^ Yeah that's really the best thing to do, contact the dealer and get on some list. They might even ask to take a deposit to make sure you're serious, something i'd be completely fine with... sure beats waiting for the second batch.

And communicating with multiple dealers will ensure you get a better deal (usually). I always start a bidding war between the 2 biggest dealerships in my area. They both keep chipping at the prices until eventually they end up on a similar level and it comes down to who has the color i want. haha.

YES, bidding wars throw the ball in your court big time. I know a lot of folks that have done this with vehicle purchases along with other services... phone/internet/mobile internet is a popular one.

Only thing I make sure to not do is take my used car I want to get rid of to them, you'll almost always lose big on trade in's, selling privately has served me well.
