I’ve always (meaning since my first car in 1990) bought new cars through car brokers. You hire someone who knows the industry intimately to go deal with the dealers for you.

We bought a van recently. It arrived with no weird extras, at a price that seemed fair, and we never even talked to a dealer (I researched models online). She charged us about $400 for the broker service and we picked up the van at her office.

It seems like it’s just the dealer financing that forces you into this murky slimy world of dealer sales departments.
