Default Re: So where should I start on $$ negotiations?

Eeek - think I already stuffed up my negotiations. Had it in my mind if I spoke to a dealer I would let them tell me what price they would do for the vehicle before their question "whats your budget?", but under the pressure I told them what I was willing to pay first instead of playing hardball (I actually emailed a dealer and they called me so this has been over the phone)
My goal is to save as much as possible (like we all are) and get a car now rather than waiting (dont have patience to wait 3 months or whatever) so I decided I am going to go for a 2010 plated MC Titanium hatch. So I told the dealer that I wanted "a driveaway price very very low $40's". He basically didnt say no, he just said, I'll work with you to get you a deal.
Dont know if I have mucked it all up now, seeing he didnt come straight out and say no thats not possible, maybe I could of said my budget was lower? I wonder if my price expectation is reasonable?
