We did that for our first car and got about 10% off and a few extras thrown in, i reckon most dealerships will knock 5-10% off the price if you tell them someone else is selling cheaper. Alternatively you can do what we did for our second car, use a broker, charges $5 and they contact all the dealers with your specs and conduct an auction, we got a bit less than 15% of the price and didn't ahve the hassel of going round all the dealers.
