Sounds like you've got enough experience to know how your local dealers will play (or not). Since you've bought locally before, you must have received what you consider a decent deal (in the past). Is it no longer a decent deal in your book, or are you looking for a steal of a deal, and wanting to take advantage of the situation. If you are looking for the steal, you will most certainly have to go elsewhere.
I don't mean that negatively. As consumers we need to take advantage of everything we can, because the dealers certainly do.
