Invoice: $32,348

In my area, the $1000 rebate is not active, so I couldn't use it, but being within ~$250 of invoice, I bit.

Crown did a good job. It was a fair amount of work but they were honest with the invoice price when they realized I knew what the invoice pricing was (their initial offer was ~$3000 over invoice...whatever). As part of the agreement, they agreed NOT to charge me their ~$500 documentation fee. They told me that the fee was how they made money and I told them that's not true and they made the holdback. Eventually they dropped the dealer fee altogether. So, final price was $32,591 + TTT.
