While I'm reasonably good at haggling, I really don't care for it. Just put a fair price on the car and skip the car salesman bullshit.

I agree with that. I bought two cars in the past 20 years that I didn't even see first. I called the salesman, a guy I knew since we were boys and told him what I wanted on the car and asked what price he could do, because I'd already priced the car and knew what it should be. He gave me the price, I gave him the money and neither of us felt cheated. I don't mind what I think is a fair mark-up, because that dealership has to pay its adminstration staff and keep the light bill current. I just will not be hosed.
