I got my bro's SE-R 5 years ago for 3K under invoice, back then Edmund's TMV prices said it should be around invoice.
Last year my great bro Totaled his SE-R, and I got him a Brand new FX35 2009, just got off the boat, for what? Under invoice again. and what TMV saids ? about 2009 FX35 of that time? 500 above invoice.
There is nothing wrong with 350/370's price, its just that people these days are NOT looking for sports cars. They're looking for "Bang for buck" deals.
And of course you just gotta know what a dealership is thinking, how they want to screw you, basically you have to bait them, and Im not afraid to "low-balling" them. Hey its my money, my lost, their gain, and I dont like that.
Many people just afraid of doing that and what happen? they just getting ripped off.
if you believe in Edmund's "prices/TMV" then I guess you should really stop typing and start walking.
For the record, there is no "buy/financing" 1000 dollars bonus for RX-8. Its only for "LEASING." Please check your source first

In general I think you should be able to beat edmunds by about 1k or so... but again it depends on the car. If it's selling, you aint getting no deal.

Yea I had a 93 SER I got for about 2k under invoice and a Maxima after that for about 4k under so I know deals can be had depending on your timing who you know, and what car you are looking at. 7k off a 350 ( or 370 as they no longer list the standard sport on edmunds ) on a base model is about 6k under invoice which is outstanding. But I don't think this is the norm. Was the deal for any 350 on the lot or a particular one? Using a trade in?

It was very temping. But I dont need another Car (gf would kick my ***) and it doesnt make any sense to have like 4 cars under my name. so I was like nah, maybe some other time.
but your're right, it really depends on the correct timing. Some friend told me(used to work in dealerships, both domestic and foreign), and taught me some of the tactics.
and first thing he told me was, people who listened/look at sites like Edmunds/KBB are the ones that they love. go figure

not particular one, the guy just told me if I do it today (typical sales tone), I get to pick anyone off the stock minus 7K off, sign and drive it away. no BS. can do either Cash or Financing.

The quicker you can get to a car that hits the lot then the dealer has the least amount of money in it. Used to be you could check the inspection sticker but... no more stickers, at least not in my state.
