There is another thread on Dealer Invoice below that is getting long.
Think of it this way, the dealer is or has financial experts trained to know how to juggle numbers and create instant but false relationships. They do this many times a day, everyday. That is who the average consumer is negotiating with. The average consumer only gets to do this once every few years at best. Who do you think will win that game in almost all cases? If you think you won, oh well. I have some swamp land that needs a new owner.
You have better odds sleeping with a rattle snake than ever beating a dealer unless you really do your homework and do not get caught up in the drama and ego of having to have a certain unit. They have many ways to "prove" to you that by golly you beat them up so bad they did not "make a dime".
Think of it as a magician's hat trick where they place an item under one of three hats, and then move those hats around while entertaining you, bragging on you or your family, serving you food like BBQ, hot dogs, and creating fake drama about anything that will divert your attention from the real price. Good luck on knowing which hat to lift. LOL
