I stopped "shopping" for cars a long time ago. Just fed up with the lies and BS salesmen and their managers spew, the "high pressure" tactics such as "I can give it to you for this price if you buy now!", and the hours wasted going through a second round of negotiations with the Finance Guy. So I don't know what my "best deal" would/could/should have been.
I used to look for "loss leader" ads ("One only at this price!") in the Sunday newspaper but most ads are now for lease "deals" only. Plus you still have to waste hours with the Finance Guy.
So, now I just use Carsdirect and if I like their price (which I generally do), I go buy the car at the dealership they send me to. Papers are pre-prepared and it takes 30 minutes or the time it takes for the dealer to clean the car (whichever is greater) to drive off with a new car. Sadly, they have changed their business model lately so I may purchase my next car through Costco or some other online car sales site.
