My point wasn't regarding whether most people were informed or not. My point was that it's not bad to shop around for the best deal, especially since a salespersons main goal is trying to get the most money from you. When he commented that this was mooching, that caught my attention. I don't think a salesman would feel bad for me if I signed at MSRP, so I will not feel bad for him if I haggle the price down to invoice and he makes $200 or whatever Mloyalty said, or leave to buy somewhere else.

I think a lot of folks on forums like these are inclined to try to squeeze blood out of a turnip and are willing to grind down good sales people (as opposed to idiotic sales people) for every nickel they can and then, if they find a much less competent sales person who will cut the price by another nickel, dump the good guy to save that extra nickel on their $50,000 car.
