Where and how you buy your car is limited by old law.
Most Americans can buy a car in any way they like. But in your state, the law prohibits buying from automakers that sell cars directly to you and not through dealerships. These rules, written decades before "direct car sales" existed, still dictate how you can buy cars today.
Want to know prices, take a test drive or discuss financing or leasing with a carmaker that sells directly? Today you have to cross a state line to do it. About half of all US states have already modernized their laws — yours has not. The result is higher car prices, less convenience and more confusion.
Lawmakers in your state can update this old ruling to let you buy directly from car companies like most Americans already can, while protecting jobs and business of existing dealerships. Help us bring this common sense fix to your state!

$4,300
in estimated savings on a single new car, when the company that builds it is allowed to sell it straight to you.
The U.S. Department of Justice Antitrust Division estimates that selling directly, rather than through a dealer network, takes about 8.6% out of the cost of getting a car from the factory to its buyer. Applied to the average new-vehicle transaction price of $50,089 in August 2026 (Kelley Blue Book), that is roughly $4,300 per vehicle.
