Maybe. But then that wouldn't really decrease the "MSRP" either since there would still be a fee involved....people don't mind paying 1100 for destination fee or 2000 for gas guzzler tax and there is no added value for those. How dare the middle man with a truck add cost to my car when the manufacturer could just bring it to the dealer from the port for free or absorb the cost into the MSRP, lol.
What anti-dealer people are really anti are the plaid jacket smokers with no manners giving poor excuses to charge them for worthless products for $25 spiffs. This is not a dealer franchise model problem. This is an individual business owners business model problem. If people would stop buying cars from idiots and be honest about why they bought from Dealer B that takes care of people then Dealer A either goes out of business or makes changes.
