Well of course. So dont go to the dealership.
BUT DO reach out and identify a SPECIFIC TYPE OF SALESPERSON. You do not want a front line sales puke...why?
Because he is more than willing to burn everyone he talks to with MSRP...he will do that 50 times a week, 200 times a month- and if he gets a few to close, he has a good month.
As mentioned above, you want a salesperson that is willing to make his money in smaller bites.
I would reach out via phone and TALK to the salesman once you've established he is willing to be sensible. By telegraphing that you know the market, the price, and know precisely what you will pay, he will either cut bait, or agree to proceed.
Ive negotiated all my car purchases in the last 15 or so years over the phone.
