Buying a car outright from dealership - do/can you haggle?

I find it excruciating to haggle on things but wondered if I’d be foolish not to try ? Or is it not the done thing with modern dealerships?

I’m about to purchase a car - I’m happy with the car, age, spec and condition. I’m also happy enough that it’s a fairly priced car but is it expected that I’ll try to negotiate extras/some money off?

what’s your experience ?

@BeingATwatItsABingThingthis happened to me. Arnold Clark Seat.
the salesman was waxing lyrical to EXH about BHP, fuel economy, safety features. EXH to be fair told him I was buying/driving etc and he was merely there accompanying me. The salesman turned to me. Opened the back door and told me the car a
had 5 speakers, and plenty room for car seats and buggy (I wasn’t pregnant nor did/do I have children)
I didn’t even utter a word and just walked out, spent my money else where

I had similar. Asked a question about the engine size and features such a cruise control (nothing too mental) and he told me not to worry about those things and did I like the colour? 🤬
