Excellent point. These posts great and I thank the members who've shared their deals with us, but many are missing key informration. What I think would be great is a simple format members who actually closed deals that include:

MSRP
- Discount/incentive #1 with description
- Discount/incentive #2 with description
....
- Discount/incentive #n with description
= Net price before taxes, delivery, license, fees, etc.

That way we can see the total discount off MSRP of the car itself while the comparison is still apples vs apples before its gets complicated with financiing, lease, and or trade ins.

Thoughts?
