The way consumers buy cars is changing. Customers are now far better informed prior to entering a dealership, and the rise of the use of the Internet and mobile browsing is a major factor in this change. There is often a disconnect between the high-tech customer’s online browsing experience and the traditional in-dealership buying experience in which sales occur right by the vehicle itself.
