OK, you're golden. Everybody wants paper (loans) like that.
Just remember the F&I guy.
He is there to wring out that last bit of cash.
Remain cool and if there are too many extra doc fees or shop fees or prep fees or any other nonsense, say these words:
"Look, I came here b/c 'blank' beat the price and and I said I would buy today, and I am. If you keep up with this ticky-tacky BS, I'll head over to Dealer A."
And mean it.

Thanks for all the advice Vette I drove home in my new truck tonight. All done I paid $30,990+ tax, title, license. It was crazy though. Everytime I'd cancel the appt with one sales guy saying I'd decided to go with the other dealership, they'd beat the price by $500 then $250 and finally $100. It was back and forth. I ultimately decided to go with the dealership closest to me, which is also the more upscale dealership(brand new facilities, coffee bar, etc). They threw in a spray in bedliner and offered $500 more on my trade than it was really worth to help me make my decision.
They didn't try to tack on any fees. I got a preapproval from USAA at 1.9% but salesman told me to go Ford credit for the $500 rebate and refinance as soon as I felt like it. He said there will be a chargeback but that it is charged to dealer not the customer so the dealership would have to pony up part of that $500 if I refinance before rebate goes through. He told me not to tell the finance guy that
Finance guy pushed extended warranty, but I passed. I know I can buy later on and at a better price online. He also advised me to refinance, but after the 3rd payment.
Overall it was a very pleasant experience. It's a no pressure dealership and everyone was really nice. No sleazy tactics, hidden fees, or tricks.
