Well, yes, but you CAN buy on the Internet, from an intelligent dealer like Mike, provided that the deal is not complicated by a trade-in.
The bad old days are gone. Anybody can find out the correct price with a bit of homework.
But surprisingly, many people still do not! As Mike points out, margins IMPROVED for Saab dealers with the GM employee price promotion, because every buyer was put on a no-haggle basis. Cars were sold during the promo at slightly higher prices and at much better margins during the promo than during the inventory-rich summer of '04. But a lot more cars were traded, indicating that there are a lot of buyers who do not have time to do their homework and prefer a no-haggle environment.
Too bad the Saturn is such a POS. The Costco way really is a better way to sell a car.
