There is to much out of pocket expense on you with airfair and hotels for the dealer to screw something up.
$500 is dealer profit, Dealer fee is what covers the people in back pushing papers. No way your getting MD Tag/Title lower. This is what it costs them to register your car with the state. In most states this number is illegal to mark up.
I say your deal is good, Maybe ask dealer doc fee to ~150-200 (which should break them even on the cost of the paperwork) but dont push them.
Personally my time is worth way more then $250-300 to fight over that amount. YMMV

Yeah, agreed that in context of $45,000, $300 isn't much to fight over. But I also consider dealer profit to be dealer profit. Divide it up any way you want to once the sale is made, but when I asked for 500 over, I really meant 500 over. I'm just sort of perturbed at the inclusion of the dealer processing fee when we'd already settled on the number over invoice I'd be paying (not to include mandatories like tag/title, dest, and sales tax). You know?
