10 minutes to make the deal. That's all that is needed. 50 minutes to play salesmen games. Mind games for no useful purpose.

would you define 'screwing' in this context?
would paying the MSRP on a new car mean you got screwed?
If you went into your Honda dealer and offered the Fair Market Value...or MSRP, you'd have your deal in less than 10 minutes.
you might decide, however that you want to haggle..... you might spend 50 minutes doing this, and you may or may not actually purchase the car.
If you don't, the salesman's time was wasted, the dealers advertising money along with it. (it costs us about $350 per deal in advertising) did they not then get 'screwed?'
If you do get a discount, and make your purchase, then you spent that 50 minutes well.
look at the name. DEALer. they make you a DEAL. If you want no haggle, go could always buy a Saturn.....oh wait.....they went under....
