Hate to say I told you so, but at least you learned a valuable lesson about car dealers.
Here's a prediction on how the meeting will go:
You walk in, he tells you he'll drop his price $100. You say to drop it the whole grand, he says you're crazy, works it down to $750 over and shows you a bullshit invoice or other form that says how much money he would lose by letting it go at that price that he offered. Eventually, you'll work it down to about $550 over the value that you got, realize that you wont be able to get it at a price near that without restarting the headache process all over again with someone else, and to spare yourself the aggravation, convince yourself that it's not that much more than what you were going to pay and take it.
