Should I wait till June or July? or any other way to bargain and get it?

advices for any bargaining strategy?? thanks!

there are 12 4.8 E70s in entire vancouver though.. ((((

It's all about supply/demand/timing/having "cash" ie. your financing in order/knowing what you want in advance/walking in and buying with minimal time taken from the salesman (fleet/internet mgr). As long as there are cars on the lot, you can pretty much assume that demand<supply @ that particular price point. What you need to determine is how fast they are turning over each vehicle and how fast their inventory gets replenished. Think about it--everything has a particular price @ any given moment. You'll be suprised how willing they are to "co-operate" once they know that:
1. You're serious about buying RIGHT NOW.
2. You've financially made ALL the arrangements to complete the purchase YOURSELF.
3. Are buying a IN STOCK vehicle.
4. Can complete the WHOLE sales process in a little more than 1 hours tops.

BEWARE!: In this approach you really need to know what your buying, ie. not need to take a test drive, ask a kagillion questions, and all that other stuff. To a salesman time is $$$$...even with limited inventory.. you should be able to get a better price than what they initially offered you.
