I have negotiated for our cars and on behalf of family members. I always do better than the AAA or Costco and never pay bogus administrative fees. Let the internet sales departments of dealerships within a day’s drive negotiate against one another. Do a keyword search for your area or state on Edmund’s prices paid forums to find lowest priced dealerships in your area ( or even in adjacent states) and then either ask your local place to match or buy elsewhere and get service locally ( which is never the big deal they try to make you think it is). But we’ve never had a local place refuse to match a legitimate email offer.

An old thread, but lots of good information:
