If you reread what i said was, start going up from the actual cost, not going down from the list. I never paid actual cost but I have bought at dealer net minus ad costs and or delivery charges. The dealer making HOLDBACK is very common and not un-heard-of in many metro markets, smaller markets no...

If I were buying a notebook, or a shirt , or maybe inexpensive cookware i might not haggle as much, but on a $30K, or $40K, or $60K vehicle dam right I want the best price I can get. I worked hard for what I have and what my DADDY told me still holds true: "BETTER IN MY POCKET, NOT THEIRS"

if you reread what you wrote you already took away the holdback...just an observation, as i said if it works for you, great job....
