That involves research as to what dealers are asking for similar units, and what they are actually selling for. Along with that you need to know what the unit you are trying to buy is worth. An asking price is just that. The selling price may be something totally different.
Don't be offended by what you perceive the dealers attitude to be. It shouldn't be an emotional experience. It's all about making a deal both you and the seller can live with.
