I'd agree.
The last three cars I bought (Miata included) I went to Edmunds.com online
to get the invoice and rebate prices, went to Autobytel.com and negotiated
what I wanted and at what price...typically got them at $500-750 over or
right at invoice (depending on rebates). I then had them either have it from
inventory or order it in and pick it up when ready to go...

Subject: RE: Good, FAIR, Pontiac dealer in Northern California?
I suggest using the internet to get quotes from all dealers in the area.
Go on all the websites and fill out the instant quote form and then play
them off of each other. Internet/fleet managers usually have less time
to waste figuring if you're that 1 sucker in 8 who will buy a car at
MSRP (or that GX-P at 5k over in this case). My experience with
internet/fleet departments when I bought the Honda was much more
straightforward than any experience I ever had with a sales department.
That said, when a brand new car with a lot of buzz surrounding it comes
out, there may actually be an availability issue depending on the
initial supply. There's no guarantee you can get a car in the first
month at a good price, but I find that internet gets you closer to the
true market value quicker and with less hassle.
