I digress), good luck! " -

#1 Negotiate price just as if you were going to buy it with cash
#2 DO NOT mention a trade-in until you have negotiated price
#3 Know the manufacture lease incentives, prior to visiting dealer (research at kbb.com or Nada etc
#4 See #1
#5 See #2
#6 Don't walk in and say "hey I wanna invoice deal on a lease" That's what Internet managers are for

Hope this helps a little RB

Cheers
So, is it better to phone/e-mail an internet manager and work something out, or to try my luck with the wolves? I think I may have already answered my question.

Besides, I found the car I'm looking for, there is exactly 1 in Houston...
