You pay a non insignificant amount more for this experience. Not that it isn't worth it to some people, you don't get a horrible price you're just guaranteed not a low price. True about the entire haggle free market though.
I likely don’t have the skills / patience necessary to get a better deal from a dealership anyway so just buying a car in my price range without the games works pretty well.
I pay not to have to deal with bullshit in a lot of areas of my life. Buying a car is the definition of “dealing with bullshit”. We have bought three of our last four cars from there and it always felt like a good experience.
We bought our son a 2010 Jeep Liberty from there in 2020. It constantly had little problems that they would fix without a hassle for the first few months.
Out of the blue, they called me and offered to reimburse me for one months payment on top of offering reimbursement on a car rental - they didn’t have to do either.
We ended up turning down the car rental since I was working remotely by then and I just let him use my car.
