Not to be rude but I think this is a pointless question to ask.
When I purchased my 2 yr old 911s my only concern is what they will accept for the car, not what they have in the car, you'll never know the truth ( why would they tell you ?
)
Dealing in purchases with your hard earned...leave your morals at home.
Its a buisness, they're there to make money, with or without you.

Please remember there are buy fees and transportation added to this as well.
A typical used car dealer markups up about $2000, a higher end probably is closer to $5000. I was at a Lamborghini dealership and they said they markup at least $20,000

That's correct - last I recall auction fee is around $500 and transport can add up to another $500.

The longer the car sits on the lot, the better chance you'll have of getting a significant discount. Also, no matter how much you like the car, always convey an air of indifferance to the salesman. If he thinks that you just have to have the car, he'll more than likely be willing to play the waiting game with you, knowing that sooner or later you'll pay what he's asking.

It's all relative. The dealer is going to get what the market will bear regardless of what he has in it.
If you PM me the vin number I can try to pull it up and see if he is listing it on OVE (dealer only site) that will give me an idea what he has in it.
Your best bet is to always negotiate up form his cost rather than down form their asking price.
