Sorry, I read "NY" and did not assume "NYC." Should have noted the Long Island in your original post. We drove about 90 minutes from Rochester to Buffalo to get the list price. And back home in the worst blizzard I've seen this year. Hopefully you find somewhere closer to your side of the state!
Last time I bought a car, "list price" was the absolute maximum you'd pay, not the minimum, and you wouldn't seriously consider it unless it was a really rare/new/hot car. Nuts how things change (housing prices too...).
