In the town in which I live, there are two Toyota dealers. A number

The salesman I dealt with was fine, but when I asked him to give me
his best price, he said he couldn't, and had to get his manager.

These days there are several places on the Internet where you can find
the approximate price you should pay at a dealership. I've found it very
handy info for negotiating (haggling) a car's price. On one occasion
when they wouldn't take my (found on the Internet) price offer I walked.
They called back the next day an took my offer. I realize that a dealer
has to make a profit to stay in business but I like to cut that down as
much as possible...



Yes, I do that all the time. I didn't mention it in the message quoted
above because it wasn't really pertinent to the story I was telling.
