I've bought a few cars from dealers in recent years and honestly the experience was ok to fine. In every case I knew which vehicle I wanted to buy before contacting the dealer, so perhaps that makes a difference. Through the whole process where they try to make you buy warranties and so on, I just say "I feel lucky", and chuckle a bit. If they ask about another warranty, I repeat "I feel really lucky", again jovially. Nobody has tried to ask a third time.

Dealers can be pretty decent if you know a good one and just say no.

Or ask why they offer a warranty if the car’s so good. The answers are always amusing.

There's also the fact that nobody ever brags about turning down all the dealer options like warranties and wheel protection and then actually gets bad curb rash or a $3500 bill for a timing belt replacement.
