Buying a 2011 Toyota Corolla, and saving $2500 off of MSRP.
Watch out for the tactic where the salesperson quotes you a very low price for the new car and a very good price for the trade-in and then increases your actual cost price after coming back from the manager - saying the manager can't do this deal at the originally quoted price. This is not, of course, the time to cave in. You may have to pay some more than the original quoted price but don't pay more than you have planned. You can always walk out. Of course, you have to let the dealer also make a reasonable profit.
