Here's another option. Pay sticker, but take foreign delivery.

My brother just paid sticker for a new 330ci for his wife, took delivery in Munich. BMW takes approx 8% off sticker, gives you 1.5 free RT tickets on Lufthansa, 2 weeks Euro insurance, and a factory tour and free shipping to your local dealership. If you add the airfare and 8% discount, it's about what you can squeeze out of a local dealership if you work at it.

While in Germany, my bro got to see USvGhana World Cup game (after paying 400 Euros for 2 tickets from a scalper) drive the autobahn in his new car, and zip down to Italy and back. Car arrives here in 6 weeks. Pretty nice trip if ya ask me.

Now...I'm not a fan of buying new... but if you're buying new you can either knock down the price or take delivery overseas.

Porsche has a Euro delivery option...but it doesn't offer any discount or airfare. I think Volvo has the best perks, but you have to want a Volvo.
