Of course. Again, I'm not expecting dealers to get wiped out. I just expect there will be some shift. Arguably there already has been. Most dealerships have set up internet sales option now too, and likely sell some cars that way. It's not that much of a stretch for there to be internet sales from places other than a dealership.BIG difference in easily bought, delivered and returned items in the 4 digits, and an item in the 5 digits that takes special delivery and not easily returned.
People put 4 digit purchases on debit/credit cards all the time. Very few people are doing 5 digits out of a bank account/credit card. They require a loan that needs collateral and special processing.
Obviously delivery of a car requires more expense and special arrangements than a book or a sweater. Amazon had to set up a special delivery when I bought my treadmill through them, for instance.
But that doesn't mean it can't be done. It just doesn't have to be done via a traditional dealership all the time.
