I have heard various reasons, but accept none of them. I state if they don't trust me then I don't trust them and tell them to forget it. I have never failed to purchase a vehicle following that scenario.
Before retiring I bought quite a number of company vehicles for our sales force. Before the internet I typed (yes, on a typewriter!) a list of options I required on said vehicle. I really didn't care what make vehicle. I then went to every car dealer in about a hundred mile radius. I told them what I wanted, left them the list of options required, and asked them to get back to me within a given amount of time. I told them I was giving this to every dealer in said area, and whoever had the best price would get the cash sale. It was amazing how low the prices were and how much money I saved. When the internet came along it made it sooooo much easier!!
