Answer 1

E-mail an offer to the Manager of the delearship...then you'll find out if you leave any money on the table.

Answer 2

Many online ads are priced very competitively due to the fierce competition on the net.  Call the dealer and see what they'll do.

idk

Answer 4

If its a used car the amount of "room" in the price depends on what the dealer paid for the car. Like Jay said online prices are usually pretty low since dealers have to be competitively priced, so dont expect a huge dollar amount off of the car especially if you have a trade in. Most people think thier trade is worth alot more than it actually is, for example your trade may be worth $10,000, you think its worth $11,500. The dealer may "give" you $11,500 for the car but that extra $1,500 actually comes out of the price for the car your getting. So for example if a dealer has $2,000 mark up on thier online price and they take $500 off that and give you $500 extra for your trade, they are down to $1,000 which may seem like alot. But when you factor in that they have to pay the salesman (say$100) and cover thier overhead per car (say $450) and clean the car and get it ready for delivery (say $150) that only leaves them only a couple hundred left. So dont expect a ton of money off the internet price.

Trust me, I'm the internet manager at a Ford dealer, and we dont have a ton of room in the internet prices.
