Negotiating on price

Can you negotitate the price on a smart car? My smart car will be in in a few days, will they negotiate a price with me?

They won't, they have very little margin as is. But give it a go.

If you are patient and have a positive and pleasant attitude it is amazing how many times you can negotiate things that are non-negotiable.

Though nothing is set in stone, in general, if you ordered it, then you agreed at that time to the price, so no, you won't be able to negotiate (*subject to change without notice).
If you are looking to get an orphan - anything is possible, and the situation will change dealer to dealer, and as the orphanage grows or shrinks...

If they won't budge on the price, at least try negotiating for some goodies (fog lights, floor mats, etc.). All they can say is no. You would be in a better position to negotiate if there are a bunch of orphans on the lot that aren't moving.
