I agree about having a firm price in mind before even entering a dealership showroom. Yet a few times I have done even better than the firm price I had in mind so I normally offer less. There can be both publicized and unpublicized factory incentives, hold backs, a dealer needing to meet a sales quota, a sales person needing to sell one more unit to win l a trip to Hawaii, any number of factors.
