Not sure your equation is accurate. OTD would include taxes, tags, etc. which varies by state and/or county. I spent $12 and purchased the Consumer Reports new car buying guide for the Santa Fe. It gives the invoice and includes all available rebates & holdbacks. I started my negotiations nearly $2000 below invoice. The best $12 I ever spent.

dm126,
 
CR states in its advertisement of their March 2008 monthly issue and car buying guide that the consumer should start below the " factory invoice" not the "MSRP" and/or "dealer's invoice" to date no one on this blog has written differently and seems to be avoiding the CR statement as prices are posted here.
 
What was the cost of the invoice price CR gave you?

Actually, that's NOT what CR says. The actual ad says "Naturally, most people think it is wise to negotiate down from the MSRP to as close to the Dealer Invoice Price as you can get. And that's exactly what the dealer wants you to think - but it won't get you the best deal. The reason: Both the MSRP and the Dealer Invoice price are 'artificial' numbers created by the car manufacturer and dealer to serve their negotiating purposes.....If you know the real price, you'll have true negotiating power because you'll know how much 'wiggle' room you really have. YOU SHOULD BARGAIN UP FROM THIS REAL PRICE.
 
No one is going to buy a new car for BELOW true factory cost unless there are dealer incentives on a slow moving model. Somewhere below "dealer invoice" is more likely.

As long as you want to be precise... the only words in the hightlighted orange colored box in the main text of the March issue of the CR ad as stated below are with a period, not three periods at the end of this alert to the reader.

Um, those "three periods" are an ellipsis, defined as follows:
 
'The ellipsis in the form of three dots is used when text is omitted from the beginning, middle, or end of a quotation: Shakespeare wrote, "When sorrows come, they come...in battalions". '
 
Anyway, what does that have to do with what I was pointing out - which was that you can't start below true factory price?

Does this price reflect any rebates?

They're essentially selling the car to you for $60 under invoice. It's at best an "OK" deal but by no means a great one. Many here have bought for $500 - $1500 under invoice, LESS rebates.

I'm not as concerned about whether he got the absolute best deal on price.
 
My concern is that while I love the Slate Blue/Grey Leather combo, my understanding is that Grey Leather is only available on the 2007 Limited Santa Fes and not on the 2008s. Do you mean black? (Another easy way to tell if its a 2007 is if it does not have a 6-CD changer but only a single cd player)
