DON't tell them you are paying cash til you have to; they make more from financing...start at about 12% off and tell them you have no trade and hold your figure and walk if it gets above 10% off and they won't close...

Welcome to CL, smitty76. First step is to figure out what you want in the 450h. Go to Edmunds.com to come up with a price including all options. Then e-mail a few dealers with what you're looking for. You can let them come back to you with a number or tell them what you'll pay. Then take it from there. BTW, if the numbers are close, ask them to throw in a few accessories to close the gap. Good luck.

I looked at Edmunds and TRUECAR http://www.truecar.com

Cash does not seem to matter these days.

Make offers and start negotiations toward the end of the month to get the best deals.
