    These are tips I've heard before, might not be relavent in the US:

    Be ambiguous about finance, they might drop the price more if they think you're taking finance, then change your mind at the last minute.

    Act like you've got a car to trade-in, they're supposed to give you a better deal for that too.

    Dealers have monthly targets, if you buy just before the end of a slow month they're likely to give a bigger discount.

    Wait 6 months and buy a used model. Only chumps buy retail.
