Deals through "Fleet manager"?

What is a fleet manager, how do I get in touch with one, and why do they sell for so much less?

I'm no expert, but I think you're looking for someone who specializes in fleet sales at a dealership. I would just call the local dealer for the make you're interested in and ask if they have a fleet salesperson.
They sell cheaper because they are selling multiple vehicles at one time.

I think fleet managers get base salary + commission whereas sales people get commission only (not sure...). But I think u should deal with the Sales Manager directly to get the best price.

Last year when I bought my Mustang, it was through a fleet manager. He explained that he was able to sell cars for a lot less since they get paid based on volume, not per car. Generally they like to sell multiples (like to Enterprise or something), but will sell to individuals on occasion. This was the second best buying experience as there was practically no bargaining. The best of course was buying my Rx8 ... and that's only cuz I'm in with the salesguy

I worked with the Fleet Manager by inquiring a price through the dealerships website. Hope that helps
