I think if you did a survey, 90% or more of consumers would rather have it this way.
Most of the Managers and salesman I know are tired of the pricing and competition.

But they are a young and small enterprise. Many items work in a certain market but not in a larger market. Why hasn't Toyota adopted it yet?
Not talking about previous year models or about to be aged. I am talking about the current model year car. If I had a bunch of them, I'd be more motivated to move them than a better selling one.
Hence the popular appeal of communism. I am making minimum wage. But of course, I would want all salaries to be averaged. If I am on top, not so good. Now, would those 90% still want it that way if the prices went up? I think not. I think most of them are too lazy to shop around. Take my example with the Firebird. I could have cost myself more on my trade in by taking the first guy simply because I was too LAZY to try another salesman in the same company but different location.
As to the managers and salespeople, did you ever ask them why they say that? I suspect they are tired of the competition as you mentioned. They would rather have less work when it comes to someone asking them to beat the other dealer price. Now they can say "The price you see is the price you get". No need to get creative or try to beat it.
