Can I ask you how you go them to go so low?

"Can't" is dealerspeak for "wont". They CAN go much lower, whether they will or not no one here knows.
Depends a lot on where you live ... you didn't say. In areas where the 4R is in demand, to get 5% off is average. 10% off is about the best anyone gets - exceptions of course. A trade-in allows the dealer to muddle things up - they may give you a good discount, but less on the trade, or vice-versa.
Your discount is 6%, which is good in some areas, fair in others.
The dealer has to know you're a serious buyer, otherwise you're just another shopper. Lastly,
big discounts on '17s, like US mfgrs, won't happen either - a point or two more ... maybe.
You only know what they'll actually take when you whip out the checkbook, offer them $X and walk if they refuse. If they DON'T call you, well, you know. If they DO, the door is still open.
