Currently you get cars at less than MSRP, so the haggle is built into the system. You can't remove the haggling unless MSRPs come down at the same time.
It would be awesome to know that the "price is the price" and not have to spend days prepping for going in to the dealer, but I don't know that I could ever trust a dealer at this point in my life.
Every car brand should ditch dickering/haggling. ...Car dealers don't make their keep on new car sales, they do make it on service and add ons.
The low new car price is there to get the owner into the system, then the reality hits.

haggling is common practice. It kinda embarrasses me when we go to places like Nordstroms and she starts haggling. I slink away playing like "I don't know who this lady is".
When we lived in NY, one of the times we went to Manhattan, she got haggling with a Nigerian selling knockoff Rolex watches on the street. He started out asking for $250. After walking away several times, she had him in tears (probably false) when he accepted $10 for the watch...... and he was probably still making a profit. She can be absoutely ruthless and tough. What a great lady!!!!!

Good, dickering is one of the WORST experiences of purchasing a new car. A relic from years ago, the car industry should have banned it long ago.

... our members here!
Good going! HAHAHAHA!
Hey... It has always fascinated me that we will go into a grocery store and pay whatever is marked for our apples and other edible goods. In most other countries, they haggle over the price for a single pear!
In those same countries... they pay whatever is marked plus outrageous shipping charges for their automobiles... and we here in the States will hardly NEVER pay what is asked!
Yet some of us have been known to actually pay a PREMIUM over and above the MSRP for the NEWEST or an extremely popular car!
Then again some of us have friends... who owe us... and collect on those debts. I dunno what my brother Giuseppe has on the Las Vegas Dealers Association... but I got tremendous deals on my last three new cars through him... delivered to my home in CA... after they "fell off a truck"...
