anyone getting MSRP (or below)

I simply can't see this working, at least not with those figures. 2% holdback on a base/sport model is $640 (give or take). Unless that car has been sitting on their lot for 6 months and they believe they have no hope of getting rid of it any time soon (the interest is losing them money at this point), I can't see them saying "Sure, we'll let the car go for what we paid for it (or even less) and eat what we've paid in interest so far. We'll call it a learning experience" this isn't last year's Corolla that they need to dump because the new models have been on the lot for 3 months, this is a higher-end vehicle that is still in its current year (though fast approaching the end of it).

I certainly agree with the concept of what you are preaching, and if I was trying to buy that Corolla and knew what kind of leverage I had, I'd do it, but I don't think many would find themselves in a position to have that kind of leverage on a Z for at least another few months. I can imagine a dealer agreeing to $100-$200 below invoice if he is having a bad couple of months, but not below his holdback.

EDIT: I should add... I didn't mean to make anyone believe I had a problem with paying invoice... that's my target number, and I'm happy if I hit it. I'd only expect less than invoice in the case of the Corolla I mentioned. Would I take a deal at less than invoice if the dealer didn't bat an eye when it was offered? Sure, but I'm not going to brow beat the guy trying to get less than that.
