For all of you who travel long distances to buy a car (whether dealership, eBay, or private), doesn't that automatically give the seller the upper hand during negotiations? I mean... what are the chances of you walking away after flying there or driving across the country?

The internet sales companies sell 98% of their stuff online. The "lots" are really just big parking lots jam packed with cars. If they used bait and switch tactics, word would get out quickly and they'd have to shut down. I have always settled on a price before hand and told them I'd bring cash and if everything wasn't to my liking, I'd either reduce my offer or leave. Online sellers are very straightforward and take lots of pictures. They'll take plenty more if you ask because that's how they sell cars. They put up a low price, and let the car sell itself, only to make a small profit off of each car.
If you buy a car online and it is a POS when it gets to you on the truck, don't take it. Simple as that.
Drove to San Antonio once. Flew Spirit to Houston and they picked me up once. Agreed on price before each time and brought cash each time. Everything was exactly as pictured and like they said. No bullshite and no stupid arse salesmen to go back and forth with for three hours
