All car dealers have to give you the current factory incentives for new and used vehicles. They vary among brands. The cost of new cars is pretty competitive among all dealers, so that shouldn't be a factor. It's the dealer's perks that make the difference. Factories do not regulate the perks.

Dealers service dept. varies widely. Factories don't regulate the service other than warrantee service. This is where most problems are, on regular maintenance.

As for buying a vehicle, sales can get what you want, and you can dicker perks, such as dealer ABC is offering lifetime car washes, you want it too. I would rather buy local, and that will be my first choice.

For warranty work and dealers' service dept can do that. I buy a car in NH and get my warrantee work in Colorado, no problems. Otherwise, I support my local indie.
