The current supply shortages made the process less bothersome for me in some ways because I didn't really expect to have much luck haggling. Wasn't perfect. "In transit" meant it wasn't built yet and I was in a bit of a hurry. (Had car but car had problems.) Doc fee was high. A couple of 50% BS sets of "factory installed options." (Though got price tacked onto my pretty generous trade-in.) Some annoying attempts to upsell but "no" worked fine. Didn't need financing.

But overall, it was a couple of visits and a few hours and I got the vehicle (Honda) in six weeks.
