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.

Mike, No I'm not looking for a steal of a deal. Just a fair one under these difficult times. I just don't believe a final price being 20%-25% off MSRP is fair right now. Having read dozens and dozens of people posting how they received a 30% out the door price during good economic times over the years, it seems to me that would be a fair price to get now. Personally, I've never received 30% off before. I got 28% off once and I was satisfied with that but I'm not even being offered that much off now and I haven't gotten far enough in talks to know if that's out the door discount or if there are add ons that make the discount even less.
