Now you are in position to ask for out the door pricing over the internet so as to compare one dealer Vs. another. If you have negotiated the out the door price with an unseen trade in you are going to have a tough time getting KBB or better when you bring them the trade in. Make sure to ask what they consider out the door pricing. I did this last year on a 2020 Camry. I can ball park for you what I found. About $3K under sticker without a trade. Now add tax, title, and documentation. After the dust settled I was able to push three dealers to within a couple hundred dollars of each other. I can't speak for what is happening now with the chip shortage. Remember when dealers were marking up over sticker for fuel efficient cars when gas was being rationed to even and odd days ? As I stated on an earlier post I would try a third party like AAA, Costco, Etc. Dealers know these third parties know the routine better than you - a person buying a car once every few years. I invested way to much effort and had great frustration playing "their" game.
