Does anyone have any recent experience with purchasing a new 172S?

I'd like to know if there's any room for negotiation on the price of the
aircraft from the list price. Considering that Cessna has decreased
production, I'm beginning to think they will force a demand in the
marketplace.

I *FULLY* understand the arguments of the newsgroup against purchasing new,
but with the current tax breaks for my business, purchasing new makes sense.
