Seems to be in the $300-$500 range to retain one and at the upper end of that scale you essentially just say "here's what I want - go get the best price for me..."
Honestly, it seems that if you got the RIGHT one, that could work out extremely well. But how would you ever know just how good of a guy you got?

There is little to haggle nowadays. The prices you see online are within a couple hundred bucks of what you can buy the car for, and alot of the time, thats the price, period.
In my 15 years in the car business I have came across two of these guys. Neither one of them where nearly as good as they thought.
