Best of luck to you all today! Crossing my fingers and praying and sending we-shall-overcome vibes to Richmond!!
One more data point. My sister-in-law (yorktown, VA resident) needs a new car. I advised her that even with USAA car buying service, she'd still have to start now to get their "pre-negotiated discount" and then email all the dealerships in the area to figure out who would actually HONOR that discount, and she'd still have to play them all off each other to figure out where to get the best price. I don't envy her. Unfortunately, she can't afford a Tesla (even a CPO one), so she's stuck with this horrible process. So, point is: even when dealerships have an option to be cooperative, they're a PITA.
