Bikes: A loaner for now

Ah I stopped by the LBS this morning before work. Took down a paddywagon for a test ride...absolutely loved. It's a 46/16 on freewheel mode and it felt perfect. The only thing that felt odd was the strapped pedals that went over my steel-toe work shoes and the drop bars are a first in my history of riding. Nonetheless, love it.

The guy said he'd let me have it for 650 but we'd talk more when I got the cash. Any bargaining tactics? What should I reasonably expect to pay?

Note - MSRP is 650

Edit

I've done some searching around on the boards and this is what it comes down to...

The Kona Paddy Wagon (test rode and loved it)
The Redline 925 (more affordable) or
The Bianchi San Jose (Heard lots of good things but the name "bianchi" will attract a lot of "undesirables" in my neighborhood)
