The last few times I bought a new car or truck, I ordered them through Automotive Avenues (http://www.autoaves.com) and saved quite a bit of money over what dealers were asking.

I went to Stevinson Toyota, Go, and Groove Automotive. None of those places could get me a truck with all the options I wanted in the color I wanted for less than $42,000 out the door.

When I ordered the exact same vehicle from Automotive Avenues, they sent me a quote of $36,500 out the door. I sent them an e-mail accepting the deal. Then, I went to Groove Automotive to inspect it. The truck had just come in on a flatbed railcar and had all the factory plastic on the hood, seats, etc. I signed a few papers and picked the truck up from Automotive Avenues the next day - all cleaned up with a full tank of gas.

I am thinking of ordering a new Acura TL next year.
