Okay so the results are in. D knows what she is doing! With very short notice, we found the car the wife wanted, and D met us there and got to brass tacks with them straight away. D it's very apparent you literally enjoy the process (I enjoy the negotiating, just not with a car salesman on the other end). We saved a crap ton off of MSRP, and got the exact price range we were hoping for! The employee discount system we have for that auto maker didn't even come down as low as what we ended up paying for the car. Can't thank you enough D - it was great fun and the wife is in love with her car already.
