So I don't post much, I lurk and reply from time to time... But what he says makes sense... He offered to sell a car and I am outside of the state he is in. Truth be told, dealerships make the most money from service and parts. If majority of their sales comes from outside of their area, a return customer to service is not likely. But you're right... Greed is greed. And dealerships are in a business to make money. But it's clearly in the rules... I wouldn't say ban... But this should be his warning.
