The reason dealers are allowed to get by what they pull is two fold. G R E E D and politicians.
You see, dealerships have much more money than many individuals. Politicians have passed laws that actually protect dealerships, NOT citizens like they are elected to do.
Case in point. Can anyone read those tiny disclamiers that show up on the screen? Can anyone understand the hyper talking over voice?
It should be against the law for any dealer to add anything to a new car that increases profits unless it is requested by the purchaser.
What they do is add several "upgrades" like the rust and paint protectors. They mark them up exponentially and create an "adjusted MSRP" which should be illegal. This is what they use to "deal down" when a customer wants to deal. So, they are not giving up anything other than excessive profits on items that are not wanted or really needed.
There are several levels of "price" on most vehicles. "MSRP", "dealer cost", and the true price that they actually pay. Most dealers can sell EVERY vehicle at delaer cost and make a very good living. They get hold backs and all types of incentives everytime the sell a vehicle.
It"s not the dealer that deal straight that typically go out of business. It is the ones that screw everyone and the word finally gets around enough that folks do not step on to the lot.
They sell it, or change the name and start over.

Today's Featured Article - Old Time Threshing - by Anthony West. A lovely harvest evening late September 1947, I was a school boy, like all school boys I loved harvest time. The golden corn ripens well and early, the stoking, stacking,.... the drawing in with the tractors and trailers and a few buck rakes thrown in, and possibly a heavy horse. It would be a great day for the collies and the terrier dogs, rats and mice would be at the bottom of the stacks so the dogs, would have a busy time hunting and killing, all the corn was gathered and ricked in what we c ...
