Oh, would they? Would you rather make X amount selling 100 cars per month or that same X amount selling 10 cars per month (oh, and cars basically selling themselves at this point so you don't even have to do anything as a salesman)?
Honestly, as a business-person myself....I never understood why dealers wanted all these cars unsold sitting in lots. It just seems a huge waste of money.
