Buying a 2008 Honda Civic Sdn, and saving $1000 off of MSRP.
After test driving the car, and deciding to buy it, I emailed the salesman a detailed offer with everything itemized (taxes, fuel conservation rebate etc). I included wholesale +$600. In the offer, I gave him a chance to accept (otherwise I would email to other dealers). After a few phone conversations, we settled on the price (wholesale +700). I went in, and it was just simple paper work. It was handy to have the very detailed offer in my hand, to make sure thier invoice was correct - there was a $200 charge for something I didn't ask for - I could spot the discrepency right away.
