Ed Brooks, there is a big difference between squaring away the pre-paperwork process online and doing the deal for a car as we would buy a pair of shoes through a shopping cart over the net. 


While their may be the ability for a dealer to sell online in the pure sense, it's a very dangerous move to make as once this happens, manufacturers could follow which could have very dire consequences for dealers.
