I didn't imply you tell them! But if the hard negotiating starts, then you might bring out some cash. You have to really know what you are walking in to when you negotiate. How much did they pay, what the market is like ATT, is it a specialty car, etc.

I could see them offering 20 even! they are just aiming for that lowly joe off the street who wants a new car and doesn't research. Don't be that guy, and you can get what you want!
