I have little faith in "no haggle pricing." I think that is just the trend in car sales. Anyone can say "no haggle", but what exactly does it mean? If I pay someone to put synthetic in my car, how do I know they really put in synthetic, not 7-11 brand oil? To me, someone saying "no haggle" is like going to a stripper club and thinking "hey, maybe she's really into ME" as I sneak some $$$ into her perfumed lingerie.

I want something straight up- for example, I knew a guy who had a dealer license. He said "for $1500, you write down exactly what you are looking for make, color, price, mileage, options. When I find it, I call you on the spot, send you the info, and I bid on your behalf to the price you are willing to pay..." To me, that is the ultimate "no haggle" guarantee- I know exactly what his margins are and still have control over the sale.

I Never did it- but I liked the idea. I could see where he'd hit an auction with a number of client request, and bid on their behalf. I never trusted it because I couldn't get my hands on the maintenance history or test drive it to make sure something wasn't amuck, or look under the engine to see the oil leaks, but at least it seemed straightforward.

For me, for someone to say "no haggle" -I'd want them to say, "I bought this car for x." I invested x in detailing it and checking out it's history. It cost me x to store it. I sell it for x+1. Here is my margin after all expenses. Take it or leave it. ... That I would respect.
