Some car dealers post the price on the window. Others expect you to haggle. Florida seems to be one of these places where haggling is expected. (Don't believe you can haggle better than the dealer. They are pros at it and you are an amateur.) I believe the best way to get a fair price without the hassle of haggling is to do everything on the internet. Do the reviews and all that business first. Know the car you want. You might even go to the lot and do a test drive. But DON'T take their IF I CAN, WILL YOU... deal. Don't believe them when they tell you, you can only get this great price if you buy before you leave.
Then go home and call one or two dealers. Tell them what you want and ask them the price. They won't want to name a price, but if you tell them you are talking to another dealer and want the price before you come in, they willl name their best fair price. Then go in and don't leave paying more than the internet price you got on the phone.
