Haggling is defiantly a thing in the UK you wouldn't buy a car for sticker price.

Prior to 2020 this was true; I think I got around 13% off my last new car. However since the pandemic shortages and with manufacturing delays, there is much less flexibility as the dealerships know the cars are going to sell either way. When I went to test drive a car recently I saw a couple getting a flat denial on any discount even after attempting to haggle.

Maybe they were actors employed by the store to discourage haggling among other customers by providing negative social proof

Those are next level psychological operations

COVID era supply was impacted and demand was high. US car dealers routinely sold cars way above MSRP too.
