I test drove a few cars and I bought the car I preferred on the dot com of the car manufacturer.

I knew the displayed price was the real price.

Because I ordered it online, I could even return it up to two weeks after the delivery as the local law mandates.

Unfortunately, in the US most of those sales are still funneled through a dealership, and even a "direct" purchase is still usually subject to dealer markups and similar nonsense.

Yes, it's also the case in Norway. You don't have to buy a car from one of them.
