I'm also a big fan of "haggling"

I've purchased a number of vehicles for friends and family, often walking away with a final sales cost of several thousand dollars less than they were able to get.

My most recent triumph - I just bought an Audi TT Quattro. When we finally got to the "lowest" price the salesman could possibly go, I asked if it was customary to tip the sales guy (Porche dealership) He said that it happened quite often - and I made him a deal. Whatever price I got below the "lowest" price he could get, I'd tip him, in cash, 50% of what he'd saved me.

Low and behold, I got another $1750 off the car - saving me another $875 smackaroos.
