Dealers pick cars up at the factory and drive them to their dealerships a lot. This can save the dealer a lot of mony on shipping charges which are always passed on to the consumer. I have a friend whos dad used to own Knoeble Chrysler/Plymouth in northern Indiana. He bought his brand new red 71 383 Cuda that way. Which just last year sold at Barret Jackson for $100,000. I also know of a dealer in central indiana who would hire retired folks to ride together in a passenger van to Detroit, and drive back 5 or 6 cars.
