This. Negotiate "on the road"/"Out the Door" pricing only if dealing with a dealer. Then all of these extras are a known quantity.

Yep, dealers price their cars with room to negotiate. Sure they'll be happy if someone walks in and buys it at listed price. Of course this is a whale and they'll probably sell you other stuff such as warranty, aftermarket add-ons, etc.

Their absolute bottom line is always lower than list price. And yes, they're still making money.
