I don't buy brand new cars. It just seems like a bad investment to me. The last new vehicles I bought were my truck in '03 and a motorcycle in '07. I struck a deal on both over the phone. I called every Toyota dealership within 100 miles and they all want you to come down to their arena but I told them no, I'm going to buy a new silver 4x4 Tundra with limited slip today over the phone and I'm shopping on you. After 5 hours on the phone bouncing back and forth between sales guys and eventually sales managers I finally found the bottom line. It came down to 2 hungry sales guys and the one says just go get it from the other guy. He was closer so I said I'd be right down. I negotiated out the door price so no surprises. The sticker price was $32,500 and I bought it for $25,000 including tax and license. He was disappointedwhen I showed up with cash but a deal is a deal. Pretty much the same with the motorcycle. $15k sticker, out the door for 10k. Both sales guys asked me to not tell anyone how much I paid.
