Yeah. I suspect the key is to bring your checkbook and make clear that you’re not interested in haggling.

I had researched it pretty exhaustively, but yeah — there are likely usually factors only known to the dealer — like their own financing cost of inventory.

I suspect that many negotiations fall through because customers don’t want to allow the dealer to make any profit, which is unreasonable.
