No, I think having TrueCar (in it's current form) as a sales partner is a good thing. They are servicing a particular buyer and they don't make up a large percentage of a dealer's sales so it's a trade off to move vehicles but you sacrifice gross. My concern is as this form of car buying increases, third party services like TrueCar, Cars.com, AutoTrader, etc. will start doing the sales floor's job and dealers will lose a lot of leverage in the process. It might be a long-shot but I think it's possible in the next 5-10 years.
