Ordering my Leaf!

[deco]

Hi All, I haven't been around here in quite some time. Been waiting and waiting on the Leaf, and I am finally in the process of ordering! A couple of questions:

I bought my current car in 1997 so I'm a little rusty at this.  Has anyone bought a new car in a while? What's the best deal on a car loan: bank/credit union or dealership? Or some other source? How much do you put down for a down payment? Can you haggle on the price of the Leaf (I sure hope so), or is this a fixed price kind of deal, like the Saturn of yore? Thanks for any help!
