There is a thread here about buying my Volt a couple of months ago. We went to see a blue car locally and it wasn't exactly how I wanted it appointed. They were asking $28,999 and that was out of the question. I offered $27000 and they declined.
I later found the car I wanted at the price I wanted to pay - $27,355 at another dealer. All done.
Except.
The local salesman sent me an email last week to let me know the blue car was still for sale. I just mentioned this to my wife and she was - "Let's go see it. I love your car." We walked in and she did all the talking. "We know all about the car, we had it for a weekend, all we need to know is the price." The guy says, "$28,000." She says, "$26,000." I was about to fall out of my chair. He had her sign the offer, took it to the manager, and came back, "Congratulations, you just bought yourself a Volt." The whole transaction took about 5 minutes.
After applying the tax credit it will cost us $18,500.
