You may underestimate the value of a low friction sale on both sides of the table. My remote internet sales guys love me because I don't call them unless they have the vehicle in stock that I want and they only have to invest about an hour to get a sale. And this is literally just filling out the paperwork.

Believe me... more than most people you will run into, I know the value of a low friction sale. I also know that this is rare and something you are not likely to find. I am also of the opinion that the low friction sale isn't always the absolute lowest price. It may be, but if a guy is willing to grind the fillings out of a dealer's teeth, he can usually beat the low friction price. I'm the type that when I'm on the other end of the table, I'll pay more for the luxury of a smooth, fast and easy sale. I'll pay more for that level of service.
