Yep that is what I did. Got my car for 27,998.00 with a roof and a wing on July 3rd.

From my approach, don't even visit the dealers. Start the interest by emailing them (the sales or internet manager only), and then do all negotiations over the phone. I made them know I was in a hurry (makes them work more frantically and not waste your time) and wanted the exact car with exact specs at the given offer. If they didn't take it, I went to the next dealer. Once you get an good offer, don't stop there, use it against the next dealer, until you get to the price you want. Always work from invoice (calculate all the fees into it too, so you don't seem like a jackass) Supposedly those managers work a number's game, and want to end the month with a high quantity of sales.
