I wish that was the case. The dealership experience seems designed to maximize the pressure and extract as much value from customers as possible.
My first Toyota dealer experience was offering to buy a car at advertised price, and them refusing/countering with a lease. We just walked out.
Based on that, I waited until Toyota offered pretty good unadvertised discounts and called up a bunch of dealers with an offer/car in mind. I got the car my wife and I wanted for $1k more than my offer, which was I think $9k less than MSRP, and the experience was way better. We only had to sit through the finance departments upsells.
The third sale was paying MSRP at a Lexus dealer and we still were there for almost 5 hours.
