America (CFA) released a study concluding that,
if anti-competitive state laws were repealed,
new car buyers would eventually save at least $20 billion a year
an average of $1,500 pervehicle.
Of particular concern to CFA,
and to consumers surveyed,
are new and threatened state
restrictions on Internet car sales.
"All credible research has found that anti-competitive state laws restricting new car sales
not only cost consumers billions of dollars annually right now,
but also severely limit the ability of
the auto industry to realize Internet-driven efficiency gains in the future,
" said CFA Research Director Dr. Mark Cooper,
author of the study,
"A Roadblock on the Information Superhighway:
Anti-Competitive Restrictions on Automotive Markets."
A related survey conducted for CFA by Opinion Research Corporation International
(ORCI)
found that consumers strongly oppose state restrictions on new car sales and strongly
desire the ability to purchase new cars through the Internet directly from manufacturers or third
parties.
"Consumers who have gotten used to shopping for many products through the Internet
now want a similar ability to purchase new cars online," said CFA Public Information Director
Jack Gillis, longtime author of "The Car Book" and other car-related publications.
