I got my 97 accord se with leather moonroof auto windows doorlocks etc...I got the dealer from $10k to $7900. Know the bluebook, and see what the market is like for the car you want. Don't play the dealers game, make them play yours. Now is a good time to buy because statistically cars are staying on lots longer than normal, so they will more likely go down farthur to make a sale. And if you need a cosigner, come up with a price a few hundred below bluebook, at least, and stick to it. If they ask what about $x (assume x is $500 above your price), tell them you don't think your cosigner will do it. Just stick with your price and don't budge. And don't tell them you are going to school

If you would like a few more pointers lemme know, I got several more
