I don't like the time it takes to get to their bottom line price. I only buy cars from private parties now. There's usually a little bit of negotiation but it typically takes about 5 minutes to get to an agreement... no mystery departures to a back room to talk to the "manager" etc.
I don't think buying a new car makes any sense anymore. At one time, when cars started to fall apart after 50,000 miles, it may have made more sense. Today, when with routine maintenance almost all new cars will go 200,000 miles or more with few major problems, it isn't a good deal. Let someone else take the depreciation hit.
