School me on what not to do when buying a new car

I'm on a couple waitlists for the GR Corolla and the official announcement is tomorrow. I've never bought a car from a dealer before, let alone a new, potentially limited supply model during huge supply shortages so I'm assuming I'm in a great position to make noob mistakes and screw myself over somehow.

With that in mind, what should I watch out for through the whole process? What kinds of things are normal (but different from a private sale) and what's a red flag? I've heard of things like dealers refusing your allocation if you don't have a trade in or aren't using their financing, huge "market adjustments" etc.

I know nothing about anything here, so hit me with anything you know.
