Too Many
As I stated in the other thread...deals can be had. You need to put the time and effort to make it happen. I saw everything from $0 off to 7%+ off. Depends who you talk too, model, options, relationship with dealer, negotiation ability (biggest one), inventory, day of the month, location, cash in hand, don't waste time with floor guys talk with manager, don't waste time at chains (Autonation, Sonic, etc---if you see either own the dealership run), did I mention ability to negotiate? IF you just call out of the blue and ask for price chances are you will get list.
There is also a convenience factor for me. How much crap am I willing to put up with for the service. I don't know where you are located in Texas, but in Dallas Park Place will kiss your booty, but don't expect more than a few grand off (same with chains mentioned before).
You just missed a great day to buy--Memorial Day. Dealers are open and giving stuff away. You probably should wait until last day of this month which is end of quarter. Inventory should be higher and they will be willing to unload one...now you have to find the deal.
Also if you are a USAA member, there is another $1K off...just FYI.
Good luck!
