There are also, in some cases, sensible arguments for not necessarily buying from the dealer with the absolute lowest price (if applicable). Remember....sometimes you get what you pay for. The lowest-priced dealership could be relatively far away, have a crappy parts or service department (service can be crucially important), be on unstable financial footing and a possible candidate for going out of business, have rude or incompetent people, be difficult to reach in heavy traffic, or any one of a number of other credible reasons to avoid it. I'm not saying this is always the case, but my point is that, often, more than just the lowest price has to be taken into account.

A dealership that is far away is another's neighbor.

Just because you bought a car at a far away dealership doesnt mean you have to service it there.
