I actually bought a Hyundai from a dealership 3 hours away and the salesman drove down to where I live (with his dad!) to deliver it. That was nice, but the main assurance is that I know who sold me the car and there will be no passing of the buck on warranty service or anything else. Amazon has no place in the transaction - even if they offered some or other thing, I don't trust them trying to weasel into the deal. I'd probably wind up with an expensive Armor All subscription I need to cancel.

Do you ever see the salesperson again after the sale? I just went straight to the service department.

  I hate dealerships in general - but - I've been lucky to have good sales people in the two car purchases I've made so far. The trick for me was to be very blunt and clear on what I'm trying to do. Usually I do the research about the car and what I want ahead of time. I've also researched what kinda pricing is normal. I'm also ready to sign the car if the price is right and I like it or walk out if I don't like. My sense is that salespeople are primed by people who haven't done any research on what they want and doing all that on the spot at the dealership. They're also not exactly sure what they want and are susceptible to be convinced one way or the other. Even when they like a car, most people tend to be not sure and want to try another car or dealership. Hence the usual deal with pricing it higher, offering free accessories, offering a discount and all that jazz.
