living 10 miles from the plant, I could go 1,400 miles away, and ordinary people can walk in off the street, and buy a truck, for thousands less than an employee can, in Michigan.
