Saying that, unless you ask you won't get, so go for it. Just don't devote too much of your life traipsing round dealerships expecting to get anything more than a gesture (free TLC etc) on a model that hasn't actually been launched.

The one area you should look at though is the value of your Celica, as trade-in values vary greatly from one dealer to the next.

And as supersaw has just said, the movement on dealer-fitted accessories is much greater, so it really pays to shop around on those!

Well said oh wise one

Also worth negotiating on the finance too, there are different packages and be aware of what APR you could get elsewhere, I got mine down from 9% to 7.3% on my car I pick up in a few weeks, but I know that on a brand new MINI you can get them down to 6.3% APR on a HP finance deal
