Everyone keeps talking about how the dealers won't budge on the price for a while, and they're probably correct. However, I ordered my 2010 GT and the first thing I had to do was put $1000 down for them to place the order. All of a sudden, my leverage was gone. Two months before closing the deal, and I'd already lost all of my leverage since they had my $1k.
Made me think twice about ordering a build in the future. You're better off to find one on the lot you like, imo.

I don't think there's any way they could've legally kept it. It's not like real estate where you put down a good faith deposit. With cars, until you sign a bill of sale, you can walk away free and clear and there are no injured parties in the transaction.

Ordered mine four weeks ago.
Took about half an hour.
Right off the bat $2000 off MSRP was the starting point.
Ended being $500 over invoice was my cost.
I haggled another $500 off my trade.
Probably cold have even got a little more for my trade but they met my numbers I had set in my mind before going in to talk.

Wait. Did you get the GT or the V6?
