So we were shopping for a car for DD (just turned 16). Found an 07 Camry Hybrid w/139k miles last week at a "big name" dealer. At that point, it was listed as $8391. Over the weekend, they dropped the price to $7931. Last night, took DS & DD for a test drive. Everyone's happy, let's negotiate. Their first offer was $9000 "out the door". I countered with $6500. They came down to $8000, we came up to $7500. Still too far apart, so we left. The dealer texted me this morning asking if we've thought any more about it, I offered $7750 total and they accepted! So before taxes & fees, it's about $6750.
I'm sure there are people here who will say we still spent too much, but I generally suck at negotiating, and feel if I get the out the door price for less than what they were listing at, I did pretty good.
