I have just discovered a most wonderful and inexpensive way to purchase
any American car for cheaper than you will ever be able to get one from
a dealer.  Its called Automobile Brokers!  Yep, just look in your yellow
pages -- there are a whole list of them.

I called one up just to see how it worked -- they apparently work out 
arrangements with local dealers to get cars at fleet rates.  This guy
had representatives for all American cars -- there may be those that
handle foreign autos.  I told him what I wanted as he went down the list of
possible options.  You probably should do your homework on getting familiar
with what you can/cannot get before hand.  He totalled it all up and gave
me a price about $1100 off of list, which was better than any deal I
could strike myself.  If I were to opt for it, he places the order in
my name with that dealer -- warranty and service are handled by that
dealership.  Ofcourse, you can go to any dealer to get service and
warrenty work done on a new vehicle.

I have heard stories that a broker bought a guy a plane ticket to
fly to Houston (from Dallas) to pick up a car for less than the
dealer invoice!  In any case, this is something to look into for 
all you folks that are shopping for new cars.  If you try this out
and have exceptionally good or bad luck, please post on the net so
we all can hear about it.  I can't believe that I had never heard 
about this before now!
