Their site says "fixed price" (as all car dealerships would like to be) but I wondering if anyone knows if they're negotiable?

thanks

      So offer $9 and see what happens. Given they list cars at auction and others fixed price I would say you are dreaming.

      Maybe you can also ask if they have fixed price on their auction cars?

      Also generally fixed price cars are newer cars with mileage under 100K as they "know" the retail value, where as 1998 250K km cars they have no clue, so they auction them off

  I don't think it is an unreasonable question.
  My partner recently looked at a car at Grays fixed price. She was ready to buy with cash, and asked what they could do to improve the deal, and they said nothing.
  She offered $500 below the sticker price and they declined.
  She bought elsewhere.

  I am actually in favour of no haggling car sales. The costly dealer system needlessly adds way too much overhead to buying and selling. And it leads to situations where people with equally good money pay different prices for identical cars because the competition isn't transparent.

  You could try a car broker if you're trying to get as good a price as possible. If they give you a price and you can find it cheaper elsewhere you wont have to use them. Eg Red Plum
