I was just messing with you about the checkbook. I can look at a listing & see how the vehicle is ranked and determine if the car can be negotiated. With Internet pricing usually hundreds are available in discounts if any. However not thousands. That is pretty typical throughout the industry now. There is quite a bit of reasoning behind it & I am sure you know why?

Well, I don't sell cars. But I do negotiate hard. Sometimes, the salesman gets pissed, sometimes he/she agrees. I don't take it personally and hope they do the same. Every time I have walked out on a sale, I have found a lower mileage or better optioned car at the same or lower price than what I was offering.
I don't buy "collector" cars. If I did, there may not be any room for negotiation. But for mass produced cars, I do my research on dealers across the nation and then always negotiate hard.
Thanks for your insights from the other side of the table.
