Wait, it's easy to get them for UNDER invoice??? And you're telling me the discounts aren't that big??? ... Getting a strongly selling luxury car that holds its value well for under invoice is a pretty damn good deal.
But in that thread from October where people were talking about good prices for '09s, it seemed like a lot of people were having trouble getting them for more than a couple thousand under MSRP, let alone under invoice.

Before I got my IS350 this past week I was in the market for an 07 or 08 G35 sedan. One dealer had an 07 with 10,000 miles for $25,488. I offered them $23,500 and they wouldn't take it.
Go figure.

I know my bottom line, but why should I give money away if my bottom line is richer than it needs to be to make the deal happen?? The dealer isn't in the biz to give cars away for no profit, and I'm not here to overpay the dealer more profit than they should expect to receive.
I just don't see that logic to walking into the dealership with the mindset that I'm going to drop $30,000 as soon as the dealer hits that number.

Because if you don't know in advance that your own bottom line price is already the lowest the dealer could accept, what makes you think the mystery will be revealed on his turf? I really think people who do that are just haggling with themselves, to satisfy an insecurity about being taken for a fool. You prevent that with advance preparation, then the negotiation process becomes quite frankly, enjoyable.
