Yeah... the no-dealership approach is going to ultimately win people over the same way e-commerce did to B&M retails. Once you get used to it, there's no going back.
No need to haggle or anything... just transparent and simple. That's all it needs to be. With traditional car dealership, depending on how good of a negotiator one is, the price of the very same car varies (assuming everything else stay equal). There's no need for that. Only reason that exists is to maximize dealer's profit, so dealer can get the most out of a person's willingness to pay for a particular vehicle.
