I tell the dealer upfront that I will only discuss the bottom line, out-the-door price. I tell them how I calculated my offer, and they can sell me the car, or I will just buy it somewhere else.
best approach! i always forget the out the door price part, but correct. Also, 3 year old off lease cards, < 30K in miles the best "value", which means your desired make and model and the youngest car for a fixed and least amount of money you want to spend.
