Auto-By-Tel, which is based in Corona del Mar, California, works through 1,300 dealers, who pay as much as $1,500 a month to join the network and agree in advance to charge a low fixed amount over a vehicle's invoice price.

Never mind that few bananas are grown in the U.S. or that only a handful of American jobs was at stake.
