Here is 4lsu2's vehicle buying protocol: All you have to do is pick one out and simply tell them you are going to buy one today and ask if they are in the selling mood today. Tell them you aren't interested in any other bullshite but bottom line pricing. When they ask about a trade, tell them you are keeping your existing vehicle to pull that POS Ford back to them when it breaks down. This gets them to their selling price. Once they give you this price, tell them thank you and it appears they aren't in the selling mode today. Next, call another dealership after looking at their website and tell them the same thing about a particular unit on their lot. Give them the stock number and say you are about to buy one at such and such dealership and wanted to see if they cared about making a sell. Get their lowest price and compare it with the first offer. This is where it gets to be a hoot!!! Once you get the second price, tell both of them to piss up a rope. This eliminates the conversation of a trade in. When you get to the point of buying, go back and say you're ready and that particular price but decided to trade in. Now you're at your price on the new vehicle and have the trade as bargaining power. They will attempt to low ball the trade and make their money back from the new one. Walk away when they insult you on the trade and tell them the other dealership is offering you more money. I've made many a enemy doing this over the last month. Several salesmen have been told to eat a bag of dicks, piss up a rope, no way I'd buy here if this was the last place on earth, etc. In the end, I saved several thousand dollars both ways (new and trade in) and couldn't be happier. They are all wanting to screw you to tears to make their commission, but you are the gorilla with a chainsaw for a cock in this situation.
Here you go. Search OB for F150 the thread he posted it on will come up.

Meh.. that's one way to do it. Or you could just say you want to see the invoice on the vehicle you want. The dealership will show you. Take that number and multiply it by .05. Subtract that from the invoice and tell them you want that price, and you want fair trade in for your vehicle... or *gasp* you find some schmuck to give you 3 grand more than trade in, do an in and out, and keep the tax credit.
