I've ordered a new Supra via Toyota and nominated a dealer who has been pretty useless -- didn't call me back, I had to keep chasing etc..

Finally they called me saying there is a delivery date, do I have any negotiation power with the price or perhaps some free servicing? I'm used to haggling for a new car, but obviously as I've already paid a deposit to Toyota way back to January I have little power. I could ask Toyota for another dealer I suppose...

Any suggestions? Thanks.

Time for negotiation would have been before you placed an order I suspect, but cant hurt to ask when the vehicle arrives.
I suspect the answer will be no discount as Toyota wont have a problem finding a customer for your order if there's a waiting list for them.

I haven’t ordered the car yet — just reserved it. Going in to see the dealer later (for the first time) to place the order.

I would be amazed if they will discount a new Supra as if you don't buy it then the next person in line will but if you don't ask then you don't get

Absolutely. Car is in demand and they can sell it for list.

Yes absolutely this. Buy it or don’t are you choices, someone else will be right around the corner for it tbh.

Some US dealers have been sticking huge markups on them

Goodness. Anyone want a Supra for only £99,000?
