Is in-person car buying dead? It’s the question on every dealership’s mind—and in this episode, Travis Miller and Jimmy Vee break down the data that tells the real story.

From test drive statistics to customer psychology, we explore how in-person experiences still play a crucial role in the modern car buying journey.With 85% of buyers saying test drives are essential—and 95% of luxury buyers insisting on them—it’s clear the human connection still matters. But as tech giants and digital platforms push toward fully online car shopping, what does that mean for local dealerships?We share powerful insights into customer behavior, generational trends, and why confidence, value, and confidence in value are key drivers of satisfaction. You’ll learn why in-person dealerships still hold a competitive edge, how to leverage human relationships in a tech-driven world, and why the "miracle of the car business" is far from over.✅ Like, subscribe, and hit the bell so you don’t miss future episodes.✅ Join the conversation at BetterDealerships.com✅ Want real dealership growth?
