Help, getting Tl tonight

I had placed a deposit on an anthracite/quartz navi that was to come in May 10th. All of the sudden the dealer called and said that the car was here and if I could come tonight to finalize the deal. I'm thinking he is trying to get his monthly quota because he was very insisting on getting the deal today. What do you guys think? Do I have any leverage here or do I get what ever I can on a very popular combo? Any advice? Thanks.

If anything, this works to your advantage, he will want to get this deal done today because it is the last day of the month. He will strech further than he normally would because he needs his quota so he will be willing take a little bit of a "loss" on the deal good luck and congrats ahead of time!

Good luck. you should be able to negotiate a lot. Get all the extras and a very reasonable out the door price. Update us on how you do.

Make sure it's new VIN... instead of old one.

Why he suddenly got one car, someone dropped it or ...

Do you already have a price on paper???? If so, you can at least hit him up for extras.

So..Any news? I'm in LA also and am going to start shopping some dealerships in hope of buying one at the end of May. What are some of the dealerships that everyone is getting the good deals at? Think I read South Bay can give about 1K off MSRP on Navi.
