For some reason, these cars are selling like hot cakes and the dealership we went to, didn't even have this trimline, only the one below it.

So... I ask because I've been bent over before at the dealership when it comes to buying/leasing cars. They wouldn't budget on the price, however I did get them to throw in $600 worth of accessories (which probably cost them $8).

Any tips from "expert" car buyers? I like to think of myself as experienced considering I've owned some 12 cars in my 33 years in life, but each one of those, with the exception of one or two, was a jail house raping.

We haven't signed anything yet until we see the car with the color (made this mistake getting a Honda before), but anything else besides test driving it? Not trying to get anymore $$ or things, just want to make sure we don't leave and say "oh, fuck! why didn't we think to say/do..."
