Had 10 percent off plus the rebate in PA and a 521 fee but decided it was not worth my while to drive 5 hours round trip. 8% off from another NJ dealer with base MF but wanted 1200 in doc fees. Not an easy process - like pulling teeth except for the PA dealer. done all on the internet but I had some time. I think if you wait a month or two you will be back to getting 12 percent off.

We are shopping for 2 cars, you think it's bad with luxury cars, it's worse with economy cars. We've been eyeing $30k Rav4 or Nissan Rogues, and dealers don't even respond. One of them would not quote unless we go in and meet with their finance
makes no sense, especially when everyone is pushing for online sales.
I might end up extending my lease 3 months or so because I don't have the energy or patience to deal with these dealers, might as well wait and let them chase me when things slow down.
