When I bought my Subaru I wanted it quickly but there was a wait, new-iSh model at the time. Instead of screwing a deal I told them I'd pay full RRP driveaway (so onroads were effectively discounted) less $100 for every week I waited. I got the cheapest deal of almost anyone who was buying these at the time when it arrived, ~19 weeks later.
I could not have made it arrive any sooner, and I ensured nobody else was getting my car ahead of me when it arrived by making the dealer chase it to preserve their margin.
Of course others got it cheaper after a year of so went by, but at the time it was a negotiation that worked well for me. I bought our GTI from the same dealer and tried it again but they wouldn't have a bar of it!
