Some dealers don't negotiate- they charge the marked price. In my opinion, if a dealer lets you talk them down on asking price, they are either padding their asking price to begin with, or are hurting for cash. Nothing wrong with it, it's just how it is. Brewman

Honestly, I'd love to just walk into a showroom where the specs and price is posted so that I can just compare models at my pace without having to listen to a sales pitch. Just my two cents.
You may call it hunting a "deal" but I call it "just-trying-to-find-out-what-the-heck-this-thing-costs". I've not been to any dealer's showroom where the prices were posted - not one.
