Hmmm. This is my rationale behind the offer. Based on the car I want, my cap cost reduction ($1000), and taxes, the pmt was estimated at $420/month, based on the car's retail price. Per the sales manager, every $1000, reduces the pmt by $30. Research shows that people were paying about $2000 under retail on the 3 series which still provides a bit of profit on the car. Assuming the dealership is willing to go less than retail (which in S. Florida is likely) I can get the car for $360/mo or somewhere close.
