I think she's over simplifying the buying process in England, but she nails home the buying process here in the US.

Hazel doesn’t know what she is talking about, so she fits right in at “The Drive”. For example, the Honda dealership in Tunbridge Wells, Kent, is very similar to the one in Carlsbad, California, with respect to layout, building design, sales people, and buying process. In neither case can a customer buy a car direct from the factory and in both cases negotiation is expected. Also, in both cases, one can buy a car online without setting a foot in the physical dealership.

If you are willing to be a complete a-hole and are willing to buy off their lot then you can drive a really hard bargain with them.
