Do you want to outlaw direct-to-consumer auto sales and ensure all cars must be bought from a dealer? Have you heard about SB 5377?
If you've had to deal with deceptive business practices, dealer markups, or the higher prices that come with auto dealers, you might be interested in how SB 5377 will protect local dealers and car-buyers from the lower prices offered by direct to consumer auto sales, all under the guise of "fairness", as if consumers are incapable of deciding how they want to buy a car.
The senate democrats website openly celebrates how good this law will be for auto dealerships, as if that isn't obviously at the cost of car buyers:
“The dealership model has benefitted dealers, consumers and communities alike for generations, particularly in rural Washington,” said Sen. Mike Chapman, co-sponsor of the bill. “Auto dealers play a large role in every community through charitable work, sponsorship of community events and most important, the creation of family-wage jobs. Direct sales give one company an unfair advantage and provide little to no accountability for the car-buying public.”
Of course, you can always tell your representative how you feel about expanding the reign of auto dealers and prohibiting the direct to consumer sales model: https://app.leg.wa.gov/billsummary?BillNumber=5377&Year=2025&Initiative=false&utm_campaign=website&utm_medium=email&utm_source=sendgrid.com#documentSection
