My friend was able to buy a Toyota Sienna last year about $4,000(US) below MSRP. He did it by negotiating the price with about eight different dealers via E-MAIL. He sent e-mails to the Toyota dealers that were within a 100-mile radius of his house. He told them exactly what options he wanted on his Sienna, that he was sending the e-mail to the other dealers in the region and asked them for their best price. About 2-3rds of the dealers responded with a quote. From there he started the negotiations with a counter offer to the dealers that responded with a quote. (The other dealers only asked for his phone number and-or asked him to visit the dealership in person for a quote, which he refused to do.)
As part of the negotiations (through e-mail), my friend insisted the all the details (including the final 'out-the-door' price) needed to be nailed down before he went to the dealership to sign the papers and purchase the minivan.
The negotiations through this e-mail process took him about six weeks to complete from the time he sent out his initial request for quotes to the Toyota dealers to the day he went to the dealer he selected to purchase the minivan.
