There was enough competition for pre-orders a few months ago I found a few dealers willing to do MSRP within a few hundred miles. SoG was one locally which had no problem doing MSRP, my guess is they would still sell the cars at MSRP but obviously you'll be waiting a few months for a car.

BRianZ's car was my initial pre-order.

I found the car I have now on Autotrader and ended paying MSRP on it. What was nice is the dealership (in MA actually) only charged about a $100 document fee versus the $750 or so at SoG so in the end I only paid about $100 more for the car than I would have from SoG having it shipped here. I had it shipped as opposed to flying up and driving it back and in the end was a good decision, the semi driver only took 2 days to get it to me.

Autotrader is hit or miss though. You'll find cars on there and cars.com but many dealerships pre-populate those listings so what you see is someone else's pre-order. I consider myself lucky I hit a dealership which didn't take any pre-orders and just ordered a few cars on their own. It's very hard to find ones now which are not marked up.
