actually i'd advise against that for people who can be pressured and feel uncomfortable negotiating. it's another distraction you need to keep focused on what's going on.

besides, $200 off is relative. it can be $200 off invoice or, most likely, off MSRP.

my lexus dealer boasted about what great deal he was giving me, until he drew on the paper how he's giving me $5k off, which was the Lexus cash rebate, and he calculated it $5k from MSRP+options which was no deal at all
