So they think if they get invoice that they got a great deal and got the dealer to come down as much as possible.. But, the dealer can still sell the car for invoice and make over $1k not including financing and other items.

I was really hoping the invoice margin was going to be bigger because I have that price pre-negotiated.. I could get the FR-S with the college grad $1k rebate as well, but I like the BRZ much more.
what was the pre-negotiated price?
