You need to be careful, do the math, and make sure you're not expecting too much...

I could give my dealer $25k to get my payments down. Does that mean I got $35k off the MSRP...
That $3,500 you are referring to is in the form of rebates, not cash that I paid to the dealer. The dealer discounted $9,500 and another $3,500 in rebates. So $13,500 plus my down payment of an additional $3,500 brings a total cap reduction of $17,000.
