I saw some discussion on net.auto a while back about the discounts
you could get from a new car's list price by haggling.

My question is, does the expected discount change for a special-ordered
car compared to one already on the lot?  Can you get a better discount
on a car already there, or does it not matter much?
Notice that I said "special-ordered", as in "from the factory", as in
"domestic US manufacturers only" (I think).  I plan to special-order
a Lancer, the reason for my question.

I can summarize to the net any responses mailed to me, and I'm mainly
interested in your true-life experiences in dealing with the dealers.
