I'll be paying in cash (about �2500) so I'm hoping that will give me some leverage...

I always check the value of my car on Parkers, and go to the dealers knowing exactly how much I want for the car - and what is the absolute minimum I'd take. Remember they're always going to open uo with stupid px deals and finance agreements - but ultimately make sure you only buy the car if you're totally happy. If you're not happy about anything just walk away. Ultimately it's your money they want, so they should be falling over themselves to accommodate you - that's the way I see it anyway :)
