i have not.
i would say get a bunch of dealers bidding against eachother, via email, and see who will go the lowest.
i got 3 dealers to $500 over invoice on an 08, but didnt try to go any lower.
you may get lucky in that a dealership needs to get rid of that 08 as they're paying holdback to the manufacturer, and they want an 09 in there instead...but i dont know.
im a little bitter at how my recent purchase went however. if i had it to go over again i would do things different; in the midst of negotiations the interest rate went from 0.9 to 0. i didnt read the purchase/sale agreement carefull enough when they accepted my last offer (which included all calculations right down to the monthly payment - i should NOT have put the monthly payment). there was about $3500 worth of cost-of-borrowing that they just tacked onto the purchase price, at the new interest rate, bringing up my monthly payments to what i had calculated at 0.9%.
i didnt notice this until i went to the dealership to sign the papers and finalize the deal (everything was done over email).
im still seeing red since last week.
also, Car cost canada failed to update their site with the new interest rate until the 5th of the month. the promo went into effect on the 1st, and surely dealerships got wind of the new rates prior, so im sure CCC could have known from its sources as well
