Fixed Price, Haggle Free Car Prices

Don't you HATE negotiating for the best possible car price?
I recently did some price shopping for a new F-150 Pickup using TrueCar, a car shopping website that shows you what typical buyers are paying for the same car and it showed me that there was a range of over $9000 in prices on some models. This means that some buyers paid over $9000 more for the exact same F-150 as other buyers who weren't aggressive negotiators.
Buying a car shouldn't be a test of your negotiating skills. The fact that one buyer can pay that much more for the same car, simply because they didn't know they could get a better deal is completely unfair.
The same is true for a lot of other products, like appliances, but it's particularly bad for car buyers because the prices are much higher and people buy cars a lot more often than they do appliances.
For a while, GM experimented with the idea of fixed price, haggle free pricing with their Saturn division, and it was a big success. Unfortunately, GM never brought haggle free pricing to any other car division, and now that Saturn has been discontinued, chances are we won't see it again. That's too bad.
