and you basically cant negotiate any more, since that is what your supplier discount is....like most said it can work against you, unless you know what your so called supplier discount is.....which you wont...most places will just say here is your discount, follow me to the busniess office.

we just use fleet rebate and go with those....
I'm eligible for supplier and have a company code. Once I log in it re-directs me to a version of GM Buypower that shows a supplier price along with MSRP. So, I'll have an idea if the dealer is lying to me on the supplier price.
