One important thing to consider is to keep all of your potential transactions with the dealer separate. What I mean is that if you are planning to do a trade in, and finance the car, treat each as three separate transactions. Since you are potentially pre-ordering the car and the price has not been released, go ahead and negotiate the trade in price now. Then seek outside financing thru a third party to get the best rates (like thru penfed.com) and then finally you can "try" to negotiate the price of the car, which when all combined will give you the best deal. If you wait and do all if these negotiations at once with the dealer, you are bound to lose.
I am in a different situation since I am handing down my current vehicle to my daughter and then plan to purchase the car outright so that I do not have any car payments.
Good Luck!
