You can not beat internet prices unless you golf with the dealer. I got mine in WA just over invoice, which helps a LOT with sales tax rape here.
When I bought my SRT-4, I got it in Germany from the PX dealer just over invoice as well, tax-free, and paid no use tax when I got my California plates. I forget what the time requirement is now, but you might be able to pull the same thing if you buy in Oregon and keep it registered out of state for 1-3 years.

It also depends on what state you live in and inventory, but yes some of these services like Costco and USAA are great, especially for people who don't know who, or don't want to, negotiate with dealers. That said, I had a better deal on my car negotiating directly with the dealer (I did walk out and went home once and the dealer called me the next day and we made the deal). I just don't get emotional about buying a car. Dealers can smell that from a mile away and break you down.
