First of all sorry if I go through very obvious issues here and thanks to those who are willing to take the time and give me the advice. I'm planning to purchase a 2006 H2 pretty soon as they come out later this year and ship it to Finland. I have lived in states for 2 years but never really dealt with auto dealers. I'd like to get some advice on how I get most off the price naturally, but also how to I deal with the dealer once in the bidding. I did talk to Ken a while ago and he said that if the total MSRP is around $57k I should be able to negotiate the price down to about $50k. Can you provide little experience based info is this valid around the country? I have listed below the set up that I would be looking at...

I'm planning the buy the truck near Indiana and then take it to Lingenfelter for little spice up

btw, does anybody know how much dealers are asking for the performance exhaust upgrade these days?

Thanks for your time!
