What exactly do you plan on negotiating at this point? There’s no car, no car cost/ price (if the factory order wait time is a year) no decision maker (if you send in someone else) and you are looking at something in high demand. Just focus on making sure this is the right vehicle for you FIRST before even worrying about price, warranties, protection packages etc….

Just sending a 3rd base coach in to start haggling price before you even have a vehilce is only going to make the buying process terrible, and a sure way to get a crappy deal.
