Can you comment on how early one should start Step 1? Let's say I'm planning to do an ED in May 2016, which is about 8 months away. Does it even makes sense to ask a dealership now if they have allocations? I would think they want to sell their allocations sooner than when I need mine. Will they hold an allocation for me for that far in advance?
For a ED in May 16 you'd probably want an April build date, which means the dealer will get that allocation in March. There's no point in trying to make a deal now as they won't have that allocation and they'll have no idea how many they will get. Nor could they even sign any sort of deal for that far ahead. February might be a good time to start looking for dealers, start talking to them, get a feel for their pricing. Then come back in March and place your order.
