It is amazing that during a time when most new car dealers are practically giving away the store to get you to buy one of their products, Smart dealers are not only demanding full MSRP but wanted some "butt kissing" in order to earn the right to "buy" from them. The truth is most Smart Car dealers need to "sell" a lot more than the people need to buy. It is about time they check back with reality.

I believe the smart dealer in Buffalo, NY closed due to insufficient sales. It can happen.

A person can really like a product but not like the dealers associated with the product and even though the product is liked and desired they may refuse to accept the dealers.

Yes the the dealer who didn't put customer first gets slammed by word of mouth and are soon wondering why the golden goose died.
