Allow customers to buy cars directly from manufacturers. Dealers are optional

The residents of New Jersey are being denied options of purchasing vehicles that aren't sold by a car dealer.

Current law is that if you're manufacturing, assembling or importing a car, then you can't sell a car.

It made sense in pre-internet days. However, now, people can research cars, see options and get a visualization of what their car will look like and how much it costs. If they want to buy from a dealer and pay an overhead for the middle-man, its up to them. But they should be given an option to buy the car directly from a manufacturer and have it delivered, or pick up from a service center.

Dealers make sense only as a manufacturer-approved-repair-center. A place where recalls and warranty items can be addressed. Even for that, manufacturers should be allowed to build their own repair shops where repairs are documented and made to dealer standards.

This petition is requesting the governor's office of NJ to fight for the public and look out for our general interest. Give us the choice to make our decisions. Live by republican standards, if nothing else. Let the market make its choices.
