One other thing I'll mention about getting deals. My usual tactics involve emailing/faxing multiple dealers for quotes by a certain deadline, but on my CX-7 I decided to try out carcostcanada.com to see what would happen.

Basically they have specific car dealers they partner up with that automatically get your information when you request invoice pricing on their brand of vehicle.

When I did this on the CX-7 I had a phone call within 2 hours and an offer of invoice + $200 to ship the vehicle (dealer had to pull the vehicle from southern Alberta and being that I wanted that specific colour/option pkg I was willing to pay the $200 freight on top of invoice-- normally I wouldn't).
