Because the customer getting the best price is directly at odds with the salesman getting the best commission. The entire system boils down to the sales team seeing how much they can get you to pay and still sign on the dotted line. They have ZERO incentive to actually try and get you a legitimate discount. The best they can do is try and make you THINK you're getting a deal because they didn't fuck you QUITE as hard as they could have.

And then pretend to sympathize with the customer when the office guys start piling on fees.
