Dj - if I were you I would do everything over email. You know what car you want with what features at what price point. Email a few dealers. Tell them you are price shopping the local dealers and to give you their offer in a written email. Then pick the one that is the lowest and go there just for the paperwork. Don't waste your time at the dealer until you absolutely need to be there.

Yeah - no idea why anyone goes into a dealer anymore to actually negotiate. Unless you're a sadist and/or truly enjoy the haggling experience.

Only times i go in are to test drive the car and sign paperwork once I've negotiated via e-mail.

Agreed, but I had to test drive 5 trucks to make sure I was buying the right one.

Funny enough the nicest salesman out of them all I had to completely shut down. The seats were Terri-bad.
