Just be aware that at least in Illinois, dealers are specifically authorized by statute to charge an administrative processing fee on top of your negotiated price. its been this way for at least 25 years. signs are posted in the finance office and notices included on all purchase orders. The amount is now @$155 and goes up every year based on inflation. Since this is a state given “bene”, there is absolutely no negotiation on this fee - be it a chevy or lexus dealer.
