If you're on the hunt for one, check your local dealer for cars that have been ordered months ago, and now , due to Covid the customer can't afford. Our oldest Rachel just scored a Hybrid Rav 4 in a similar blue to our Kona at a bargain price of 7k off.
I tried that ploy on our local Ferrari dealer arguing how crap their F1 cars were - he was most unhelpful.

Can't believe they discounted it that much. That is a popular colour too. @beerman can you explain that one mate I can't! Surely they would have someone else chaffing at the bit to pay list price.. they are asking near full retail for a 2nd hand current base model Hybrid Camry down here. $33k I only paid around $35.5k for my 2nd tier version.
Had a quick chat, it goes along these lines:Sale fails -dealer gets zero - deposit goes to Toy Aus, car to pool.Sale is GO, dealer gets his profit etc. Sale at discount -gets to claim on tax. Sale counts on tally towards sales which sets cost of cars from Toy Aus. Toy Aus gets another towards their target sales and bonus.There is a lot of Mark up in the system. Remember, the Kona 12 months old was $31k drive away in WA.
