More 9-5 Pricing Info

I went to my local dealer on my way home today - 4th visit in a week - and spent some time with the asst. manager (are all sales reps asst. managers?)working out the best pricing on a 2002 9-5 Linear with Auto, MP, and Premium Package. I have a handwritten faxed offer from another dealer for the same car at $29,500 and wanted to see if he could beat it. He told me that "there is no way they would sell that car at that price - if you can get it with no strings attached you should take it", and then showed me how the money works. He started with the MSRP price of $38,880 and an invoice of $36,007 and did the following: starting with invoice he subtracted the incentive of $4,500 for the 9-5 Linear, the $500 loyalty credit, and the dealer holdback (which he said is 4% of the MSRP) of $1,552 and got to $29,455. He said the dealer would never do a deal where they made $45 - which of course is true if the numbers that he gave me are correct. Do these numbers seem right? I feel like I am very close to the bottom but want the board's feedback.
While I was there I offered $25,000 for a 2001 9-5 with 2.3L, but otherwise fully loaded (even ventilated seats). If they accept the offer I will pick it up tomorrow, and if not I will head to the other dealer and see what kind of games they are playing with this $29,500 offer for the 2002. They probably won't have my car anymore. Or I'll have to get the $1,000 rust-proofing. :)
