I'd rec'd contacting every Stlr within an hr to 2 hr drive, and
seeking their best "internet" price or quoted price; (some may
not give a price on phone).

I agree with peakpro: new model, cool looking, combined with
std hoopla = little initial discounting, and nothing like the fire
sales going on for "on lot" '06s and earlier MYs.

If you are buying with payments, a smart salesperson will/may
hoodwink you with down payments, finance #s, etc. It is a
complex purchase, it's sometimes diff. to compare "deals" and,
they have the upper hand for the uninitiated.

It is also a very expensive buy, (2nd only to a house or boat or
plane), and should be approached very carefully. Park those
new car frenzy, and emotions aside, imo.

There are articles and books written on "buying a new
car": try the web and do some reading, eg. Edmunds, et al.
No dis, but your questioning post reads very naive, and most
car sales people rub their hands over the aspect of a neophyte
walking in to "buy"...

There are some very sharp finance people on this board, so
I'm bascially bumping it for you, for other opins, but your
ques. is very complex, in terms of trying to impart experience
to "answer" your question.

I would not be in a hurry, frankly, to grab one...they will
make another batch of them, every freakin day.
