- You CAN get a discount on an Aquanaut
- You DON'T have to wait years to obtain a Nautilus - you will have to pay retail
- You will need to do research, have a good relationship with AD, and have CASH ready
- Buying 3 in one shot (cash) will help with negotiations, sourcing, and pricing

on a Nautilus not a chance. They have a list and people waiting so if they had 10 and OP wanted all 10 it would still be retail. There are plenty who are waiting to pay full price but i still think you will be waiting a few years. Unless you have a great relationship with an AD already, i just don't see how. Maybe a discount an an aquanaut, but probably not and definitely nothing in the range suggested by the OP, also there is no AD with more than one that i have ever heard of so multiple aquanaut purchases isnt happening.
Paying for 3 PP's in cash you are more likely to get robbed on the way to the AD then you will have a chance of a cash discount. Some small AD's maybe as the CC transaction fee is around 3% but big AD's don't care and many don't want to deal with that much cash anyway and probably prefer a CC.
