It seems to be mostly tech workers who pine for the "buy it now" experience for car shopping. They all seem to know exactly what make, model, and color they want, and they never buy used.

Everyone else has a budget, coupled with a wide range of what they consider an acceptable car - which is why test driving and "show me what else is on the lot" will always be a thing.
