I agree and I wish there was a better solution. In the US you're paying sales tax with new cars as well as used so at least it's apples-to-apples in this conversation. And with cars it can vary sometimes where you purchase or where you live depending on your jurisdiction. I do think with a car thats something you need to shop around for.

I wish the US could suck it up and have correct price labelling. I don't care if they relabel products and it varies location to location or if the price is the same nationally and varying amounts get skimmed out (like credit card fees).
