Of course it all depends on the area, and the dealership, as this country is so diverse in the pricing of cars, and each dealership is different even if within 50 miles of each other. The only thing you can really do is not let the excitement of buying the car get to you, and make a respectable offer, with the intention to walk if it's not to your liking.

I had this problem in 06, although the prices for this car were not as cheap as they are now, because the demand and market value was higher on the S2K.

I negotiated with three dealerships, two nearby, and one far away. The one dealership near me literally let me walk and didn't care, after their rock bottom offer of 500 over invoice. The second offered invoice, and let me walk. I negotoiated online at the third, and it was $500 below invoice, but it 2 hours away. A week later, I took the middle dealership and got it for invoice, because I didn't want to drive 4 hours total, and I wanted to buy my car closer to home, and not out of state.

In reality, it all depends on the dealership, the area, and can even be the mood they are on that particular day. So many variables, but if as a buyer you are patient enough, just make an offer and wait it out, and things can go your way.

It might be tough to get $1500 below invoice with the APR offers. I know in this area where I live, they'd laugh at me if I even tried it on an 08. Good luck!!!
