I used Auto-By-Tel, after doing my homework 
about invoice prices, etc. They have a deal
with dealerships to give you "special pricing."

The first "special pricing" the dealer offered
me through the service sucked, quite frankly. 
(It was offered by phone, though, which was good.)
When I ridiculed the price and readied myself
to move on, they became much more reasonable. 
Overall, I don't think you can do any better 
through ABT than through knowledgeable haggling,
but generally, they'll start haggling at a 
lower price than they would have otherwise. 

And oh, yes...I bought my Honda at Ourisman
in Bethesda. Overall, I got a very good 
deal and very little hassle, although they
do have a few incompetents working there
in customer service.
