Never talk to a sales man, always ask for the fleet manager. Sales men can't negotiate based on invoice. They are go-betweens from you to the sales manager. A fleet manager though, doesn't typically have the same restrictions as the sales manager because typically the fleet manager sells based on bulk whereas a sales manager deals with single vehicle sales. Fleet managers also handle financing, so you don't have to be passed on to a finance manager either.

Other then my truck, all my purchases have been through fleet managers and all have been under invoice before rebates.

My truck was bought through the general manager (friend of mine) at a VERY reduced price, $49.5k OTD with everything you see in my sig (minus the Line-x, had that done myself but discounted as the dealer made the appt.). Oh, and 0% for 60 months.

Take a look at carbuyingtips.com for all the tips and tricks to buying a new vehicle. I re-read that site every time I get ready to buy a vehicle.
