Bob,

There is no set amount off of MSRP, like autos it depends upon demand
for that model in your area and the time of the year. I can remember
when a Honda Accord was selling for $1500 higher than MSRP.

The way I did it was to find 3 similar models from different mfg'ers, I
negotiated the best price on all all 3, than I used the lowest price as
an negotiating tool for my preferred model. If the dealer is selling
all he can get a X price, don't expect him to want to sell to you at X -
X%.

But as a general rule, I have found you have to be able to walk away
from the deal, if you really want to get a "fair" deal. It is amazing
how they will negotiate after you walked away, saying you had to look
at brand X again.
