Good luck Matt!
I guess what he might be asking is where does he find that dealer and how does he know it's the best price? From what I've read here, Costco might be reliable enough to give the best deal.

The are so many factors that come into play buying a car that price is not all that important unless you are writing a check. At a dealer, that puts you at a disadvantage.

As a one time car sales person, I can say that unit count is one thing and margin is another. My manager would play along with anyone to a certain point before shutting down and saying that's the final offer. He knew all the tricks customers thought they knew.

If someone wanted to buy a car for cash at invoice, he'd just look intently at the door to the fleet sales office. If they didn't get it, no problem. Meanwhile, his bonuses weren't suffering.

19 YO'ds should not be selling cars and trucks unless they are really sharp and have a lot of maturity.
