Does the dealer get some money back from the $1000 private offer? Also is it best to tell them about it at the end of the negotiation?
Thanks!

The dealer gets reimbursed the $1000 they take off the bottom line of the deal (it's a rebate, not a discount so it's applied after taxes) when they enter the codes in their system.

Since it doesn't effect their profit I'd say get their best deal then tell them you have the offer. It's not like Supplier where you need to tell them right off the top because it's a fixed price.

Exactly. If the PO can be used and is completely applicable to the deal, they should have no problem accepting them.

EDIT: I didn't tell my dealer until right before I handed them a check. Not used in negotiation or they will try to act like you're getting a better deal while using it.
