OK. Nine brilliant seasons of Seinfeld. I just love the series. But "The Dealership" was the one stinker out of the batch. I hadn't seen it in years. When I re-watched it recently my immediate reaction was OMG. Absurdist? I guess. But what it really had was 22 minutes of George yelling, non-stop. I get it that he was "starving" because he hadn't had lunch. And Seinfeld always had a line that they walked between "This is hilarious." and "This is stupid." In 99% of the episodes they stayed on the correct side of that line. This one? Definitely not. Oh well, into every series a little rain must fall. This was Seinfeld's "shower."
Puddy is working in a car dealership. Jerry needs a car and figures to get a good deal because he knows Puddy. He brings George with him who has great hostility toward car salesmen--saying they are crooks. But Elaine breaks up with him (for the twelfth time) and he becomes a car shopper's worst nightmare. While this is going on, George tries to buy a candy bar in a machine and the bar gets stuck. He gets more change and when he comes back, the candy bar is gone and he is convinced a mechanic "stole" it. He carries on, trying to get the mechanic fired. Of course, he sounds like an idiot. Kramer comes in and looks at the car Jerry may buy and gets a salesman to go with him on a test drive, leading to a possible Thelma and Louise moment, There are several choice moments. The Kramer one goes on too long.
A whole entire episode at the dealership... What can possibly go wrong? High-5.

About: Jerry is getting ripped by a Grease Monkey
George feuds with Ned or Kip who steals his chocolate bar. Plus George goes 1 v all vs the greedy naughty dealership
Kramer takes a joyride
Elaine is a Bword.
Story and production: Story was busy and active with many things going on. Yet again Georges story carries the episode.
Jerry's storyline with puddy was okay. I didn't care much for Elaine's story because she was Bword.
Highlight: George's story.
Mental Hospital qoute.
Laugh Meter: 7
What can be learned?: Bring a lunch
Goof: How did George buy all those chocolates? Why didn't he just do that in the first place?
Should you watch this?: Yes. It's a fancy episode.
