You've got a point there, esp. if you needed tons of advice & counsel. Some folks (my best friend among them) actually find that even the much-maligned new-car dealerships still provide them/him with some added value that a dreamed-for-by-me direct link into the car-maker's online ordering/production/inventory/shipping system(s) would not equal. BAH-Humbug, I say, froggling away at my lonely keyboard.
