Just curious.

I personally worked from the invoice price DOWN for my deals. That makes it easier for me to compare prices with various dealerships (both locally and out-of-state). I then took the best offered discount from invoice price (and my knowledge of what people were "realistically" getting for my model/configuration car, and then started my negotiations from all the dealerships from there. It's a long and somewhat tiring process... but it works for me!
