Right, so no one asked for a TED Talk, but ok.
A beat-to-shit old car isn't going to be sold off the lot of a reputable, sponsored dealership, it would almost definitely be sent to auction. This isn't a "cash cars" dealership. If they are showing fuckass cars that are filthy, they can lose not just their reputation but also their brand sponsorship. It's not just because it makes them look bad, brands have procedures, regulations, and standards that their sponsored dealerships are contractually obligated to follow.
Dealerships do body work on cars ALL the time when it will make them more money than taking them to auction, and those vehicles are kept off the sales lot until repairs are done, even at "cash for cars" type dealerships. If they *are* shown to a buyer, then the purchase will be on the condition that repairs will be made before delivery, OR the customer can *sometimes* negotiate the price to reflect existing damage, if they want to fix it themselves.
No dealership is going to repair every flaw on a used car; I've bought plenty of cars with minor scratches and dents, but no *reputable, sponsored* dealership is selling cars with bashed-in panels and allowing customers to pick up cars that are filthy.
You must be insufferable irl, I can't imagine someone so argumentative about something so irrelevant that they're also dead wrong about. Grow up.
