Seems like leverage is zero when there are only a handful of vehicles within 100 miles and they're all sold before they go to the lot.
I bought a new truck just when inventory was starting to replenish post Covid, I went in expecting to just have to bend over and take it, shockingly there was haggling room and I was able to get a price that I was pretty satisfied with

Last summer was pretty bad (vehicle dependent I'm sure). I didn't try any extraordinary tricks, but I had a bunch of sales dudes tell me what we wanted just didn't exist in any quantity so the only way to do it was pay a deposit while en route and then pay whatever price was named. We did try and negotiate add ons (and pitch them against each other), but nothing would budge. Reality appeared to be that add ons were just the only way for the dealer to capitalize on demand, and I had a couple of the more honest guys agree.
We had to drive 150 miles just to find one to test drive at the time, so I eventually gave up and accepted it.
