And right now, there is a real scarcity of deals to be had.
You have to show up in person before the real numbers are revealed, at least in most cases.
Right now, here in Houston, Texas, the only dealers showing any discount off of MSRP are the Volkswagen dealers. At least that's what I've seen from my limited perusing of dealer web sites.
Good thing I am just browsing to see what I like. Still trying to hold out until year end/January range before doing anything.

Sent LF pix of an '18 MB E400 (designo red w/maroon top/cream interior) and C300 (blue/blue/brown), '18 Audi A5 (gray/black/gray) and a '17 BMW 640xi (at Jag dealer, white/black/black). When asked which was her preference, "The white one."
Dealers closed today, maybe we'll walk the lots together. But, I'm getting the feeling that she's just not comfy w/3 cars. Or trading her CX-5 for a vert. Oh, well. It's the thought that counts.

also sounds like upgrading to a nicer only car is a better move.

Of course they may be low balling the offer on the trade to compensate.

But, I will back off a bit, it's really up to her. But, to tell you the truth, of course I'm enjoying the hunt! And, as I head towards SS age, I'm really fighting the urge to do some kind of Delta House-like all out stupid gesture. Like all here, I've worked a long time, helped put two kids through braces, summer camp and college. Bought one a car!
I warned the LC, it may happen. Upcoming two car garage with space for a car (or two!) behind...
I drove British for just shy of 10 years, only one show stopping incident (warranty), perhaps it's time to follow the Clarkson thought that one only buys the Jag XK because they can't afford an Aston Martin; that DB11 sure is purty...
The A7 continues to be fun in the new tech department (the electric cruising and spaceship sounds amuse all around me), but I'm not a fan of the dual screens. Buttons and switches are just so simple and functional. It's a great GT, eats up the highway smoothly and quietly. Handles well enough, but not Mulholland, Angeles Crest of TAil of the Dragon worthy.
While at the Jag dealer, they had a '15 Jag XF for sale, Blue/beige. I tear came to my eye, but when I looked in the window, my instant reaction was, "Wow, that's an old looking interior design." Luckily, I was not struck down by Sir William at that moment!
Urges to resist, I know I'm in the right place for support.

@tifighter you surviving the heat? Hearing south sound is about 10-20 degrees warmer than us up north.
I caught F9 today at the IMAX theater, and @breld was heading to the MB store just a short 5 minute drive from the complex, so I joined him for a quick lot walk.
Spotted this on the forecourt - I took a picture of the dealer sticker, but I'll wait to post it after I've allowed you to guess how much the markup is.

I think if I had to get a car right now, I could do it. would probably end up leasing to not get stuck on the wrong end of the bubble. But most likely, it might not be my ideal car. But I am sure I could get something that was acceptable. Probably some sort of hybrid hyundai.

China Blue came around as the rename of a very similar color to my fintail, I think maybe referring to Wedgwood style ware. MB also had a "Havana Brown", later renamed "Tobacco Brown".
Speaking of car shopping, my ~70 year old uncle has become bored with the Taurus he took over from my grandma, which replaced a LeSabre he had for years. He's now eyeing a 60K mile 2012 Honda Fit, kind of a left field choice. He was excited about an element he found for sale, but it sold - interesting that he's into these cars now.

I will share the MSRP of the car, however…. $180k

One curious omission from Volvo. No individual read outs. Really miss that coming from GM and Hyundai. My lowly Elantra had it, why can’t a 60K Volvo?

I don't know if they're still using that, and I have no idea what Volvo is doing.
I will agree that the individual read outs are very handy, I would not want that to be missing on any new car I was considering. Not a deal breaker, but a negative.
