Thank you @max_g for being so patient and helpful! 
(I think I’ve said “thank you” in all my posts, haha - sorry! I just really am that thankful to learn!).
I received a quote on a NEW 2017 INFINITI Q50 2.0T PREMIUM RWD:
39 months/10K
MSRP: $42,135
Invoice: $ 39,687
Internet Price: $ 31,800
Savings: $ 10,335
$259 plus tax is $281.96
Quick question - in general, when you’re negotiating via e-mail, do you mention the MSDs? Are dealers less inclined to accept an offer like that via e-mail? I only ask because the e-mail communications have ceased with three different people after I mention the MSDs and not wanting a down payment.
Just wondering if I’m going about this the wrong way?
