I understand you viewpoint, I really do as my parents own a boat dealership. However, while 3-5% isn't a bad deal, why settle for that if you are able to get an even better deal. It only took 30-45 minutes of negotiation to get my Titan at cost. On top of that my dealer let me drive the vehicle for a whole week before we were able to finish all of the paperwork. While I consider my dealer a serious exception to the rule, if someone can negotiate more than 3-5% off of MSRP then by all means do it. The worst thing the dealer can tell you is no. May as well try though.
BTW, my dealer was willing to sell me the vehicle so cheap because I told him I was an active member on some truck boards...especially Titantalk and he valued this exposure. Also, he wanted to get some Titans on the road to help him advertise and promote his dealership. I can wholeheartedly recommend them as they have been absolutely wonderful through the whole thing. They even went as far to order me the elusive change tray at no cost to me.
Feel free to PM if you want the name of the dealer...they are in the D/FW area of Texas...actually closer to FW and the mid-cities area.
