Question wiggle room on the employee pricing??

Im lookin at getting a new Trailblazer. Found one that I like and I wanna get it cause its at a decent price with this employee pricing deal they have going on. Ive talked to a salesman who's sold my pops a bunch of trucks in the past. He's tryin to tell me that there's no wiggle room in the price cause its as low as he can go due to the employee pricing. I've never bought a new car on my own before but I know there's gotta be some room to play with the price. I find it hard to believe that they are selling things with that small of a profit margin that they can't play with the price anymore. Im not lookin for a lot off...just a few hundred more. They've gotta be able to take off the part of the $600 in advertising fees or destination charge....something...anything. Anyone work for a GM dealership or know somebody? Id like to go back in there tomorrow on my half day from work and sit at his desk untill he gives me a couple hundred bucks off if I know for sure that they can play with the employee pricing.

I work part time for a GM (Buick) dealership. There is no more wiggle room, and the salesman is making dirt on these ones since they already include every other current incentive (read the fine print, they're all in there).

There are some great deals on GM cars with this program. Stop trying to whittle away and compare the final drive off with what it would be without the program. Some cars on our lot are almost $7K cheaper.

Gm employee pricing is lower than what the dealer pays for the vehicle from GM.
There is no "wiggle room"..that price is what you pay.
Its a hell of a great deal for a new vehicle.
And on a side note, sales people make a "flat" on this pricing...so they pocket about 90-100 bucks on the deal.
