Although it really wasn't a website, there was a plug-in called "My Live  Offer," by Auto Bid Systems.  Honestly, it was one of the dumbest  things I have ever seen.  You put a big green button with "Bid Now" or  something like that next to your inventory, which would take you to a  computerized "offer/counteroffer" mechanism.  If I remember correctly,  like eBay, you'd put your MSRP and bottom-price algorithm into the  system, and the software would counteroffer your offer until you reached  the basement, then you could "lock-in" that price with a credit card  then contact the dealer to go pick-up your vehicle.  Talk about colossal  failure.  I can't imagine they are still in business, at least with  that product.
