In my opinion, yes, offer lower and see what happens. You have the control because you have the money. Others are getting deals recently from $4,250 below invoice (me) and another poster claims to have gotten $5,000 below invoice. My suggestions: Confirm that the destination charge is included in whatever is the agreed-upon price; confirm whether or not there is a document service fee added later (mine was $50); avoid any advertising fees; and once you agree on a deal don't let the finance person sell you undercoating, paint sealant, or fabric protection (scotch guard). Taxes, title and license fees will be extra. You have nothing to lose if you can maintain an emotional detachment in the negotiation and are prepared to walk away. Make an offer and let them come back to you with an acceptance or a counter offer even if they wait a day or two. There are lots of cars and dealers out there and multiple dealers will compete with each other for your business. Good luck and best wishes.

Been pricing the dealers around Cleveland, and situation looks like this:
3500 "dealer engagement" + 500 loyalty (must own a Mazda) + 800 secret spiff this month only = 4800 maximum below invoice discounts. I found they won't give up all the spiff, more like 0 - 600 of it, which is greedy since they used to sell at invoice and live on the holdback which they're still getting. The MSRP-to-invoice spread is 1500-1800 depending on trim, so in total 6K off sticker is realistic. BTW advert assessment around here is 209.

Went shopping for a CX-7 for my wife today. Not a lot of time, so was really only able to hit one dealership. Ended up quite disappointed. Sales associate and sales manager were nice, however, their first offer was sticker (MSRP) of $26,378. This was a 2008 CX-7 Touring with just mats, cargo net/mat, and bumper guard. This dealer has more 2009's in stock than 2008's. I felt really low-balled on my trade as well, but that was not my immediate concern.
 
I asked about the $3500 incentive. The manager stated that this money was an incentive for dealers to cover advertising and they were not allowed to give it to consumers. Hmm. He then said he may be able to give us a $1200 discount but that was the best that he could do. The rest of the conversation kept getting steered to payments (I stated multiple times we were not payment buyers, may not be financing, and had a great CU if we did).
 
Bottom line, very high pressure and awful pricing. We gently tried to excuse ourselves many times, but it took a while to get our keys back and get out.
 
For kicks, to test the trade value, we stopped at CarMax on the way home to get our trade appraised. Yes, I know Carmax is generally lower on trade-in values, but I wanted to get a comparison. I was shocked when CarMax offered $2500 more than the dealer did for my trade.
 
Who let's someone walk holding 5k on a 2008?
 
MSRP $26378
INV $24927
AVG Internet Price $21727
This Dealer: $25500 (Even as we walked out)
 
Trade-in:
KBB "good cond": $17000 (high of course)
CarMax "cash offer": $13500
This dealer: "$11000"
 
I want to support the local guys, but who can blame me for going internet with these prices?
