The practice of dealers cuts isn’t aging well. Especially newer dealerships with a bunch of frufu bling when you step in; do they think buyers are idiots? They know they’re paying for all that in the sticker price.

Same with all the garbage they bundle. No telling how much Stellantis, GMC and such spend on infotainment systems that feel infuriating and awful compared to a mounted iPad.

It fits the 2020s theme of “everything feels like a scam”
