Buying a 2012 Subaru Forester, and saving $2500 off of MSRP.
Choose the vehicle we wanted based on needs and value. The dealer was very good and the sales rep was helpful. The only minor issue we had with the dealer was the pushing of additional options on the vehicle like chip guard, upgraded floor mats, etc. They also tried to push extended warranty on us - even included it on the final invoice when we went to sign the docs (so we had them remove it - could have been an error on thier part which they said it was and I don't think it really was intentional). Car Cost report was essential in getting lowest price. The sales rep offered $1000 off MSRP and when I countered with a lower offer he wouldn't budge until I showed him the report then he went to his manager and they came back 2 mins later and took what I offered. Without the report I don't think they would have done that. It quickened the negotiations and having the report in hand cuts right to the chase.
